Leeward centerline and side fuselage entry heating predictions for the space shuttle orbiter [PDF]
Heat transfer data measured along the leeward centerline and on the side fuselage of the Space Shuttle orbiter during STS-2 and STS-3 are compared with predictions of empirical heating techniques derived from wind tunnel tests.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Elastic Properties of Graphene/Fiber‐Reinforced Nanocomposites
The formation of graphene/fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites. ABSTRACT This study offers a detailed sensitivity analysis of the elastic behavior of graphene/fiber‐reinforced nanocomposites using a multiscale micromechanical modeling framework. It focuses on key elastic properties, which are the longitudinal modulus (E11), transverse modulus (E22), in ...

Low‐Velocity Impact Response of Nacre‐Inspired E‐Glass/Epoxy Composites With Varying Platelet Sizes
Impact response of nacre‐inspired E‐glass/epoxy composites with different platelet sizes. ABSTRACT This study explores the low‐velocity impact behavior of nacre‐inspired biomimetic platelet composites (NIBPC), using low‐cost E‐glass fiber in chopped strand mat (CSM) form as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix.

A Novel Approach for ∆K Estimation in the Fatigue Threshold Region Based on ΔKth and Kmax,th
ABSTRACT A novel procedure, proposed by Kujawski and Vasudevan 1, has been evaluated as an alternative to the ASTM E647 standard for determining the ∆Kth and Kmax,th thresholds. This method relies solely on the actual propagation of cracks, which occurs only when both thresholds are satisfied simultaneously. For long cracks, a more efficient estimation
