Development of Vertical Wind Turbine Blades Using 4D Printing of Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 10966-10975, 20 June 2026.
Vertical axis wind turbine: White blade: Commercial. Black blade: Composite. ABSTRACT This paper presents the procedure to make vertical wind turbine blades using the technique of 4D printing of composites (4DPC). The blades are made using carbon/epoxy composite materials with a fiber volume fraction of about 60%.

Buckling design of stringer-stiffened conical shells in compression

open access: yes, 1999
The buckling strength of conical shells subjected to axial compression may be increased by means of meridional stiffeners (stringers). Unlike stiffened cylinders, only limited research has been carried out and no design provisions exist for stringer ...

Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 33, 12 June 2026.
Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...
