Abstract Using lightweight materials in aircraft structures, especially carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), can be an option for achieving aviation's ambitious emission reduction goals. However, using CFRP can be associated with adverse environmental and economic impacts, which can relativize its potential benefits.

Abstract Biobased products can achieve carbon negativity by storing biogenic carbon in the technosphere through circular loops. Quantifying these benefits requires quantitative assessment tools such as life cycle assessment (LCA). However, the LCA of biobased materials is not straightforward due to the complexity of addressing agroecosystem carbon ...

Improving of the wear resistance of working parts agricultural machinery by the implementation of the effect of self-sharpening [PDF]
The failure of the cutting elements of farm machinery is due to the blunting of cutting edges (increase of their radius) till the limit values. The most effective method for increasing the wear resistance of farm machinery is the realization of self ...
