The effects of blending conditions on the microstructural and mechanical properties of EPDM / organo modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites at various clay loadings were investigated. The effects of the processing ...

Al-foam filled and empty tubes of aluminum, brass and titanium were compression tested laterally. The specific energy absorption in filled tubes increased greatly in terms of percentages, and was greatest in aluminum tubes. ...

Optimized structures found in nature can be sometimes imitated in engineering structures. The recent interest in functionally graded metallic materials makes bone structures interesting because bones are naturally functionally ...

Son şekle yakın Alüminyum kapalı hücreli yapılar, örneğin otomobil tampon ve kapıları, tabletlerin köpükleştirilmesi metodu olarak bilinen toz metalürjisi yöntemi ile hazırlanmaktadır. Metot tozların ...

A well-verified and validated numerical model was used to investigate stress wave propagation in a multilayer material subjected to impact loading. The baseline material consisted of a ceramic faceplate and composite backing ...

Mechanical and thermal properties of non-crimp glass fiber reinforced clay/epoxy nanocomposites were investigated. Clay/epoxy nanocomposite systems were prepared to use as the matrix material for composite laminates. X-ray ...

The effect of interfacial interactions on the mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP)/natural zeolite composites was investigated under dry and wet conditions. Interfacial interactions were modified to improve filler ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have outstanding mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. As a result, particular interest has been recently given in exploiting these properties by incorporating carbon nanotubes into some ...

In this study, mechanical and morphological properties of composites made up of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filled with calcium carbonate and fly ash (FA) were studied. Interfacial interactions were modified ...

Samples of S2-glass/epoxy composites have been subjected to microstructural investigation after testing in compression at quasi-static and high strain rates using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A numerical model was ...
