Surface defects like porosity, cracks, coarse grains, surface roughness, etc. have a huge
impact on the strength and performance of materials. Due to this, surface treatments have …

Recently published research indicated that, in additive manufacturing fields, single fiber
reinforcements often increased some mechanical properties of composites, but at the same …

In the past few decades, the development of aircraft engines has targeted high bypass ratios
and lightweight construction. The use of lighter and larger fan blades can facilitate the …

In this paper, a constitutive material model is proposed to model the nonlinear mechanical
response of timber, as elastoplastic orthotropic material under three-dimensional (3D) stress …

Three-dimensional woven structures have garnered significant interest due to their
enhanced mechanical properties and structural integrity. This study delves into a detailed …

This paper numerically investigated the effects of manufacturing defects and braiding angle
on the impact compressive properties of three-dimensional (3D) carbon fiber/epoxy resin …

The lack of strengthening mechanisms in the through-thickness direction of two-dimensional
(2D) laminated composites often results in the incubation and initiation of distinct damage …

The construction and examination of meso-structural finite element models of a Chemical-
Vapor-Infiltrated (CVI) C/SiC composite is carried out based on X-ray microtomography …

This study examines how pore defects affect the tensile strength of laminated stitched
carbon fiber reinforced carbon and silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) composites. Using computed …

A novel Ag–Cr active braze is presented to successfully braze carbon/carbon (C/C)
composites to a Ni-based single crystal alloy (DD3). The microstructural characteristics and …
