Investigation of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Welding with a New Tool in Friction Stir Welding Method

Application of thermoplastic materials has increased dramatically in recent decades due to its recyclability, low density, resistance to chemical changes. The friction stir welding process is one of the new methods of solid state welding, which has recently undergone a significant improvement. In this research, using a new tool Made of plain carbon steel st37 in friction stir welding and low co...

Assessment of polymer composite reinforced with nanomaterial against ionizing radiation

Introduction: Unwanted exposure of ionizing radiation may result in carcinogenesis, cell mutations, and organ failure. High-atomic number elements such as lead, tungsten, bismuth have been traditionally used for radiation protection. Theoretical and practical studies have shown that a variety of shielding materials e.g. polymer composites (PCs) can be used for attenuation of th...

Fundamentals of Polymer Process Control

coinjection, injection compression, gas assist molding, etc.), Process control has been recognized as an important means of improving the performance and consistency of thermoplastic parts. However, no single control strategy or system design has been universally accepted, and the manufacturing systems continue to produce defective components during production. This paper provides an overview s...

Texturing Composite Implicit Objects with Moving Parts

In this paper we present a method to apply two dimensional textures onto composite and articulated objects defined by implicit functions. The method generates a particle system associated to the gradient vector field of implicit functions to acquire texture coordinates at a support surface. By extending this method to composite objects, we prevent the appearence of ghosting effects at the blend...
