Multi-scale modelling of moisture diffusion coupled with stress distribution in CFRP laminated composites
Laminated composite structures operating in a marine environment are subject to moisture ingress. Due to the slow diffusion process of moisture, the distribution of moisture is not uniform so that the laminates can develop hygrothermal stresses. An accurate prediction of the moisture concentration and the associated hygrothermal stress is vital to the understanding of the effect of marine envir...
متن کاملSynthesis of Polyaniline/Polyamide composites as membrane and investigation of its properties
Practical applications of conducting polymers such as polyaniline as membranes are particulary limitedbecause of their poor mechanical properties. However by mixing polyaniline with some conventional insulatingpolymers such as nylon and preparation composite films through solvent casting or blending, it seems to be asuitable way in order to increase the mechanical properties of the conducting p...
