Important developments in additive manufacturing with concrete have been achieved the past decades. Yet, printed components usually do not comply building standards or basic reliability principles, and are commonly used as load-bearing components. A gap between research practice exists despite several attempts, off-the-shelf commercial solutions for reinforcement of 3D structural seem always ex...

High performance glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites are in greater demand several industrial applications, from civil structures to aviation industry. The has highly cross-linked structure and is found be high polymer. Further, carbon nanofillers such as multi-walled nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) thermally stable microfiller aluminium trihydrate (ATH) being used improve t...

Process design under uncertainty has received considerable attention in recent years, and has led to the development of several modeling and solution approaches. These approaches are broadly categorized under stochastic formulations (model parameters with probability distributions), multiperiod formulations (where uncertain parameters are discretized into a number of deterministic realizations)...

The composite post insulator composed of a large diameter mandrel and flange pressed by one-time integral pultrusion has high strength good toughness is widely used in the existing flexible converter valve. For constructing finite element model crimped insulator, most surface are directly connected, making simulation model’s stiffness deviate from actual distortion. Based on this, this study pr...

This study presents a detailed material characterization of pultrusion specific polyurethane resin system. Firstly, the chemical behaviour was characterized by utilizing differential scanning calorimetry. The cure kinetics fitted well to an autocatalytic model with Arrhenius temperature dependency. system did not show any inhibition time. Then, viscosity evolution observed using rheometer. From...
