A table-top volumetric CT system has been implemented that is able to image a 5-cm-thick volume in one circular scan with no cone-beam artifacts. The prototype inverse-geometry CT (IGCT) scanner consists of a large-area, scanned x-ray source and a detector array that is smaller in the transverse direction. The IGCT geometry provides sufficient volumetric sampling because the source and detector...

The paper deals with the preparation of an experiment semi-rigid timber connections using modern connectors Rothoblaas Alumidi. consists loading a bracket structural wood. This is attached to glue laminated beam Alumidi connector. There are few specimens, which will be examined. Each specimen differs in number and measurements beams. deformations connection itself, as well deformation measured ...

in design and optimization process of laminated composite structures, the number of layers, layer angles, stacking sequence, material types and etc should be specified. each of aforesaid parameters can be applied as a design variable. in this paper the target is to minimize the weight of laminated composite pin loaded structures. the laminated composite structures are designed based on the load...

Recently, the protective clothing field introduces the usage of composite materials taking advantage of their outstanding properties. In this paper, the multifunctional performance of hy...

A novel electro-thermal laminated ceramic composed of ceramic tile, carbon-based layer, dielectric layer, and foaming ceramic layer was designed and prepared by tape casting. The surface temperature achieved at an applied voltage of 10 V by the laminated ceramics was 40.3 °C when the thickness of carbon-based suspension was 1.0 mm and the adhesive strength between ceramic tile and carbon-based ...

In the context of a low environmental impact energy mix, embodied building materials can account for up to 46% building's life cycle over 50-year service life. Fifty percent this corresponds combination structure and envelope. While most studies have compared different residential systems or wall assemblies, study aims quantify contribution initial impacts assemblies' exterior walls an office i...

The objective of the present study is to describe the results of research that has been conducted on the buckling behavior of rectangular laminated orthotropic plates that have a rectangular hole. As a result of using some geometrical holes which cause stress concentrations on laminated orthotropic plates, the analysis about the buckling coefficient of the elements become very important. This w...

The aim of this study were to evaluate tannin resorcinol formaldehyde (TRF) for the preparation cross-laminated timbers (CLTs) made from fast-growing tree species and analyze physical mechanical properties CLTs. TRF copolymer resin was prepared by using bark extracts Swietenia mahagoni (L.) Jacq. It observed that adhesive possessed less solid content (23.59%), high viscosity (11.35 poise), pH v...

Finite element analysis of the delamination crack propagation in laminated composites is presented. Fracture mechanics based Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), and the cohesive element technique, have been used to simulate the delamination initiation and propagation under Mode-I type loading. Detailed description of the parameter selection process for these two techniques with ABAQUS®/Stan...
