Current bone repair implants for use within the body are made from metals [1, 2], which have disadvantages such as stress shielding and can remain in the body permanently. In addition, a fractured bone fixated with a metal plate may re-fracture upon removal of the implant [3].This is due to the fact that bone does not carry sufficient load during the healing process. Recently, a move towards de...

The use of composite laminate materials has increased rapidly in recent years due to their excellent strength to weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. In the construction of marine vessels, stiffened plates are the most commonly used structural elements, forming the deck, bottom hull, side shells and bulkheads. This paper presents the use of a stochastic approach to the design of stiffened ...

– Good insulation materials have low thermal conductivity which is mainly related with the density of material. Bio-composite contribute to reduce environmental footprint buildings. The main goal this study effectiveness a self-growing, bio-composite building material made Miscanthus x giganteus and mushroom Mycelium. Different mix proportions Mycelium were considered identify most suitable mix...

Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cel...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability and antibacterial activity of Ca3SiO5/CaCl2 composite cement. Fifty maxillary anterior teeth were instrumented according to step-back technique and filled with experimental and control materials. To evaluate the sealing ability, a fluid transport model using glucose was employed for quantitative analysis of endodontic microleakage....

It is well known that for laminated composite plates a Levy-type solution exists only for cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply laminates. Numerous investigators have used the Levy method to solve the governing equations of various equivalent single-layer plate theories. It is the intension of the present study to introduce a method for analytical solutions of laminated composite plates with ar...

In the present study, a new method for retrofitting reinforced concrete beam is introduced in which steel-concrete composite jackets containing steel fiber is used. For this purpose, 75% of the peripheral surface of reinforced concrete beams was initially reinforced using steel plates and bolts, and steel fiber reinforced concrete was used between the steel plates and the peripheral surfaces of...

Femur fractures are often treated by fixing metallic bone plates in the fractured area. But subjected to stress shielding. To overcome shielding, a material with similar strength and stiffness that of human can be better suited. The present study focuses on fabrication carbon-flax/bioepoxy hybrid composite. femur plate was modeled using SOLIDWORKS ® 2020 3D modeling software package. Hybrid com...

This study presents the effect of edge ratio and fiber orientation on free vibration analysis of simply supported antisymmetric thin and thick laminated composite plates (LCP) on elastic foundation. In the analysis, the foundation is modeled as two parameters Pasternak and Winkler type foundation. The equation of motion for laminated rectangular plates resting on elastic foundation is obtained ...
