This paper studies acoustic emission (AE) wave propagation in a glass fibre aluminium honeycomb sandwich panel (HSP). Of particular novelty is the quantification of through-thickness AE from one surface HSP to other, which real-world monitoring consideration for applications where instrumentation only be permissible on surface, i.e. aerofoils. Complexity was introduced specimens stages enable t...

The advanced Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) manufacturing technologies make the synthesis of Variable Angle Tow (VAT) composites, which enable design lightweight sandwich structures to possess variable stiffness facesheets. However, both global and local instability phenomena VAT plates under in-plane compressive loads are rarely explored till now. objective this article is fill gap by develop...

This study aims to investigate the effect of changing skins material on strength sandwich plates with circular hole when subjected mechanical loads. Theoretical, numerical and experimental analyses are done for two face sheet materials. Theoretical analysis is performed by using plate theory which depends first order shear deformation tension bending separately. Finite element method was used a...

In a recent paper, we introduced the simultaneous representation problem (defined for any graph class C) and studied the problem for chordal, comparability and permutation graphs. For interval graphs, the problem is defined as follows. Two interval graphs G1 and G2, sharing some vertices I (and the corresponding induced edges), are said to be “simultaneous interval graphs” if there exist interv...

Obstacle representations of graphs have been investigated quite intensely over the last few years. We focus on graphs that can be represented by a single obstacle. Given a (topologically open) polygon C and a finite set P of points in general position in the complement of C, the visibility graph GC(P ) has a vertex for each point in P and an edge pq for any two points p and q in P that can see ...

The two Non-Destructive Evaluation [ NDE ] techniques viz., Air Coupled Ultrasonic [ACU ] and Pulsed Thermography [PT ] find many applications in aerospace industry . These NDE techniques can be used for debond detection in spacecraft structural components like honeycomb sandwich deck plates, shear web panels and central cylinder made of aluminum core and composite face sheets. The Air coupled ...

The detection of Fasciola antigen in serum or stool could be more valuable in diagnosis, hence early treatment before irreparable damage. In this study, fresh adult Fasciola gigantica worms were collected, then incubation in culture medium and collected medium was used to extract crude excretory-secretory (E/S) antigen. E/S was used to immunize rabbits to raise specific antibodies against Fasci...

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for high-strength, lightweight aerospace structures, a new material is created via combination of three prior innovations: sandwich configurations, composites, and the addition of carbon nanotubes. A theoretical sandwich panel is created using facesheets of a novel woven microfibre composite reinforced by carbon nanotube forests, as created by Vinod P...

All-metal sandwich construction holds promise for significant improvements in stiffness, strength and blast resistance for built-up plate structures. Analysis of the performance of sandwich plates under various loads, static and dynamic, requires modelling of face sheets and core with some fidelity. While it is possible to model full geometric details of the core for a few selected problems, th...
