Over the last years, the demand for high strength and low weight materials, such as fabric-reinforced plastics, has grown in the aeronautical industry. By decreasing the production cost with short production cycle times and increasing reproducibility by automation, fabric-reinforced plastics are becoming increasingly better economical competitors to other construction materials such as for exam...

Although all-ceramic restorations have become popular, they present some biomechanical problems. Some technical failures can be repaired intraorally to help maintain the longevity of the restoration. This clinical report describes an intraoral method for repairing a fractured 4-unit posterior zirconia-based ceramic fixed partial denture using fibre-reinforced composite material.

In this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) nanocomposites Timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. The modified coupled stress (MCST) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. The mechani...

There have been great developments in the area of civil engineering in the recent few decades and among these, construction and material innovation are quite prominent. Steel-concrete composite construction has emerged as one of the fastest methods of construction. Even though considerable research efforts on conventional reinforced concrete columns have been executed prior to now, concrete fil...

The present work derives the exact analytical solutions for buckling and post-buckling analysis of nano-composite beams reinforced by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and principle of virtual work. The reinforcements are considered to be aligned in the polymeric matrix either unifor...
