Canarium odontophyllum, also known as CO, is a highly nutritious fruit. Defatted parts of CO fruit are potent sources of nutraceutical. This study aimed to determine oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation effects of defatted CO pericarp and peel extracts using in vitro bioassays. Cell cytotoxic effect of the CO pericarp and peel extracts were also evaluated using HUVEC and Chang liver cell lin...

Preparation of E-glass/waterborne epoxy prepregs containing natural nanoclay and properties of their composites are presented. Prepregs were prepared by wetting randomly oriented, chopped glass fiber preforms with aqueous dispersion of EpiRez 3522-W-60 resin, dicyandiamide, 2-methylimidazole and natural nanoclay (Cloisite Naþ). The nanoclay content of the aqueous dispersion was adjusted to yiel...

The effect of nanoclay content on the properties of glass fibre reinforced, waterborne epoxy laminates is investigated. Fourteen ply nanocomposite laminates containing 0, 0?1, 0?2, 0?5, 1 and 2 wt-% cloisite Na nanoclay are fabricated by a hot press. The interlaminar shear strength, flexural strength and flexural stiffness of the fabricated nanocomposites are characterised. In addition, the the...

Turbine blades form the main component for energy generation in renewable technologies such as wind and tidal energy. Non-crimp fabric (NCF) based fibre reinforced composite materials, with E-glass carbon fibres have been widely used materials blades. However, sustainable composites using naturally derived basalt, are being developed to reduce environmental impact. Basalt require no chemical ad...

In this paper, an elastic constitutive model based on the Eulerian corotational rate of the logarithmic strain tensor is proposed. Using this model, the large deformation of a closed cycle containing tension, shear, compression and inverse shear is analyzed. Since the deformation path includes a closed cycle and the material is considered as an isotropic elastic material, the normal and shear c...

The interlaminar shear characteristics of a polyurethane (PU) mixture composite structure, quantitatively calculating its energy consumption and carbon emissions were analyzed in this study. Inclined tests carried out on thirteen structures without treatment, high-temperature water bath accelerated loading conducted three structures; further, the strength tire trace position after test was test...

this study deals with the applications of a trigonometric shear deformation theory considering the effect of the transverse shear deformation on the static flexural analysis of the soft core sandwich beams. the theory gives realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness, and satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the bea...

In this paper, layerwise theory (LT) along with the first, second and third-order shear deformation theories (FSDT, SSDT and TSDT) are used to determine the stress distribution in a simply supported square sandwich plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Two functionally graded (FG) face sheets encapsulate an elastomeric core while two epoxy adhesive layers adhere the core to the face ...
