Abstract Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) with high specific strength, modulus, and other outstanding properties, which could be used in aerospace, shipbuilding, railway. The joint of carbon composite material plate metal plays an important role the overall performance structure. In this paper, a progressive damage model is developed based on laminate theory 3D Hashian theory. double bolt...

Re-establishing a patient's lost dental esthetic appearance is one of the most important topics for contemporary dentistry. New treatment materials and methods have been coming on the scene, day by day, in order to achieve such an aim. Most dentists prefer more conservative and aesthetic approaches, such as direct and indirect laminate veneer restorations, instead of full-ceramic crowns for ant...

Nevertheless, in order to respond to the economic and environmental criteria, hydrogen production and storage have to be improved. This work focuses on gaseous storage under high pressure (700 bar) using a type III vessel (figure 1) that is to say composed of a metal liner – which prevents gas diffusion – and of a composite laminate wrapped by filament winding – which is used as a mechanical st...

Porcelain laminate veneers are used routinely in cosmetic dentistry. The public usually refers to this mode of treatment simply as “veneers.” Their popularity has increased because of television makeover programs, commercials, and magazine advertisements. Porcelain laminate veneers have so increased in their attractiveness that the general public is demanding this type of instant makeover. Furt...

The adhesion strength of a Cu/Cr/polyimide (PI) flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL), which was manufactured by the roll-to-roll process, was evaluated according to the thickness of the Cr seed layer using the 90 peel test. The changes in the morphology, chemical bonding and adhesion properties were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron s...

We present a two dimensional model describing the elastic behaviour of the wall of a curved blood vessel. The wall has a laminate structure consisting of several anisotropic layers of varying thickness and is assumed to be much smaller in thickness than the radius of the vessel which itself is allowed to vary. Our two-dimensional model takes the interaction of the wall with the surrounding tiss...
