This paper presents a data fusion method between the results of ultrasound using phased array at 5MHz frequency and those obtained through eddy current examination at 1-10MH frequency. The obtained results are compared with destructive tests, a very good correlation being obtained. The effects of delamination over the properties of CFRP are studied using dynamic mechanical analyzer, emphasizing...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers are playing a key role for future aircraft structure design concepts as the newest technical developments for aircraft models B787 and A350 are showing. Due to the specific mechanical properties of this composite material and the novel manufacturing and machining techniques for large-scale CFRP made aircraft structures, it is necessary to establish an adequate p...

SUMMARY Theoretical analyses are made of the influence of the following features on the longitudinal shear and transverse tensile moduli of unidirectional fibre reinforced composites: (i) random variations in positioning of individual fibres, (ii) overall variations leading to fibre bunching, (iii) overall variations leading to interspersed matrix layers, (iv) localised variations resulting in ...

In this paper, free vibration analysis of a polymer-based nano-composite beam reinforced by boron-nitride nanotubes and subjected on elastic foundation, is studied. Smooth and defect-free nanotubes with uniform and directly- orientated in matrix are intended. Also, nanotubes’ distribution in the thickness direction of beam is regarded as a uniform distribution of the three different targeted on...

This review paper reported carbon nanotubes reinforced composites for biomedical applications. Several studies have found enhancement in the mechanical properties of CNTs-based reinforced composites by the addition of CNTs. CNTs reinforced composites have been intensively investigated for many aspects of life, especially being made for biomedical applications. The review introduced fabrication ...

It is my brief to provoke discussion on the way the mass media handle nutrition and health information; but also to create a ‘broader perspective’ by referring briefly to other channels of communication, the professions mainly, and ways that eating behaviour and health can be influenced other than by nutrition education. The mass media are made up of a number of enterprises with common and indi...

Composite resins were reinforced with glass and polyethylene fibers in this study, and the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color change of composite resins was investigated. After accelerated aging, the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color stability of composite resins was also examined. There were three experimental groups (n=12 disks per group): non-fiber-reinforced composite (non-...

the total coal and lignite consumption of the thermic power plants in turkey is approximately 55 million tons and nearly 15 million tons of fly ash is produced. the remarkable increase in the production of fly ash and its disposal in an environmentally friendly manner is increasingly becoming a matter of global concern. studies for the utilization of fly ash in turkey are necessary to reduce en...
