The conflict between strength and toughness of Mg matrix composites extremely limits its engineering application. Inspired by nacre, CNTs/Mg bionic laminated were prepared electrophoretic deposition. Compared with Mg, the yield elongation composite was increased 52% 59% respectively. structure intercepts dislocations layers. homogeneous composites, stacked produce higher back stress strengtheni...

in the traditional hole drilling method the in-plane stresses are studied in detail and the interlaminar stresses are not taken seriously. the interlaminar stresses on the free edge of composite materials are important and can cause matrix cracking and delamination. inserting holes in composite laminates causes free edges and it can induce interlaminar shear and normal stresses. in this researc...

We demonstrate for the first time reconfigurability of optical signals within advanced laminated composite. The approach employs an ultra-thin planar circuit, embedded glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) that switches input though Ohmic heating. This advance highlights new opportunities composites, enabling data transmission redundancy and a consideration branching architectures.

References 11–21 lued structural members are manufactured in a variety of configurations. Structural composite lumber (SCL) products consist of small pieces of wood glued together into sizes common for solid-sawn lumber. Glued-laminated timber (glulam) is an engineered stress-rated product that consists of two or more layers of lumber in which the grain of all layers is oriented parallel to the...
