The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of dents on the fatigue properties of 0.04 inch thick 2024-T3 bare aluminum sheet, which is the most widely used material for aircraft skin. The study is divided into ...

In this work, electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was used to deposit carboxylic acidfunctionalized carbon nanofibers (O-CNFs) and amine-functionalized carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) on the surface of single carbon fibers. Using ...

The addition of carbon nanotubes into a variety of nano-composites permits the enhancement of properties like mechanical strength, conductivity and corrosion resistance thus making them more functional. In the present ...

A compass gait biped is a theoretical model of a human that is physically walking. The compass gait model is a 2D planer representation that simplifies the calculations required to mathematically describe the human ...

The tailorability of composite sandwich structure with their strength- to- weight ratio interests in all field of crashworthiness application. An investigation of sandwich structure under static and high speed condition ...

Potting compounds are composite materials made up of a mixture of a polymer matrix and hollow particles called microballoons. They are used for reinforcing the core section of honeycomb laminates around fastener locations ...

The roughness of a surface influences the surface mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, hardness and so on. In a plain strain condition, a material under deformation does not undergo change in Elastic Modulus, ...

Ever since composite materials have been used in the aerospace industry, there have been problems with cutting and machining them. One of the reasons for this problem was the dearth of available tooling to machine composites. ...

Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, SEM, EDX, heat capacity and SQUID measurement were carried out in conjunction with a catalytic study on mixed Fe-Mo oxides, some of which have been used in selective oxidation ...

Aircraft regulations for seat certification are adapting to new crashworthiness exigencies. However, the use of the forty year old Hybrid II Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) for seat certification has remained invariable ...
