...Fatma Bakal Gumus; Ahmet Yapici Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of doping element on the structural, thermal properties, mechanical performance and the failure mechanism of hexagonal nano boron nitride (h-BN)-reinforced basalt fabric (BF)/epoxy composites produced...

...Miroslaw Rodzewicz Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of the author’s method of fatigue properties assessment of polymer composite structures, especially structures having nodes of concentrated force introduction (NCFI) using fatigue test data of coupons of similar...

...Namita Nanda Purpose The purpose of the study is to present a frequency domain spectral finite element model (SFEM) based on fast Fourier transform (FFT) for wave propagation analysis of smart laminated composite beams with embedded delamination. For generating and sensing high-frequency elastic...

... development will include further evaluation on different products, even more composite-oriented calculations, enhanced graphical environment. Practical implications KuFEM, within its limits, is an alternative to other commercial programs. It is meant to compromise between limited closed-form designs...

...Prof Richard Degenhardt, Dr Leslie J. Cohen; Piotr Tyczynski; Romana Ewa Sliwa; Robert Ostrowski Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of new drill bit geometry adjusted to a given composite type. This paper explores the possibility of drilling in composites without...
