... are advised to reduce waste in research projects. Design/methodology/approach The study aims to provide a novel prediction approach the Spider LeNet Predictive System ( SLPS ), for compressive strength, apparent density and water absorption in geopolymer brick manufactured from fly ash, sand, alkali...

... was found to be maximum for 8 Wt.% TiO₂ particles-filled composite. The highest flexural properties were found at a lower TiO₂ fraction of 2 Wt.%. Adding TiO₂ filler helped to reduce the water absorption rate. The studies related to the wear and friction behavior...

.... This paper aims to develop a new class of natural fibre composite in which jute fibre as reinforcement, epoxy as matrix and clam shell, as particulate microsphere filler. The study investigates the effects of different amounts of clam shell powder on the kinetics of water absorption of jute fibre-reinforced...

... of the hybrid composites fabricated by using carbon, untreated and alkaline-treated hemp fibres. Design/methodology/approach The composites were tested for strengths under tensile, flexural, impact and shear loadings, and the water absorption characteristics were also observed. The finite element analysis...
