Researchers from the Mechanics of Composites for Energy and Mobility Laboratory (MCEM) at King Abdullah University of Science ...

JEC Composites met Marino Quaresimin, professor of machine design at the University of Padova. The professor studies polymeric composites, with a particular focus on the structural response and the ...

Composite materials are materials comprising two or more material phases with different physical properties. Because they usually exhibit remarkable physical properties, in general superior to the ...

During the 1970s, fracture toughness testing of composite materials developed a very poor reputation, primarily due to failed attempts to directly adopt metals theory and corresponding test methods.

Figure 1 illustrates our autonomic healing concept. Healing is accomplished by incorporating a microencapsulated healing agent and a catalytic chemical trigger within an epoxy matrix. An approaching ...

The spacecraft of the future will be lighter, sleeker, faster and stronger. NASA is already looking to composite materials to create these ultramodern spacecraft. Composite materials, typically a ...
