Cork, a natural material from renewable resources, is currently attracting increasing interest
in different industrial fields because of its cellular structure and the presence of the flexible …

Cork granules (Quercus suber L.) were slowly pyrolyzed at temperatures between 400-700°
C and under N2 flow. While preserving its structure, some cells of the cork biochar became …

Considering the major role played by sandwich structures in many fields where high
stiffness-to-weight ratio is required, the selection of a suitable core material is of paramount …

Mechanical testing by sporting governing bodies ensures artificial turf surfaces conform with
performance standards. Rotational traction is measured using two equivalent devices: a …

This manuscript explores the effect of viscoelasticity on static bifurcations: such as pitchfork,
saddle-node, and transcritical bifurcations, of a single-degree-of-freedom mechanical …

A bio-sourced foam, agglomerated cork, was chosen to evaluate the influence of short fibres
on the mechanical behaviour of cellular materials. The final material was obtained by mixing …

In the present work, a physically-based finite element model simulating the compression
moulding process of cork-based agglomerates is presented. The goal is the prediction of the …

Résumé Une mousse bio-sourcée, le liège aggloméré, a été choisie pour évaluer l'influence
des fibres courtes sur le comportement mécanique des matériaux cellulaires. Pour obtenir le …

Le liège est un matériau polymère biosourcé multi-phasé [1, 2]. Dans ce cas d'étude, il a été
aggloméré avec une résine thermodurcissable par un procédé de compression uni-axiale …
