The use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the rehabilitation of buildings or other infrastructure is increasingly becoming an effective and popular solution, being able to …
A point of major concern in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is the interface between the carbon fibers (CFs) and the polymer matrix, which acts as the weakest …
In this work, the effect of graphite nanoparticles on the thermal, mechanical, physical, and fatigue properties of woven bamboo fiber hybrid composites was investigated. Different …

In this work, an impregnated carbon fiber-carbon nanotubes (CF-CNTs) hybrid fiber mat with excellent ability to enhance mechanical property was fabricated via combining …
Externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been in use in civil infrastructure for decades, but their long-term performance is still difficult to predict due to …
Poly (ether ether ketone)(PEEK), with its superb mechanical properties, excellent chemical resistance and high thermo-oxidative stability is one of the most important engineering …
The use of flexible dental posts concentrates the stress at the dentin and the use of stiff posts increases the stress at the interface. Efforts were directed toward introducing …
Most of transmission line (TL) towers are designed and fabricated in the form of lattice using galvanized steel. The crossarm of the TL is made of Neobalanocarpus or Chengal wood …
Cross arms in transmission tower are made up of Chengal wood, which degrade and collapse after a long period of service. This is due to creep deformation, and the rate of …
