Abstract 3D printing by fused filament fabrication (FFF) provides an innovative manufacturing method for complex geometry components. Since FFF is a layered process, effects of process parameters are concern when plastic materials such as polylactic acid (PLA), polystyrene and nylon used. This study explores how the parameters, e.g. build orientation infill pattern/density, affect mechanical response PLA samples produced using FFF. Digital image correlation (DIC) was employed to get...
Abstract Although the literature is abundant with experimental methods to characterize mechanical behavior of parts made by fused filament fabrication 3D printing, less attention has been paid in using computational models predict properties these parts. In present paper, a numerical homogenization technique developed effect printing process parameters on elastic response printed cellular lattice structures. The development finite element based multi scale approach. Initially, at micro...
Using standard melt-quench technique, transition metal oxide (2 mol% of V2O5) doped glasses having composition xZnO·(30 − x)Li2O·70B2O3 (x = 0, 2, 5, 7 and 10) are prepared.

Abstract Glass fibre reinforced polymer composites are frequently used in marine applications where the combined effects of cyclic loads and seawater environment limit their fatigue life. This paper aims to demonstrate degradation that causes stiffness composites. Three-point bending properties cross-ply woven glass commonly manufacture tidal turbine blades reported for both wet dry conditions. Failure analysis based on Digital Image Correlation method was performed identify damaged zones...
Designing highly stressed offshore renewable energy composite structures (e.g. wind and tidal turbine blades) necessitates characterisation of woven fabric under off axial loading. In this work a combined method finite element analysis, digital image correlation microscopy is used to assess the effect ply orientation on tensile/shear properties failure modes glass fibre reinforced polymer composites. Full field strain maps obtained by were evaluate damage development inhomogeneity...
Extensive use of carbon-based materials has revolutionised the number modern scientific areas such as transportation, electronic, material chemistry and electrochemical energy storage, mainly due to their outstanding characteristics excellent conductivity, mechanical strength, ease availability cost-effectiveness. However, it is difficult fine-tune physiochemical naturally occurring carbonaceous according desired applications. High purity carbon aerogels with control over porous structure...
Abstract Background Fatigue failure criteria for fibre reinforced polymer composites used in the design of marine structures are based on micromechanical behaviour (e.g. stiffness properties) their constituents. In literature, there is a lack information regarding degradation fibres, matrix and fibre/matrix interface regions affected by environmental fatigue. Objective The aim present study to characterize properties composite constituents using nanoindentation technique when fatigue due...
Identifying an unascertained timber species is essential to stop illegal logging of the protected species. Timber forensics involves identification unknown link its source or authenticate and products.
