“We aligned our strategic plan last year to assure composite repair capabilities on platforms where there were immediate needs. Specifically, we focused on the regional aircraft market, due to the amount of demand that we see,” said Malissa Nesmith, Senior Director of Business Development. “Kaman has historically performed most of…

A smart cement mixture that can store electrical energy and discharge it on demand could convert buildings, bridges, curb stones and even street lamps into batteries.

An experimental investigation was carried out on a novel type of concrete-filled tube column, which used geopolymer concrete and basalt-fibre-reinforced-polymer reinforcing bars and confinement tube. Geopolymer concrete was used in place of ordinary Portland cement concrete to counter the sustainability challenges of conventional cement manufacture. Longitudinal basalt-fibre-reinforced-polymer bars were used to replace steel reinforcement to avoid corrosion, while basalt-fibre-reinforced-polymer...

A new study from Swansea University has introduced a framework to calculate the material properties of a new class of two-dimensional curved hexagonal lattices that could be used in the production of improved mechanical metamaterials found in bio-engineering, stretchable electronics, impact absorption and soft robots.

Abstract This paper presents the development of an innovative standing support for underground mines. The main feature of this standing support is its exterior container, a combination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with large rupture strain and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) with high strength-to-weight ratio. To demonstrate the advantages of this cementitious grout filled PVC-FRP tubular (PFT) standing support, a series of compression tests were conducted. Test variables included the strength of...

b Maffeis Engineering S.p.A, Italy Double Glazed Units (DGUs) consist of two glass panes held together by structural edge seals. Calculation methods for DGUs consider that actions applied on one pane develop effects in all the panes, due to the coupling from the entrapped gas. Various methods have been proposed in standards to evaluate this load sharing, which depends upon the stiffness of the glass panes, the thicknesses of spacer and the size of the DGU. A comprehensive analytical formulation...
