    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.3, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011371

    Abstract Additive manufacturing of continuous fiber composites is an emerging field that enables the tunable mechanical performance of composite structure by flexibly controlling the spatial layout of continuous fibers. Transverse isotropic strengthening is advantageous property of continuous fiber, which is favorable to align with the principal stress orientation. However, the accuracy and efficiency of traditional methods for calculating principal stress field are unguaranteed due to the inherent complexity and variability of geometries, material properties, and operational conditions in additive manufacturing. Therefore, a machine learning-assisted path planning method is proposed to robustly and efficiently generate the continuous… More >

    Concurrent Design of Composite Structure and Continuous Toolpath for Additive Manufacturing of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

    Huilin Ren1,2, David W. Rosen2, Yi Xiong1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.30, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.010920

    Abstract The advancement of continuous fiber-reinforced polymer additive manufacturing (CFRP-AM) enables the fabrication of structures with complex geometries and superior properties. However, current design methodologies consider toolpath design and structure optimization as separate stages, with toolpath design typically serving as a post-processing step after structure optimization. This sequential methodology limits the full exploitation of fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) capabilities, particularly in achieving optimal structural integrity and manufacturability. In this paper, a manufacturing-oriented method is proposed for designing continuous FRPC structures, in which the structural layout and continuous fiber toolpaths are simultaneously optimized. The integrated design… More >

    Chentong Zhao1, Jiming Zhou1,2,*, Xujiang Chao1,3, Su Wang1, Lehua Qi1,2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.141, No.3, pp. 2453-2469, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.052723 - 31 October 2024

    Abstract The mechanical properties of graphene reinforced composites are often hampered by challenges related to the dispersion and aggregation of graphene within the matrix. This paper explores the mechanism of cooling rate, process temperature, and process pressure’s influence on the agglomeration behavior of graphene and the tensile response of composites from a computer simulation technology, namely molecular dynamics. Our findings reveal that the cooling rate exerts minimal influence on the tensile response of composites. Conversely, processing temperature significantly affects the degree of graphene aggregation, with higher temperatures leading to the formation of larger-sized graphene clusters. In More >

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.10, pp. 1715-1728, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.054076 - 23 October 2024

    Abstract Sugarcane bagasse is an agro-waste that could replace timber resources for the production of bio-composites. Composite boards such as particleboard offer an issue for the use and recycling of poor quality timber, and these engineered products can overcome some solid wood limitations such as heterogeneity and dimension. Bagasse offers an alternative to wood chips for particleboard production but present some disadvantages as well, such as poor physico-mechanical properties. To address these issues, bagasse fibers were treated with an innovative natural resin formulated with tannin and furfural. Impregnated particles with different concentrations of resin (5%, 10%,… More > Graphic Abstract

    Abstract Quasicrystals (QCs) are a new class of functional and structural materials with unusual properties, which have quasi-periodic translational symmetry and non-crystallographic rotational symmetry. Due to the special arrangement of atoms, compared with traditional materials, QCs have high strength, high hardness, and high wear resistance, and can be used as a particle reinforcement phase of polymer or metal matrix composites to improve the performance of materials. QC composites are a special type of composites in which the high strength and hardness of QCs can effectively enhance the mechanical properties of the composites while maintaining the lightweight… More >

    An Energy-Based Local-Nonlocal Coupling Scheme for Heterogeneous Material Brittle Fractures: Analysis and Simulations

    Shaoqi Zheng1, Zihao Yang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.012200

    Abstract This study proposes a novel method for predicting the microcrack propagation in composites based on coupling the local and non-local micromechanics. The special feature of this method is that it can take full advantages of both the continuum micromechanics as a local model and peridynamic micromechanics as a non-local model to achieve composite fracture simulation with a higher level of accuracy and efficiency. Based on the energy equivalence, we first establish the equivalent continuum micromechanics model with equivalent stiffness operators through peridynamic micromechanics model. These two models are then coupled into a closed equation system, More >

    Zefu Li1, Weidong Yang1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011671

    Abstract For composite materials incorporating porous structures with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), the effects of pores and MWCNT agglomeration significantly impact electrical conductivity. Theoretical modeling of the piezoresistive behavior is crucial for understanding the electromechanical response of porous MWCNT/polymer nanocomposites. Currently, there is limited theoretical modeling that considers the combined effects of porosity and MWCNT agglomeration on the electrical conductivity and piezoresistive performance of porous MWCNT/polymer composites. Addressing this gap, this paper presents a multiscale modeling approach for the strain-dependent piezoresistive behavior of porous MWCNT/polymer nanocomposites. The model considers the influence of porosity and MWCNT agglomeration, More >
