A newly published study in Engineering reveals a novel approach to the performance assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) ...

The diagram (a) shows a 'uniaxial fiber-reinforced' composite material, and (b) shows how the stress on the composite is carried by the fibers and the matrix. In normal situations, the fiber has a ...

The course will be self-contained but will rely on descriptions of the mechanics of deformable solids (MECH_ENG 327, MECH_ENG 362, or equivalent). The numerical computing environment MATLAB will be ...

Japan-based Teijin Limited has announced that it has established mass production technologies for carbon fiber reinforced plastic ... fuel-saving carbon fiber composite in mass-produced vehicles.
