Composite decking—an amalgam of ground-up wood and plastic formed into planks—doesn’t ever need to be sealed, stained, or painted. Real wood may need to be restained as frequently as every ...

A UB engineer has made the first observation of semiconducting behavior in a carbon composite material, a finding that could revolutionize the fields of "smart" structures and electronics. The ...

The numerical computing environment MATLAB will be used for matrix manipulation throughout the course. Composite materials are materials comprising two or more material phases with different physical ...

Composites are prone to damage by low velocity impacts that can cause hard to detect, barely visible impact damage (BVID).
