A major review in the Journal of Materials Science argues that process-induced defects in carbon-fibre composites act as interacting perturbation fields whose non-additive effects render conventional ...

A series of sulfides/carbon composites with sulfur vacancies-rich sulfides heterointerfaces are well-designed and developed via a simple one-pot carrageenan-assistant cations-regulated strategy.

Skoltech researchers have created a digital twin of a polymer composite material with a 2D sensor and successfully used it for structural integrity testing. The new technology can be used to ...

Xarion’s laser-excited acoustics (LEA) is a couplant-free nondestructive testing (NDT) method that uses laser principles and an optical microphone without a membrane. In a single-sided “pitch-catch” ...

Researchers from the Skoltech Petroleum Center presented new results that will improve the predictions of stress redistribution used in strength models of composite materials, which will result in ...

A computational study found that a Cosserat-rod digital twin can reproduce key mechanics responses and rapidly rank ...

To begin, could you briefly explain what Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are, and why their visual quality is often tied so closely to structural expectations in end-use applications?

The hidden nature of composite damage poses an unusual challenge for the cycling industry. “A CFRP frame can sustain significant internal damage in the form of delamination, matrix cracking or ply ...
