Natural Fibre Composites and Their Applications: A Review

Paulo Peças, Hugo Carvalho, Hafiz Salman et al. · 17 Nov 2018

There is significant work published in recent years about natural fibres polymeric composites. Most of the studies are about the characterization of natural fibres and their comparison with conventional composites regarding mechanical behaviour and application performance. There are dozens of types of natural fibres with different properties influencing their use, or not, in specific industrial…

Composite Material Recycling Technology—State-of-the-Art and Sustainable Development for the 2020s

Andrey E. Krauklis, Christian W. Karl, Abedin I. Gagani et al. · 15 Jan 2021

Recently, significant events took place that added immensely to the sociotechnical pressure for developing sustainable composite recycling solutions, namely (1) a ban on composite landfilling in Germany in 2009, (2) the first major wave of composite wind turbines reaching their End-of-Life (EoL) and being decommissioned in 2019–2020, (3) the acceleration of aircraft decommissioning due to…

Structural Health Monitoring for Advanced Composite Structures: A Review

Alfredo Güemes, Antonio Fernández-López, Ángel Renato Pozo et al. · 27 Jan 2020

Condition-based maintenance refers to the installation of permanent sensors on a structure/system. By means of early fault detection, severe damage can be avoided, allowing efficient timing of maintenance works and avoiding unnecessary inspections at the same time. These are the goals for structural health monitoring (SHM). The changes caused by incipient damage on raw data…

Recycling Waste Tires into Ground Tire Rubber (GTR)/Rubber Compounds: A Review

Ali Fazli, Denis Rodrigue · 31 Jul 2020

Recycling and recovery of waste tires is a serious environmental problem since vulcanized rubbers require several years to degrade naturally and remain for long periods of time in the environment. This is associated to a complex three dimensional (3D) crosslinked structure and the presence of a high number of different additives inside a tire formulation.…

Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials

Fasikaw Kibrete, Tomasz Trzepieciński, Hailu Shimels Gebremedhen et al. · 1 Sep 2023

The determination of mechanical properties plays a crucial role in utilizing composite materials across multiple engineering disciplines. Recently, there has been substantial interest in employing artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning and deep learning, to accurately predict the mechanical properties of composite materials. This comprehensive review paper examines the applications of artificial intelligence in forecasting the…
