Article Abstract

In this study, Al-BC/Al laminated composites with high interlayer bonding strength were fabricated by integrated hot-pressed sintering accompanied with hot rolling. The mechanical properties and interface behavior of the Al-BC/Al laminated composites were investigated under quasi-static and impact loading. The results show that the Al-BC/Al laminated composites obtain a high interface bonding strength, because no interlayer delamination occurs even after fractures under quasi-static and impact loads. The Al-BC/Al laminated composites exhibit a better comprehensive mechanical performance, and the fracture can be delayed due to the high bonding strength interface. Moreover, laminated composites can absorb more impact energy than the monolithic material under impact loading due to the stress transition and relaxation.

We report the performance of solid-state ceramic supercapacitors (SSCs) based on a novel composite electrolyte comprising aluminum-doped lithium lanthanum titanate perovskite, LiLaTiAlO (Al-doped LLTO), and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIM BF). Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction data confirms the preservation of the tetragonal perovskite phase after Al substitution, indicating structural stability of the host lattice. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy further corroborate the successful incorporation of Al without forming secondary phases.

This study provides valuable guidance for simplifying fabrication procedures and enhancing the structural integrity and safety of carbon fiber (CF) laminate transfemoral (TF) prosthetic sockets. While the high specific strength of CF laminate sockets offers advantages over conventional plastics, essential production data-their orientation-dependent strength and optimal cure conditions-are lacking, often requiring complex, costly cure cycles. This study investigated (i) the influence of fiber orientation on TF prosthetic CF socket strength via finite element analysis (FEA) during standing, and (ii) optimal single-step Vacuum-Bag-Only (VBO) cure conditions for prepreg in a low-cost conventional oven.

Piezoelectric (0-3) composites typically consist of a polymer matrix that contains piezoceramic particles. They can be used as sensors for structural health monitoring due to their lower acoustic impedance and ability to detect high-frequency waves. These composites have two thin electrodes on their surfaces, and cable connections that require electrical insulation.

Lightweight composite structures like fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are widely used to manufacture aircraft structures and substitute metallic parts. While the superior mechanical performance of FMLs, including their high specific strength and excellent impact and fatigue resistance, has gained the interest of many researchers in the aerospace manufacturing industry, there are still some challenges that need to be considered. Conventional approaches like lay-up techniques and autoclave molding can achieve the relatively simple FML parts with large radii and profiles required for aircraft fuselages and flat skins.

Most numerical studies on carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) lightning damages fail to account for delamination, a factor that plays a significant role in the subsequent analysis of residual strength. This study establishes an electro-thermo-mechanical coupled numerical model incorporating delamination effects to predict lightning-induced damage in carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. Subsequently, parametric investigations evaluate the influence of varying input loads and stacking sequences on interlaminar pyrolysis and delamination damage, with damage assessment quantitatively conducted based on simulated post-strike uniaxial ultimate compressive loads.
