Purely static loading is rarely observed in modern engineering components or structures. By far, the majority of structures involve parts subjected to fluctuating or cyclic loads, often resulting in ...

The replacement of well-characterized thermoset matrix composites with thermoplastic composites is being driven by the increasing need for recyclability, as well as the potential for much faster cycle ...

Engineers have demonstrated improvements in the fatigue life of high strength aluminum alloys by 25 times -- a significant outcome for the transport manufacturing industry. A world-first study by ...
