The analysis of the failure mode is of utmost importance to promote a greener transportation system with lighter and more damage-tolerant composite structures. Thanks to their improved recyclability and higher Read more…
Background Accurate permeability data is key to high-fidelity resin flow simulations for composites manufacturing with liquid moulding, yet remains an unsolved challenge due to variabilities at different length scales, for Read more…
Hydraulic Fracture mechanics is widely studied in the laboratory. However, fewer studies combine image analysis to properly quantify the fracture properties and the factors that influences them as well as Read more…
Background Natural materials can feature exceptionally well-ordered and complex composite microstructures that may out-perform the sum of their individual components. For example, mollusc shells contain a thin layer of nacre Read more…
Prepared with nanoclays-polymer coatings, flexible polyurethane foam composites show improved energy absorption and damping properties for high-end applications, like aerospace, automotive and building. With this project at NXCT, the aim Read more…
The “Elgin reptiles” are a historic collection of fossils from Northeast Scotland famed for their unusual preservation as “negatives”; moulds of bones and skeletons left in sandstone with little of Read more…
