Experimental evaluation of bamboo fiber/particulate coconut shell hybrid PVC composite

Adeolu A. Adediran et al.

Summary: The study involved incorporating bamboo fibers and particulate coconut shell into a PVC matrix to improve the mechanical properties of the composite material, resulting in enhanced strength and durability. However, thermal and electrical properties decreased with decreasing fiber content. An increase in hardness and wear loss index was observed with the intermix of coconut shell and bamboo fibers.

Combined Damage Influence Prediction of Curved Composite Structural Responses Using VCCT Technique and Experimental Verification

Vikash Kumar et al.

Summary: The influences of crack and delamination on a laminated doubly curved shell structure were computed using a finite element tool, modeling individual damages with the virtual crack closure technique and considering curvature effects. Model validity was established through comparison with available results and in-house experimentation, examining the effects of damages on natural frequency and strain energy release rate by varying input geometrical parameters. The model's inclusive characteristics and geometric configurations were summarized for future reference.
