Download or read book Recent Advances in Nano Tailored Multi Functional Cementitious Composites written by Mustafa Şahmaran and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years, concrete technology has advanced quite dramatically thanks to the use of a great variety of additives and admixtures, which have paved the way for the effective development of new-generation concrete mixtures. Among these additives and admixtures, nanomaterials used in construction materials such as paste, mortar, and concrete mixtures have become very popular recently. Much of the previous attention in regard to the utilization of nanomaterials in construction materials was specifically devoted to the characterization of their fresh-state, hydration, microstructure, pore structure, mechanical, transport, and durability properties. However, research into the tailoring of multi-functional properties of construction materials (especially cementitious) with the use of nanomaterials is still in its infancy. Recent Advances in Nano-Tailored Multi-Functional Cementitious Composites aims to capture recent major scientific advances and the current state of the art in multi-functional cementitious composites developed with nanomaterials. The book will provide researchers, engineers, and other stakeholders with an insight into future directions of multi-functional capabilities of cementitious composites. Chapters focus on the large-scale development, characterization, and application of multi-functional cementitious composites addressing the following topics: nano-modified concrete; strain-hardening cementitious composites; self-sensing concrete; self-healing and bacteria-based concrete; self-cleaning concrete; self-consolidating concrete; material/construction technology for 3D printing; thermal insulation capability; green concretes including geopolymer concrete; nanoscale characterization methods; low CO2 reactive magnesia cements; and future developments and challenges of nano-tailored cementitious composites. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and civil engineers working on the development and application of nano-tailored multi-functional cementitious composites. - Provides very comprehensive and unique details about multi-functional properties of cementitious composites - Presents a detailed account of investigations conducted into the application of nanomaterials and nanoscale tailoring to achieve multi-functional properties for cementitious composites - Features state-of-the-art preparation, production, processing, and implementation techniques of nanoscale tailoring of multi-functional cementitious composites starting from laboratory to large scale

Book excerpt: Composite materials have aroused a great interest over the last few decades, as proven by the huge number of scientific papers and industrial progress. The increase in the use of composite structures in different engineering practices justify the present international meeting where researches from every part of the globe can share and discuss the recent advancements regarding the use of structural components within advanced applications such as buckling, vibrations, repair, reinforcements, concrete, composite laminated materials and more recent metamaterials. Studies about composite structures are truly multidisciplinary and the given contributions can help other researches and professional engineers in their own field. This Conference is suitable as a reference for engineers and scientists working in the professional field, in the industry and the academia and it gives the possibility to share recent advancements in different engineering practices to the outside world. This book aims to collect selected plenary and key-note lectures of this International Conference. For this reason, the establishment of this 20th edition of International Conference on Composite Structures has appeared appropriate to continue what has been begun during the previous editions. ICCS wants to be an occasion for many researchers from each part of the globe to meet and discuss about the recent advancements regarding the use of composite structures, sandwich panels, nanotechnology, bio-composites, delamination and fracture, experimental methods, manufacturing and other countless topics that have filled many sessions during this conference.

Download or read book Composite Structures written by J.N. Reddy and published by Springer. This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of composite materials has increased steadily durlog the past two decades, particularly in aerospace, underwater and autornative structures. This is largely because many composite materials exhibit high strength-to-weight and stiffness to-weight ratios, which make them ideally suited for use in weight-sensitive structures. In addition, many of these materials are more corrosion resistant and more thermally stable than metals. The many advantages of composite materials will play an even larger role in future generations of military and transportation vehicles, as weil as in recreational, athletic, and medical equipment, and numerous other applications. To take advantage of the full potential of composite materials, structural engineers and designers must have extremely accurate tools of testing, analysis and design methods at their disposal. The testing and analysis of composite materials is complicated because of: the anisotropic structural behavior resulting from complicated constituent interactions, and . many special requirements of composite structures that are either not present in their metallic Counterparts or only characteristic of composite materials (e.g., delaminations, terminating plies, matrix cracks, fiber buclding and breakage, and many other local mechanisms). In the last decade there have been many significant contributions made by chemists, material scientists, and mathematicians toward the development of better material systems, test and evaluation methods, kinematic and constitutive models, and analysis methods. It is essential to periodically synthesize all developments and identify trends and future directions in research and industrial applications of composite materials.

Download or read book Design of Structures in Composite Materials Basic Data and Interdisciplinary Action written by I. C. Taig and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two papers that are contained in this Report were given as pilot papers in October 1975 before the new group within the Structures and Materials Panel dealing with Composite Materials. The first of these papers points out and defines the three levels of materials data (Acceptance data, Materials Characterization data and Design data) that the author believes are needed to establish a design and manufacturing process that will allow the safe and efficient use of composite materials in aircraft. The paper points out some of the gaps between characterization and design, and it proposes some types of testing and data that may fill these gaps. It proposes that the present burdensome requirement that every primary composite component have its own development program can be eliminated if components are built in standardized ways from a finite family of layups and using previously developed structural elements. The second paper points out the vastly increased significance of the design engineering/materials engineering interface in the development of advanced composite structures. To achieve a smooth-working design/materials interface, the paper suggests long-term emphasis in three specific areas: education (on the industrial level and also back to the colleges and universities); interdisciplinary development of advanced composites; and development of composites test standards.
