Abstract:Recently, the search of new materials with improved performance, such as higher strength, lower weight, fire resistance, less sensitive to fatigue,... has been fostered and driven by industries such as aerospace, energy, and nuclear. The development of composite materials has been an important step to achieve these goals since it allows the combination of different materials in order to improve the overall performance of the resulting composite. Composites, such as layered woven composites or mixtures, are alr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
