Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...

The objective of this paper is to discuss the process, from design conception through analytical simulation to experimental test, of the development of a composite cross car beam for a passenger ...

The idea of strengthening a steel beam with carbon fiber is not new. Approaches have ranged from coating corroded steel i-beams with carbon fiber and epoxy to a patent by Boeing where carbon fiber ...

Findings indicate that U-shaped ECC in hybrid reinforced concrete beams improves structural behavior, offering long-term ...

LANCASTER — Super-heated steel has a smell, an distinct mixture of sweat, carbon, iron, oil and heat. It rolls off the metal and permeates the air. The scent isn't offensive, but rather harkens to ...

Among its many notable innovations, the new 2020 Chevrolet Corvette sports car from General Motors Co. features the world’s first radius pultruded auto part. The vehicle’s rear bumper beam (shown ...
