A Study on Machine-Learning-Driven Insight into theThermal Behavior of Polymers and Composite Materials
Abstract: The thermal performance of polymeric and composite systems underpins their suitability for aerospace, electronics, and energy‑storage applications, yet reliable prediction of temperature‑dependent properties remains a formidable challenge. In this work we present a data‑driven framework that harnesses modern machine‑learning (ML) techniques to forecast key thermal metrics – glass‑transition temperature (Tg), melting point (Tm), thermal conductivity (k), and decomposition onset (Td) – from a chemically informed descriptor space. A curated database …

Fabrication of a Cost-Effective Bulletproof Vest Made of Composite Materials
Abstract: Bulletproof vests have evolved significantly, with composite materials like felt, M Sand, and silicone rubber sealant ushering in a new era of personal protection. These unconventional composites offer a unique blend of ballistic resistance, cost-efficiency, and wearer comfort. Felt, a pliable material, adds a layer of protection by effectively absorbing and dissipating kinetic energy from projectile impacts. Its flexibility enhances wearer comfort, setting it apart from traditional materials’ Sand, a …

The new method of composite materials production
Abstract: The existing methods for production, for example, polymer composite materials: the pressing (direct, injection, profile), the injection molding (injection, intrusion, centrifugal molding, and autoclaving), the extrusion, the pultrusion, the contact molding, the winding, vacuum molding and pneumatic molding do not permit to reach the main goal of the production of unique composite materials with a basis (matrix) filled by uniformly distributed filler (armoured element), having high strength and rigidity. The …

FE Modelling and Analysis of Mixed Mode Delamination in Composite Laminates
Abstract: A composite is a structural material that consists of two or more constituents combined at a macroscopic level and not soluble in each other. The advantages of composites over conventional materials are its light weight, high strength, design flexibility, dimensional stability, etc. Although Composite materials are advantageous than conventional materials, there are some defects in composite materials too, which are Fibre-matrix debonding, fibre misalignment, Delamination, Matrix cracking, Impact damage, etc. …

Fatigue Stress Analysis of Composite Material Leaf Spring
Abstract: The finite element (FE) modeling and analysis of a multi-leaf spring has been carried out. It includes two full-length leaves in which one is with eyed ends and seven graduated length leaves. Different types of material have been chosen like steel, aluminum, carbon epoxy and glass epoxy. The model of the leaf spring has been generated in Pro/e5.0 and imported in ANSYS-12 for FE analysis, which are the most popular …

Applications of Composite Materials in Aerospace Industry
Abstract: Composites are becoming increasingly important in the aerospace industry. At least 30–40 per cent of modern airframes are now made of composites, and this percentage is increasing rapidly due to technological advances in the field. Fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials are fast gaining ground as preferred materials for construction of aircrafts and space crafts. This paper gives a review of some of these developments with a discussion of the problems with …

Production of Nitric Acid and its Stimulation
Abstract: Nitric acid has been known and regarded for quite a while. Most nitric acid is utilized as a part of making ammonium nitrate. Its immediate applications incorporate photoengraving, metal pickling and passivation and the separating substance of gold and silver. Here the Oswald procedure is utilized to create nitric acid. This procedure is mimicked utilizing HYSYS recreation programming. The reason for this reproduction was to watch the thermodynamic properties of …
