Compressive Instabilities In Metal-Coated Polymer Microtrusses
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Lightweight structures directly contribute to the sustainability of aviation, as their use reduces the structural weight of aircraft which in turn reduces fuel burned during flight. One family of lightweight structures are ...
The Effect Of High Strain Rate On The Piezo-Resistance Of Polydimethylsiloxane With Carbon Nanotubes
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
This paper describes the piezoresistive properties of a nanocomposite made of polydimethylsiloxane and multi- walled carbon nanotubes that is subjected to high strain rate. We highlight the production process of the ...
Inclusion Of Aerodynamic Effects In Multibody Dynamics
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The Equations of Motion (EoM) software, developed by University of Windsor Vehicle Dynamics and Control Research Group, can be used to generate linear or linearized equations of motion for mechanical systems, and is ...
Gradient Elasticity Modelling For The Analysis Of Fiber Composites With Fiber Resistant To Flexure
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
A model for the deformation of an elastic solid reinforced by embedded fibers is presented in which elastic resistance of the fibers to bending is incorporated. We developed the equilibrium equations and necessary boundary ...
3D Numerical Study Of Hill Mounted VAWT
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The ground topography effect on the wind flow is significant. The knowledge of the flow behavior near ground is crucial in the development of wind power, especially in the choice of suitable sites and for estimation of ...
Investigation into the Influence of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Process Parameters on the Thermal Properties of 3D-Printed Parts
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The mechanical properties of 3D-printed parts have been extensively studied and the effects of printing parameters on them have been investigated. However, there are limited reliable data for the thermal properties of the ...
Strategies For Improving Electrospinability Of Polysulfone
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The overall objective of this study is the fabrication of defect-free electrospun mats of polysulfone (PSU) for applications as a porous support for proton exchange membranes. Electrospinning of PSU from dimethylformamide ...

Effects Of Unit-Cell Boundary Type On The Electromechanical Properties Of Randomly Distributed Multifunctional Composite Structures
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The unit-cell composition of three-dimensional finite element models for 3-0 and 3-1 type polymer (PVDF) - ceramic (BaTiO3) and ceramic (PZT-7A) - ceramic (BaTiO3) structures are compared to determine the effects of fiber ...
Effect Of The Interlacing Pattern On The Compaction Behaviour Of 3D Carbon Fibre Textile Reinforcements
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
3D reinforcements were introduced to mitigate and overcome limitations arising from the use of traditional textile reinforcements in the construction of polymer matrix composites (PMC), in terms of their resistance to ...
