Composites are highly adaptable and can be made use in various applications. As they are robust, stiffer, lighter than metal and moldable to any shape. They can also be tailored to meet required properties of a particular application. Fiberglass or Glass fiber composites (GFC) are one kind of fiber reinforced composites material with low density,…
A composite is a material engineered from two or more materials with different physical or chemical properties. Composites classification is generally done based on the material used for the matrix. In the field of civil engineering, the classification of composite materials plays a crucial role in understanding their applications and selection for various construction projects….
Euler’s column buckling theory is a fundamental concept in structural engineering that explores the stability and load-bearing capacity of slender columns. Also known as column buckling, refers to the failure of a structural element subjected to high compressive forces. Euler buckling is a fundamental concept in structural engineering, crucial for the design and analysis of slender…
An aircraft is made of several components. Though it takes off and flies as a single flight. Yet it comprises numerous components separable and continuous as a single independent aircraft. Composite structure makes the 787 dreamliner light and strong. It also reduces the cost of components made. Picking up or choosing a material for aircraft…
Composite materials have played a predominant role throughout human lives. From early civilization to enabling future innovations. A composite is a material obtained by amalgamation of two or more distinct materials to achieve a material with enhanced properties compared to the parent materials. These two or more different materials are quite dissimilar in toughness, compression…
Column is a very important structural component that boosts the structural integrity . It transfers the load from the structure to the ground through foundation. The entire stability of structure lies on how perfect the column is designed and constructed. When designing structures, understanding column failure is crucial to ensure the safety and stability of…
