Insight into single-fiber push-out test of tungsten fiber-reinforced tungsten

An Investigation into the Deep Drawing of Fiber-Metal Laminates based on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...

Refinement of the T466 Prototype Tungsten/Scintillating Fiber Electromagnetic Calorimeter

In April 2003, UCLA researchers conducted test run T466 at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center with their newly designed electromagnetic calorimeter towers composed of tungsten powder and scintillating fibers. The prototype’s energy resolution, uniformity of response, and linearity were measured using an electron beam with a momentum of up to 10 GeV. The measured energy resolution was 17%/ √...

Effect of different adhesion strategies on push-out bond strength of fiber reinforced composite posts

The aim of this study was to compare the bond strength of translucent fiber posts to root dentin, cemented with 4 adhesion strategies. Forty eight (48) sound human central incisors were decoronated and divided into 4 groups: Etch-and-rinse group, two-step self-etch group, one-step self-etch group, and self-adhesive resin cement group. The adhesion between the post and root canal walls was asses...

Fiber-integrated tungsten disulfide saturable absorber (mirror) for pulsed fiber lasers

We propose two schemes for achieving tungsten disulfide (WS2)-based saturable absorber (SA) and saturable absorber mirror (SAM). By utilizing the pulsed laser deposition method, we grow theWS2 film on microfiber to form an evanescent field interaction SA device. Incorporating this SA device into a common ring-cavity erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser, stably passive mode-locking can be achieved wit...
