In this study, discrepancies between the free vibration of fiber-metal laminate (FML) and composite cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Love’s first approximation shell theory have been considered by beam modal function model. The representative volume elements consist of three and four phases for composite and FML structures, respectively, which include fiber, CNT...

This paper introduces a simple fiber/tape composite that is easy to prepare and structurally more uniform. This novel composite provides a good alternative standard composite sample for experimental study of various phenomena and issues in fiber reinforced composite behaviors. Experimental results in the present work demonstrate how the fiber fragmentation, fiber-reinforcing effect and the gaug...

introduction: post and core has been considered for endodontically treated tooth, especially in cases with severe damage crowns. recently fiber reinforced composite posts (frc post) have been used in the treatment of endodontically treated teeth. because the length and diameter of posts are effective in stress distribution, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of length and diame...

background and aims. the aim was to evaluate the effect of three methods of fiber insertion on fracture resistance of root-filled maxillary premolars in vitro. materials and methods. sixty extracted human maxillary premolars received endodontic treatment followed by preparation of mesioocclusodistal (mod) cavities, with gingival cavosurface margin 1.5 mm coronal to the cementoenamel junction (c...

in the present study, modelling and vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are investigated. the governing equations of the carbon nanotubes/ fiber/ polymer composite microplates are derived based on first order shear deformation plate theory, rather than other plate theories, due to accuracy and simplicity of polynomial functions. the modified couple stres...

Objective: Introduction of fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) greatly enhanced the restoration of fractured anterior teeth. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations of variable thicknesses. Methods: Forty extracted sound human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups of 10. Incisal reduction wa...

This paper reports for the first time a planarised optical fiber composite formed using Flame Hydrolysis Deposition (FHD). As a way of format demonstration a Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical (MOEMS) hot wire anemometer is formed using micro-fabrication processing. The planarised device is rigidly secured to a silicon wafer using optical quality doped silica that has been deposited using flame hydr...
