Auxetic foams counter-intuitively expand (shrink) under stretching (compression). These
foams can exhibit superior mechanical properties such as resistance to shear and …

The constitutive model of corn has an intense influence on the mechanical structure design
and machine performance. In this paper, a creep property formula of corn-based on the …

The combination of an auxetic structure featuring a negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and
viscoelastic materials with superior damping behavior and energy absorption introduces a …

Spray polyurea (SPUA) is widely used as a protective coating material for structures
subjected to the intensive impulsive loadings, attributed to its prominent large tensile …

Cement-based grouting materials have high compressive strengths, but they are brittle. The
low strain burden limits their rehabilitation application in the high compressive strain …

Nitrate ester plasticized polyether (NEPE) solid propellant was widely used in carrier rocket
and guided missiles, owing to its excellent mechanical properties, high specific impulse and …

We present here a simplified procedure to manufacture auxetic PU foam via a single
direction thermoforming compression process applied to conventional (pristine) open cell …

The impact response of aramid Twaron CT709 fabrics thinly coated with a commercially
available spray-on rubber material has been studied for the first time. Both neat and rubber …

Elastomeric materials are widely used in different industries due to their excellent capability
to withstand different loading types. There are significant challenges to the efficient design of …

Experimental investigation was conducted using concrete specimens to assess the
effectiveness of bio-based polyurethane (PU) coating synthesized from palm kernel oil in …
