Epoxy nanocomposites hold immense promise for advanced high-performance applications
in coatings, adhesives, and fiber-reinforced composite matrices. However, their widespread …

Based on the theory of peridynamic differential operator (PDDO), a novel three-dimensional
(3D) peridynamic (PD) model for isotropic and orthotropic material is proposed to investigate …

Polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous networks have gained substantial interest across various
engineering and scientific disciplines, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and …

The study explores the use of nano mica platelets as a filler in silicone matrix for developing
silicone-based coating on porcelains insulators. The protocol for hydrophobic surface …

In solid mechanics, the defects and imperfections of materials (eg, cracks, dislocations, etc.)
play a key role on the overall mechanical behaviour of the structure despite their localized …
