Damage Evolution and Delamination Resistance in Polymer Matrix Functionally Graded Laminates
Abstract: Functionally graded laminates (FGLs) in polymer-matrix systems represent a promising pathway to enhance damage tolerance and delay delamination in advanced structural composites. In this study, we explore the mechanisms of damage initiation, propagation, and delamination resistance in polymer matrix functionally graded laminates (PM-FGLs) through a combined experimental–computational approach. Laminates with linear, exponential, and bio-inspired gradation profiles were fabricated using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and additive manufacturing techniques. Comprehensive mechanical …

Stress Perception among School-age Children
Abstract: Introduction: Prosody is the inflection embedded in speech. The perception of prosody is necessary to understand a spoken utterance, especially to appreciate the intricacies of languages. The influence of prosody is also beyond the boundaries of a sentence and provides speech its emotional tone. Prosody or the supra-segmental is made of stress (accent), intonation (pitch patterns) and the rhythmic (timing) pattern of language. Acoustically, it is described in terms of …
