Experimental Exploration of Crack and Damage Dynamics of Hybrid FRP Nano Composites
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become essential materials in modern engineering structures because of their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and adaptability in design. Among different fracture modes, Mode I interlaminar fracture where cracks propagate under tensile opening stresses is one of the most critical forms of damage in layered composites. Since delamination occurs within the matrix-rich regions between plies, improving the matrix properties plays a key role in enhancing …

Machine Learning-Driven Polymer Composite Smart Skin for Integrated Sensing in Soft Robotic Systems
Abstract: Soft robotics has grown rapidly, but its progress is still constrained by the limitations of current sensing skins. Most polymer-based sensors provide either flexibility or sensitivity, yet they struggle to deliver real-time communication and adaptive intelligence when deployed in complex robotic environments. This disconnect between material performance and system-level responsiveness forms a critical bottleneck for practical deployment. Existing approaches often treat tactile sensing and wireless communication as separate problems. As …

Analyzing Thermal Expansion in Polymer Composites Through Heat Transfer Simulations
Abstract: Although lightweight and strong, polymer composites require careful handling in environments where temperatures shift. Their usefulness in fields like aviation, vehicle manufacturing, and electronic devices comes from customizable heat behavior alongside favorable mechanical traits. Yet variation in size due to heating or cooling remains a concern hard to dismiss. As conditions change, expansion occurs - sometimes enough to disrupt fit, alignment, or function within complex systems. This response to warmth …
