Response of Sea Water Immersed GFRP Composite to Thermal Shock
Abstract: The work involves examining the effects of sea water immersion and temperature fluctuations, precisely that of up and down thermal shocks (lower to higher and vice-versa), on the glass fiber /epoxy laminated composites. These effects are studied in terms of sea water absorption, degradation in inter laminar shear strength (ILSS), alternations in the glass transition temperature (Tg) as compared to the untreated samples and finally listing up of the mode …

Development of Refractory Synthesized from Waste Ceramic Fiber and Chamotte
Abstract: Research on refractory materials is always essential in thermal engineering to ensure both heat savings and environmental protection. Raw materials used initially have a great influence on the production process and product properties. In addition, the refractory products are tested under conditions of high temperature and varying intensity, such as tests of thermal shock resistance. In this study, new refractory composites were prepared by mixing waste ceramic fibers with chamotte …

Effect of Ply Orientation on Thermal Erosion and Conductivity of Silica Phenolic Composites Under Oxy-Acetylene Flame
Abstract: The thermal and erosion performance of fiber-reinforced composites is highly sensitive to fiber architecture, matrix chemistry, and processing techniques, factors that have shaped development of advanced thermal protection systems (TPS) over past two decades. Silica phenolic (SP) composites, in particular, are widely employed in aerospace and defense applications due to their flame resistance, char stability, and ability to withstand severe thermal shock. However, optimizing thermal conductivity while improving erosion resistance …

Phase – Field Modeling of Brittle and Ductile Fracture Under Complex Loading Conditions
Abstract: Phase-field modeling has emerged as a powerful computational framework for predicting fracture behavior in engineering materials, offering a unified description of crack initiation, propagation, branching, and coalescence without the need for explicit crack tracking. This study presents an in-depth examination of phase-field modeling applied to both brittle and ductile fracture under complex loading conditions, including multiaxial stress states, cyclic loading, thermal gradients, and dynamic impact. The phase-field approach regularizes the …

Implications from Molybdenum: Emerging Trend
Abstract: Molybdenum (Mo) is refractory metal to subject high tensile and creep strength, high resistance to heat and corrosion, good thermal diffusivity and satisfactory welding properties. Addition of alloy ingredients lying as Ti, Zr, Si, B, C produce extra additive property evolution to adhere more in accord applicability at high temperature structural items. Fabrication of homogeneous alloy has prepared more adhering to and by powder processing. Extra-in-diffuse thermal involved shock and …
