Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Banana, Linen and Their Hybrid Reinforced Composite Laminates in Adverse Condition and Analyze Using ML
Abstract: This research investigates the mechanical performance of composite laminates reinforced with banana and linen fibers, focusing on both individual and hybrid fiber combinations. The primary objective is to assess how these natural fiber composites behave under extreme environmental conditions, particularly high humidity and fluctuating temperatures, which are common in aerospace and automotive applications.Key mechanical properties—tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance—are experimentally evaluated to assess the performance and long-term reliability …

Innovative Porcelain Insulators: Prolonged Durability and Anti-Contamination Efficiency via Nano-TiO2 Photocatalyst Integration
Abstract: Porcelain has long been a critical material in high-voltage electrical insulation due to its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties. However, environmental contamination and material degradation over time pose significant challenges to its durability. This study investigates the integration of nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst coatings on porcelain insulators to enhance their performance and prolong their operational lifespan. Local clay compositions were analyzed, and a comparative study of untreated and …
