TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-reference source spanning the whole composites science field, including fiber reinforcements and general theory of composites, polymer matrix composites; metal matrix composite; test methods, non-destructive evaluation and smart composites.

TL;DR: A built- in diagnostic technique based on a distributed sensor network is presented for composite structures that uses the built-in sensors to measure the response of the structures and process the measured signals to interpret the changes of signals at two different times in terms of physical change of the structure.

TL;DR: Quasicrystals are metallic alloys, often containing 60 to 70 atomic per cent AI as mentioned in this paper, and they typically exhibit crystallographically-forbidden symmetry, such as a fivefold rotational symmetry, illustrated in Fig. 1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of phase separation from bulk immiscible componen t s in solut ion often poses a significant barr ier to producing many commercial and scientifically relevant homogeneous polymer blends.

TL;DR: In particular, molecular mode l ing provides a way of visualizing p rocesses at a sub-macromolecular level that also connec t s theory and e x p e r i m e n t. as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the impact of computational materials science on the development of new materials and what breakthroughs in our fundamental understanding of materials behavior can be attributed to computa t iona l modeling.
