Zhen Hu,Qing Shao,Yudong Huang,Long Yu,Dayu Zhang,Xirong Xu,Jing Lin,Hu Liu,Hu Liu,Zhanhu Guo +9 more
TL;DR: A novel strategy to construct advanced composites with light-triggered self-healing properties, which will provide inspiration for preparing high performance composite materials is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of non-destructive techniques used for mechanical damage assessment in polymer composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the capabilities of the most common non-destructive testing techniques used to inspect the integrity of composite materials are reviewed, depending on the occurring damage mechanism and the conditions of use, or several techniques should be combined to improve the diagnosis of the damage state of the structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards centimeter thick transparent wood through interface manipulation
TL;DR: In this paper, highly transparent wood (1.5 mm) with a transmittance of 92%, close to that of pure PMMA (95%), is demonstrated. But it is difficult to realize this material in buildings due to the high interface debonding gap.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of X-ray computed tomography for design and process modeling of aerospace composites: A review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the design and modeling aspects of key aerospace composites manufacturing techniques using the X-ray computed tomography (XCT) procedure is presented in this paper, with a view to adopt several modeling approaches ranging from mesoscale to macroscale models for composites processing.

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Path Independent Integral and the Approximate Analysis of Strain Concentration by Notches and Cracks
TL;DR: In this paper, an integral is exhibited which has the same value for all paths surrounding a class of notches in two-dimensional deformation fields of linear or non-linear elastic materials.
BookDOI
Fracture Mechanics : Fundamentals and Applications

Journal ArticleDOI
Optical Coherence Tomography
TL;DR: The optical coherence tomograph is a new, noninvasive technical device that can obtain cross-sectional, high-resolution images-optical coherencetomographs (OCT)-of the retina that permits an accurate evaluation of various macular and chorioretinal pathologies and the early detection of glaucomatous damage.
