Internal strain monitoring in composite materials with embedded photonic crystal fiber Bragg gratings Ghent University
Miniaturized silicon photonics multi-sensor operating at high temperatures for use in composite materials industrial applications Ghent University
Microtensile bond strength of composite cement to novel CAD/CAM materials as a function of surface treatment and aging KU Leuven
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different surface treatments on the bond strength to a composite and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic CAD/CAM block after six-month artificial aging. Methods and Materials: Two types of CAD/CAM blocks (Cerasmart, GC; Enamic, Vita Zahnfabrik) were cut in slabs of 4-mm thickness, divided into six groups, and subjected to the following surface treatments: group 1: no treatment; group 2: sandblasting (SB); group 3: ...
Automotive brake friction composite materials using natural Grewia Optiva fibers Ghent University
There have been growing concerns over using non-renewable resources while manufacturing goods and related environmental laws worldwide. As part of efforts to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources, the uses of natural resources in brake friction materials are gaining prominence. Therefore, a natural fiber from the Himalayan region, Grewia Optiva, was used in the present study to develop a sustainable material for automotive braking ...
Structural Health Monitoring of Composite Materials Using Fiber Bragg Gratings Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Nondestructive testing potential evaluation of a terahertz frequency-modulated continuous-wave imager for composite materials inspection Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The sub-terahertz (THz) frequency band has proved to be a noteworthy option for nondestructive testing (NDT) of nonmetal aeronautics materials. Composite structures or laminates can be inspected for foreign objects (water or debris), delaminations, debonds, etc., using sub-THz sensors during the manufacturing process or maintenance. Given the harmless radiation to the human body of this frequency band, no special security measures are needed ...
