Dynamic Testing of In-Situ Composite Floors and Evaluation of Vibration Serviceability Using the Finite Element Method
The presented research examined three areas: best practices in high quality dynamic testing of in-situ floor systems, extensive dynamic testing of three bare (non-fit out) in-situ multi-bay steel composite floors to estimate their dynamic parameters/response and to identify trends in dynamic …

The processing of microcomposites based on polypropylene and two thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers in injection molding, sheet extrusion, and extrusion blow molding
This work is concerned with the processing of pellets of polypropylene (PP) containing pregenerated microfibrils of thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (TLCPs), referred to as microcomposites. The processing methods used are injection molding, sheet extrusion, and extrusion blow molding. The TLCPs …

Deformation processed IMC-reinforced metal matrix composites
The feasibility of utilizing TiB₂-reinforced near-gamma TiAl intermetallic matrix composites (IMCs) as a reinforcing entity within a commercially pure Ti matrix was investigated. IMCs are "ceramic-like" at ambient to moderate temperatures, and “metallic-like" in their deformation behavior above …

Synthesis and characterization of in situ whisker-reinforced glass-ceramics
The effects of in situ Ti0₂ whisker reinforcement on mechanical and thermal properties of glass-ceramics in the Li₂O-Al₂0₃-P₂0₆-Si0₂ system were investigated. When Ti0₂ whiskers, having an average aspect ratio of 28, are precipitated from the glass-ceramic matrix, …
