MULTI-SCALE MECHANICS OF COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURES WITH BIOLOGICALLY INSPIRED FIBER REINFORCED FOAM CORES: A POTENTIAL TEMPLATE FOR DEVELOPING MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES
… occurring porous composite material with macrofiber reinforcement. Characterization of Palmetto Wood at multiple length scales revealed that the mechanical behavior is dominated by the stronger and stiffer macrofibers, while the porous cellulose matrix controls load transfer and failure …

DRUG ELUTING TISSUE ENGINEERED VASCULAR GRAFTS
… with 1.5mm trilayer constructs comprised of a macrofiber diameter poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) type I collagen outer layer that promotes vascular smooth muscle integration and media layer formation, a nanofiber diameter PCL type I collagen middle layer that promotes endothelial monolayer …

It’s Not Just a Phase: Real-Time Aeroelastic Flutter Control Optical Flow Sensing and Piezoelectric Control of Aeroelastic Flutter
… of 0.5 mm thick PETG was outfitted with two macrofiber composite (MFC) piezoelectric actuators mounted in a back-to-back configuration at the wing root. A Basler acA1300-200um camera was aimed at the free end of the airfoil. A ROS-based control framework computed optical flow from live camera …

Phased Array Damage Detection and Damage Classification in Guided Wave Structural Health Monitoring
… omnidirectional point sources for each actuator. MacroFiber Composite (MFC) transducers with anisotropic actuation are also studied, considering the wave main lobe width, main lobe magnitude, and side lobe levels. Analysis results demonstrate that the MFC phased arrays perform better than the PZT …

Finite Element Modeling of Macro Fiber Composite Actuators with Application to Wing De-icing
<p>Icing can have a profound impact on aircraft performance during inclement weather conditions. Aircraft icing primarily occurs on the leading edge of wings, tails and engines. The de-icing/anti-icing technologies currently in use are typically bulky, heavy, cover the entire airfoil surface and …
