The randomness and multi-level structures inherent to porous composites with open-pore make it difficult to establish equivalent geometric models at different scales for multi-scale simulations. This paper presents a combined experimental and simulation approach to the preparation, structural analysis and multiscale simulation of quartz fibre-reinforced phenolic composites. The elementalized open-pore porous models with the Knudsen effect, the random fibre yarn models and the random fibre felt models have been established and assembled into a composite structural model after homogenization. The thermal conductivity parameters of the porous model are calculated and transferred to the fibre yarn and fibre felt models for simulation. Thereafter, the thermal conductivity parameters of the three models are transferred to the composite structure model and simulated to obtain its equivalent thermal conductivity. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate that the introduction of the Knudsen effect can reduce the simulation error of the composite structure model by an order of magnitude. In combination with the random contact characteristics of the yarns, the sequential multiscale finite element heat transfer simulation with an error of 0.5 % can be achieved.

The additive manufacturing of continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites is a technology showing great potential for the production of end-use functional and structural components. The reasons for its still limited use are primarily related to an insufficient knowledge of the mechanical behavior of these composites, especially when considering the features that distinguish the printed components from conventional composite parts. Among these peculiar features, their bead-based architecture has been experimentally and analytically investigated in this study. Following an analysis of the process-morphology correlation, carbon fiber (CF)/polyamide 12 (PA12) specimens were tested to characterize the in-plane quasi-static material properties. Then, a modelling framework has been proposed for assessing the composite elastic properties and average bead stresses. This framework holds the potential to scale up to a structural level, accommodating various fiber trajectories.

This study employs a multi-scale numerical calculations method based on molecular dynamics and finite element modeling to investigate the stress transfer mechanisms within the interphase of unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic polymers (CFRTP) composites, based on which exponential decay model (EDM) was developed to predict the interphase strength and modulus. Revealing that the interphase strength and modulus are approximately 0.5–0.7 times that of the fibre/interphase interface or 1.2 to 1.7 times matrix. The EDM was validated using a coupled experimental-representative volume element modeling method. By calibrating the interphase fracture energy, the mechanical properties predicted by the EDM aligned well with the experimental results of UD CFRTP composites. Finally, the damage evolution and failure modes were analyzed, revealing that the transverse failure of UD CFRTP composites is dominated by the interphase, while longitudinal failure is primarily governed by the fibers, consistent with scanning electron microscope observations. This confirms the accuracy of the EDM, and application this method can be used to quickly and accurately assess the strength and modulus of the interphase in CFRTP composites to significantly reduce the numerical analysis time.

Safety helmets are essential protective gear for workers in hazardous environments, capable of reducing external impact forces by 90 %. Proper wearing of a helmet in any situation is crucial for ensuring maximum protection. In dangerous scenarios, if a helmet is dislodged or misaligned due to an external impact, it makes following impacts difficult to prevent. Quick adjustment to the correct position is essential. In this context, it is important to develop a smart helmet system capable of monitoring the spatial pressure distribution that shows proper usage of helmet at the boundary between the helmet and head. Such a system could further provide guidance to users for proper wearing, enhancing safety in the work environment. This paper introduces the micro-porous elastomeric conductive composite as a soft, ultra-sensitive pressure sensor for low pressure regime (0–200 kPa). The sensor combines with a vibrotactile actuator and microcontroller, creating a haptic interface that responds to changes in pressure. Integrating haptic interfaces into safety helmets, smart helmets yield a system capable of real-time measurement of pressure between the helmets and head and delivers the wearing conditions to users. Detailed research into the materials, mechanical engineering aspects of this device, along with pilot perception tests, establishes the technical foundation and measurement capabilities of the proposed system.

In-situ Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) of thermoplastic composites has several advantages over traditional manufacturing techniques, with the main benefit being eliminating secondary thermal processing. Without secondary heat treatment, the in-situ thermal history becomes the critical process parameter that governs bond development, crystallization kinetics, and the development of residual stresses. This work improves the thermal modeling of the in-situ Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) manufacturing process by leveraging Theory-Guided Machine Learning (TGML). A novel theory-guided neural network (TgNN) with theory-based pre-layer transforms models the three-dimensional temperature distribution during in-situ AFP manufacturing. The TgNN is fit on experimentally measured temperatures for various combinations of hot gas torch temperatures and heat source velocities. Feature engineering is implemented by applying theory-based pre-layer transforms to the input features time, the thermocouple coordinates, hot gas torch temperature, and heat source velocity. Compared to a theory-agnostic neural network, the TgNN with theory-based pre-layer transforms has improved predictive ability and requires fewer training data for equivalent performance. The trained model is computationally efficient and can be leveraged for online process control.

The development of radar-infrared-compatible stealth materials is crucial for the weaponry stealth field. However, reconciling the mechanistic contradiction between radar and infrared stealth remains a challenge. In this study, an asymmetrical sandwich structure composite was developed, with an absorbing layer situated in the middle and low emissivity layers on either side. The structure and properties of the functional layers were optimized: In the absorbing layer, ethylene propylene diene monomer/carbon nanotubes/silica (EPDM/CNTs/SiO2) was foamed to enhance its microwave absorption and thermal insulation properties. In the low emissivity layers, the orientation of the flake aluminum powders was adjusted to reduce the infrared emissivity to as low as 0.236 and 0.183 at 3∼5 and 8∼14 μm, respectively. As a result, the composite achieved an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.26 GHz and maintained an equilibrium temperature of 29.4 °C after being placed on a 60 °C hot stage, demonstrating excellent infrared stealth performance. Additionally, the composite has a suitable density (0.77 g/cm3) and thickness (3.58 mm). Considering its broad bandwidth, low emissivity, lightness, and softness, the sandwich structure composite is suitable for compatible stealth applications.
开发雷达-红外兼容的隐身材料对武器隐身领域至关重要。然而，如何协调雷达和红外隐身之间的机理矛盾仍然是一个挑战。本研究开发了一种非对称夹层结构复合材料，中间为吸收层，两侧为低发射率层。对功能层的结构和性能进行了优化：在吸收层中，发泡了乙丙橡胶/碳纳米管/二氧化硅（EPDM/CNTs/SiO2），以增强其微波吸收和隔热性能。在低发射率层中，调整了片状铝粉的取向，使其在 3∼5 和 8∼14 μm 处的红外发射率分别降至 0.236 和 0.183。因此，该复合材料的有效吸收带宽达到了 7.26 GHz，并在置于 60 °C 热台上后保持了 29.4 °C 的平衡温度，显示出卓越的红外隐身性能。此外，该复合材料还具有合适的密度（0.77 克/立方厘米）和厚度（3.58 毫米）。考虑到其带宽宽、发射率低、重量轻和柔软性，三明治结构复合材料适用于兼容隐身应用。

A novel glass transition-assisted mechanical delamination process was developed for the environmentally friendly and high-value recovery of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates. When heated to 250–350 °C for 5–15 min in an air atmosphere, the resin matrix quickly transitioned from a rigid glassy state to a flexible rubbery state, making the CFRP laminates soft and bendable. Simultaneously, the shear strength of the resin in the rubbery state decreased significantly to 0.35%–4.58 % of its original value. The softened CFRP laminates could be easily bent by a bending machine. Excessive bending deformation caused the resin between adjacent carbon fiber (CF) sheets to tear and debond, resulting in delamination of the laminates into individual CF sheets. Upon cooling to the glassy state, the shear strength of the resin was restored to 87.59%–98.55 % of its original value. This mild glass transition treatment did not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the CF. The resulting monolayer CF sheets could be easily cut into thin slices or filaments of uniform size and hot-pressed into new CFRP plates. The flexural and tensile strengths of the refabricated CFRP plates were approximately 58.98%–82.71 % and 54.55%–87.79 % of those of the original laminates, respectively.

This study aims to prepare millimeter-scale macrocapsules with cold energy storage and temperature indication suitable for the requirement of vaccine storage (−25 °C ∼ -15 °C). In these macrocapsules, reversible thermochromic microencapsulated phase change materials (TC-MPCMs) are used as dispersions, and flexible calcium alginate is served as the polymer matrix. Macrocapsules exhibit a particle size distribution from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm, with a melting temperature of −18.4 °C, a melting enthalpy of 86.0 J/g and an encapsulation efficiency of 45.5 %. After melting of the PCMs (Phase change materials), these macrocapsules can undergo a reversible discoloration, with a color difference of 27.54. Additionally, the volatilization of internal PCMs can also trigger the discoloration reaction. After 100 thermal cycles, the latent heat loss of the macrocapsules is less than 5 %, and the calcium alginate shell material delays the thermal decomposition of internal PCMs. Finally, the storage-release cold energy test shows that at 25 °C, the macrocapsules can maintain the ideal temperature range (−25 °C ∼ -15 °C) for 10.34 min. The millimeter-scale macrocapsules successfully address the issues of ultrafine powder contamination, difficulty in reuse and recycling of micron-scale TC-MPCMs, and show excellent potential for vaccine frozen storage.

Integration of functional nanomaterials into 3D printing polymers expands the versatility of 4D printing. However, high performance and multi-UV curable materials adaptable nanoparticles for 4D printing are still urgently needed to avoid printing complications and deformation limitations caused by high filler loadings. Here, high performance oxygen-deficient tungsten oxide nanoparticles (WO3-x NPs) are synthesized via a straightforward hydrothermal method, and the resulting nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit excellent photothermal property which can rapidly increase from room temperature to 562.6 °C in less than 2 s via near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. Moreover, these NPs can also be well dispersed in a wide range of photocurable polymers, such as UV curable hydrogel, shape memory polymer, and dual-curing polymer, forming variety of nanocomposite systems. The formed nanocomposite systems can be manufactured into complex 3D structures via digital light processing based 4D printing. Just trace WO3-x NPs in nanocomposite systems (<2 wt‰) can help realize the controllable photothermal properties of the printed structures, which are capable of arbitrary spatial deformation, remote-controlled distortion, and on-demand reinforcement in response to NIR irradiation, presenting a succinct and impactful approach to broadening the application scope of light-controlled DLP-based 4D printing.
