The behavior of a disk made of silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) under thermal loads was investigated using numerical analysis. Due to its superior properties such as high thermal resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high fracture toughness, Si₃N₄ stands out among advanced ceramic...

The rapid growth of non-degradable plastics with poor management of waste is a major international challenge for the environment; thus, prompt development of high-performance sustainable materials is demanded. In this work, the epoxy-based composites reinforced by waste cotton fabric and clay...

Background: Resource-saving developments using industrial waste as a man-made raw material for the production of binders allow for the expansion of the raw material base and improve the environmental situation in regions through the recycling of large-scale...

This study reports the development of biodegradable soil erosion-control mats using Enset pseudostem fibers reinforced with plant-derived polymers and natural tackifying agents. The fibers were sustainably extracted, spun into threads, and woven into durable mats, followed by a plant-based...

Spider silk fiber (SSF) is a kind of natural biomaterial with superior performance. Its biocompatibility and mechanical properties are incomparable with those of other natural and artificial materials. The natural spinning process, chemical composition, structure and properties of spider silk...

The study of dynamic response of structural members is of great importance in aerospace design where the structural members such as wing spars should not resonate for ensuring the flight safety and structural integrity. Although a lot of research has been conducted on vibration of beams, a...
