Summary: In this study, the interface transition zone between continuous glass fiber textile and mortar was modified using the gradient composite design technique, which successfully resolved the issue of poor bonding between the two materials. The GTRM composites with an interfacial gradient structure exhibited excellent mechanical properties, and digital image correlation was utilized to investigate crack growth and development. The externally bonded GTRM composites showed significant improvement in the flexural strength and crack resistance of concrete beams.

Summary: C-sandwich radome composites with double-layer woven lattice truss composites were designed and manufactured. Edgewise compressive testing revealed that the failure mechanism depends on the panel height, with global buckling, core piles fracture, and skin fracture being the typical failure modes. The global buckling is induced by the shear failure of the truss core, which is restricted with shorter columns. This study provides guidance for the design and preparation of radome sandwich composites.

Summary: This study presents a parallel numerical and experimental analysis of shear deformation in thermoplastic-based composites reinforced with glass fiber textile during the thermoforming process. The numerical analysis was conducted using a specific finite element software, while an experimental thermoforming test was performed with the exact same parameters. Comparisons between the simulation and measurement results show a satisfying agreement, validating the simulation method and providing useful conclusions about the detection and measurement of shear textile deformation using optical systems.

Summary: Hospitals and nursing home wards are high-risk areas for infection propagation, especially with dangerous viruses and multidrug-resistant bacteria. Functionalizing healthcare textiles with antimicrobial properties, such as gold-hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, can effectively reduce microbial load and prevent the spread of infections. Knitted fabrics made of cotton, polyester, and cotton-polyester were successfully functionalized using pre-treatments, surfactants, incorporation processes, and optimization of exhaustion parameters. The best performing fabric, half bleached cotton, showed antibacterial properties even after 20 washing cycles, making it suitable for healthcare comfort textiles.

Summary: Thickness tapering is a common strategy for efficient and lightweight composite structures, but it can introduce delamination sites. This study investigated the use of ply scarfing method to improve the compressive failure stress of tapered laminates made from thick unidirectional non-crimp fabrics. The results showed that ply scarfing suppressed delamination and increased the failure stress by 60%.

Summary: In order to improve the fire safety of combustible materials in wearable applications, a multifunctional fabric with flame retardancy and comfortable wearability is urgently needed. The TPU/APP/MXene fiber membrane, obtained by adding ultra-fine ammonium polyphosphate (APP) prepared by ball milling to polyurethane (TPU) spinning solution and spraying MXene, exhibits excellent flame-retardancy and other multifunctional properties such as strain sensitivity, water penetration resistance, breathability, and electrothermal properties. The co-spinning strategy provides a new platform for the construction of multifunctional composite fiber membranes, which is of great value in solving wearable safety problems.

Summary: This paper investigates phenomena associated with microstructure and how the main deformation mode can be controlled through a second gradient parameter. The results demonstrate that by increasing the second gradient parameter, the deformation mode can switch from shear to one with a constant curvature along the specimen. By studying two different geometries of fibrous composite reinforcements, it is shown how the effects of local bending stiffness of the yarns can be taken into account in a homogenized way in a homogeneous second gradient continuum.

Summary: A digital tool was presented to help clinicians decide between non-surgical and surgical strategies in cases of instrument fracture. Virtual Treatment Planning and Finite Element Analysis identified mechanical risks of different strategies, ultimately leading to the choice of a 3-mm apicoectomy approach. Further research is needed to confirm the relevance of this digital approach in endodontic practice.

Summary: The drapability of a textile composite reinforcement refers to its ability to be formed on a double curved shape without wrinkling. By analyzing the deformation modes and internal virtual works during draping, a physics-based Drapability Ratio can be determined, which is influenced by the in-plane shear stiffness and bending stiffness of the textile reinforcement. This ratio helps identify the suitable reinforcement for a given geometry.

Summary: This study aimed to classify the relative contributions of four biomechanical factors to the root stresses of the resected premolar. The results showed that the factors of preparation and bone height had a significant influence on root stresses, and neglecting the interactions between factors would result in missing nearly half of the biomechanical impact.

Summary: A new thermo-mechanical strategy for modelling the thermo-stamping process of multilayered CFRTP materials is proposed. The approach combines a new two-dimensional thermo-mechanical finite element model with a viscohyperelastic constitutive law. The results demonstrate the potential of the method in capturing the anisotropic mechanical response of UD prepregs and identifying the heat distribution during the contact between prepregs and tools.

Summary: Flax fibers, known for their excellent mechanical properties and recyclability, are widely used as the strongest natural fibers in advanced composite parts. This study conducted uniaxial tensile tests on hollow tubular braided fabrics made of flax fiber materials at different temperatures and tensile speeds. The results showed that temperature and tensile speed significantly affect the strength and shear stiffness of the fabric. Additionally, a theoretical model was established to describe the shear angle on the smallest circumference of the fabric, providing a basis for subsequent simulations.

Summary: For many applications, numerical modeling of composite reinforcements may require a detailed knowledge of the structure at the mesoscopic scale, which involves a numerical description of the yarn. Non Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) interpolation functions are used to approximate the yarn geometry with a reduced number of degrees of freedom and to allow a description of higher deformation gradient mechanics.

Summary: This article presents different approaches for simulating wrinkling during the forming of textile reinforcements, including 3D finite element modeling with consideration of additional bending stiffness of fibers and the importance of bending stiffness in shell-type modeling. It also discusses the common aspects of quasi-inextensibility of fibers and possible slippage between fibers in the development of wrinkles. Additionally, it explores the influence of fiber orientation on wrinkling during the simultaneous forming of multilayered textile reinforcements.
