Fabric Phononic Crystals for Passive Vibration Control
Michael Y Wang, Hridyesh Tewani, Marianne Fairbanks +2
Weaving patterns in fabrics, traditionally used for aesthetic purposes, present a largely untapped opportunity to create metamaterials that serve as passive layers for sensing, fil…
Ari-Textile Composites: Drapable Hybrid Woven Composites for Lightning Strike Protection
Hridyesh Tewani, Vincent Scheerer, Madison Owens +8
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have been extensively used in the aerospace and wind energy industries due to their superior specific mechanical properties and corrosion r…
Ari-Textile Composites: Role of Weave Architecture on Mode-I Fracture Toughness in Woven Composites
Hridyesh Tewani, Jackson Cyvas, Kennedy Perez +1
This paper investigates the impact of weave architectures on the mechanics of crack propagation in fiber-reinforced woven polymer composites under quasi-static loading. Woven compo…
Moisture Diffusion in Multi-Layered Materials: The Role of Layer Stacking and Composition
Shaojie Zhang, Yuhao Liu, Peng Feng +1
Multi-layered materials are everywhere, from fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) to plywood sheets to layered rocks. When in service, these materials are often exposed to l…
