Manufacturing and impact resistance of Large-Scale stacked fibre metal laminates by Ding Tang, Haoyang Huang, Yitong Fan, Huamiao Wang, Yinghong Peng

“…For the Charpy impact, we compared the impact resistance of monolithic aluminium plates, laminated aluminium plates, carbon FMLs, and glass FMLs and observed a progressive increase in energy absorption across these types. Increasing the composite layer thickness shifted the initial failure mode from bottom fracture to shear failure of the middle layer, resulting in decreased energy absorption and increased bending modulus. …”

Decoupled sedimentary records of combustion: Causes and implications by Ulrich M. Hanke, Timothy I. Eglinton, Ana L. L. Braun, Christopher M. Reddy, Daniel B. Wiedemeier, Michael W. I. Schmidt

“…We find markedly discordant records for different PyC tracers, particularly during the preindustrial age, implying different origins and modes of supply of sedimentary PyC. In addition to providing new insights into the composition of sedimentary combustion products, this study reveals that elucidation of past combustion processes and development of accurate budgets of PyC production and deposition on local to regional scales requires careful consideration of both source characteristics and transport processes.…”
