...Ming Cheng; Weinong Chen; Tusit Weerasooriya Kevlar® KM2 fiber is a transversely isotropic material. Its tensile stress-strain response in the axial direction is linear and elastic until failure. However, the overall deformation in the transverse directions is nonlinear and nonelastic, although...

... with synergetic functionality that individual materials do not possess. In this study, Al 2 O 3 nanosized particles were coated on Al 2 O 3 fiber substrates using a dry mechanical coating technique employing high shear and compression forces. The materials thus synthesized had high surface area with good...
