Ceramic matrix composite materials and the development of composite materials overall is still in its infancy. These materials are an important part of our business and we expect this to grow given our capability to machine grind and polish them. Our experience has been that advanced and engineere...
Low-carbon development is a holistic vision and process, focusing on improving the environment and often adopting decarbonization, resilience,circularity, and equity. Done right, it requires coordination across architecture, engineering, and construction, with all teams sharing digital assets from the outs...
They belong to the new type of composites with high performance, low cost and green environment protection, and have partially replaced expensive engineering plastics, thermosetting composites (FRP) and lightweight metal materials (aluminum-magnesium alloy), and have broad application prospects in ...
Composite Beams Composite beams are fashioned by integrating two or more distinct materials, such as steel and concrete. Based on Cross-Section Shapes A multitude of cross-sectional profiles for beams are accessible and employed in various sections of structures. These beams can be manufactured using...
InFRP (fiber reinforced polymer) compositeproducts, cross-linked polymers are most commonly used and are referred to as resin or thermoset resin. The most common polymers used in composites arepolyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy. Examples Common polymers include: ...
Before verifying the research hypothesis by using the structural model, it is necessary to assess the involved measurement models first. The assessment of a measurement model includes internal consistency (composite reliability), individual indicator reliability, convergent validity (i.e., average variance...
Composite reliability (CR) for each factor ranged from 0.781 to 0.923, which exceeded the cutoff criteria (CR > 0.7) [61], while the values of the average variance extracted (hereafter AVE) for each loaded construct ranged from 0.543 to 0.744. This showed convergent validity, because it was...
