报告内容简介:
Advanced fibre-reinforced polymer composites are now extensively used in aerospace industry, as a result of the increasing demand for lightweighting technology to reduce fuel consumption and improve energy efficiency. However, in the absence of through-thickness reinforcement, laminated composite materials are susceptible to interlaminar and intralaminar delamination damage. In light of these challenges, this talk focuses on the research in to the effects of using carbon nano-reinforcements for improving the multifunctional properties of epoxy-based composites. This research explores key parameters for improving the fracture toughness and electrical properties of epoxy composites with carbon nano-reinforcements, including their weight content, shape (one-dimensional CNTs and two-dimensional graphene), orientation (random and aligned), and alignment techniques (electric- and magnetic-field). The research further investigates the influence of the alignment of carbon nano-reinforcements on the damage detectability in composites.
报告人简介:
Dr. Raj Ladani graduated with a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering from RMIT University, Australia in 2012. Dr. Ladani completed his doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering at RMIT University’s Sir Lawrence Wackett Aerospace Research Centre in 2016, with a research focus on nano-reinforced multifunctional fibre composites. Dr. Ladani has since published over 17 journal articles in top quartile journals on fracture, fatigue, damage detection, and multifunctional properties of nanocomposites and fibre composites. Dr. Ladani is a co-investigator in the Australian Research Council’s Linkage Grant on “Multifunctional 3D Reinforced Composites” (2016-2019). At RMIT University, Dr. Ladani is a course co-ordinator and lecturer in the Aerospace and Aviation discipline, teaching Aerospace Design for Manufacturing and Assembly. Dr. Ladani is currently visiting NUAA as part of the joint NUAA-RMIT laboratory initiative.
