Abstract: Origami has shown the potential to design unique mechanical properties and complex three-dimensional shapes by folding through designed crease patterns on flat materials. The authors investigated a new honeycomb-based ...

Abstract: Laser ultrasonics using guided waves excited by laser irradiation has attracted attention as an efficient nondestructive inspection method for carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates. In this article, ...

Abstract: Heat-resistant composites, such as ceramic matrix composites and heat-resistant carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs), are expected to be used for aircraft engine parts. The development of reliable heat-resistant composite ...
