An Overview of Ceramic Matrix Composite
Abstract: Ceramic materials often exhibit a combination of useful physical and mechanical properties, including high refractoriness, but their applications are restricted due to their brittle behaviour; in an attempt to improve the strength, and particularly the toughness, of brittle ceramics particle-strengthening and fibre-reinforcement have been utilized, with limited success. The factors which affect the mechanical properties of these composite systems are discussed, and the various experimental systems that have been investigated …

Optimisation of Ratio of Center Distance of Adjacent Hole to Diameter of Pre-stressed Holes by FEA
Abstract: Residual compressive stress zone around a fastener hole is introduced by a process called pre-stressing. This is being done to reduce adverse effect of cyclic tensile stress and to restrict the fatigue crack growth due to material flaws or imperfect surfaces. The objective of this investigation is to optimize the inter-hole distance between adjacent cold expanded holes on a plate restricting the deformation of material between holes to the elastic …

Revolutionizing Bone Grafting: A Survey of 3D Printed Solutions
Abstract: Due to the limits of conventional grafts, large bone deficiencies resulting from illness or trauma continue to be a significant clinical challenge. Autografts, while osteoconductive and osteoinductive, are limited by donor availability and morbidity, and allografts/xenografts carry risks of immune rejection and disease transmission. In contrast, 3D printing (additive manufacturing) enables fabrication of patient-specific bone scaffolds with controlled architecture, composition, and bioactivity. Using techniques, like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography …
