Over the past half century numerous high profile bridges such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the London Millennium Bridge, and the Auckland Harbour Bridge have been subject to pedestrian induced vibrations due to walking. In this ...
Effect of Chemical Treatments and HDPE-g-MA on the physical and mechanical behaviour of HDPE/ natural fibre composites.
(2013)
Many authors have reported on the use of natural fibres (raw or chemically modified) as
reinforcing elements for high density polyethylene (HDPE). These materials have generated a lot of
interest due to their low cost ...
