In my August 2021 column, I introduced the composites building block approach as a step-by-step series of mechanical tests of increasing complexity, coupled with analyses performed at each step, that ...

Chemists at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) and Utrecht University have developed a new method to produce a promising chemical building block from biomass. This compound can serve as a ...

In my November 2024 column, I began discussing the building block approach for crashworthiness testing of composite structures. This approach features a multistep process for designing composite ...
