Experimental Study on the Tensile Properties of Bamboo Related to Its Distribution of Vascular Bundles Dongsheng Huang1,a, Aiping Zhou1,b, Haitao Li1,c, Yi Su1,d, Guo Chen 1.e 1School of civil engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, No.159, Longpan Road, Nanjing, P.R.China adshuang@njfu.edu.cn, bzaping2007@126.com, clhaitao1982@126.com, dsuyi@njfu.edu.cn, echenguo@126.com Key words: Bamboo material, vascular bundle, matrix, composite Abstract.
Earlier research show that the energy consumption to produce 1m3 per unit stress projected in practice for bamboo is great less than that of materials commonly used in civil construction, such as steel or concrete [3-5].
However, to widely use this material in engineering purpose is not appropriate to the occasion because the mechanical properties of it can not be controlled as expect in manufacturing up to now.
One effective approach to solve this problem is to group bamboo strips according to their microstructure and to lay them out by engineered designing.

Effect of Hydrated Lime on Asphalt Matrix Properties and Asphalt Mix Volume Characteristics Wenfeng Yang 1, a, Shao-peng Wu 2, b 1Aviation Engineering Institute, Civil Aviation Flight University of China, Guanghan, 618307, Sichuan 2Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials Science and Engineering of Ministry of Education, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, 430070, Hubei aywfcyy@163.com, bwusp168@163.com Key words: Hydrated Lime, Asphalt matrix, Volume Characteristics, Asphalt Retention, G*/sinδ Abstract.
Many kinds of measures have been applied to protect against the water damage of asphalt pavement, including choosing alkaline aggregate, using liquid anti-stripping agent, introducing hydrated lime, and applying compact asphalt mixture structure, etc. [1, 2] Though the hydrated lime have been hardly used in engineering practice as anti-stripping agent, which is considerable common abroad. [3] According to reference [4], anti-stripping measures have been used in 82 percent states in U.S., and among them, 56 percent using liquid anti-stripping agent, 29 percent using hydrated lime, and 15 percent using the both.

Cost-Efficient composite processing techniques for aerospace applications- A review Babak Ganjeh and Mohd Roshdi Hassan* Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia 43400 UPM, Serdang MALAYSIA *morhas@eng.upm.edu.my Keywords: Composite processing, out-of-autoclave, aircraft components, cost-efficient process Abstract.Composite materials have been used in aircraft components since the early beginning of aircraft industry establishment.Undenaible advantages of composites in mechanical properties and light weight in comparison with conventional metal alloys make them desirable alternative for fabrication of different aircraft components.
Affordability is crucial issue to constant improvement of composite materials utilization in aircraft structure, high costs of composite processing for aerospace applications have derived extensive studies on composite process optimization and improvement in terms of processing cycle time reduction, energy saving and eliminating expensive equipment, as result series of cost-efficient processing technique have been developed in recent years which highly increased the composite parts utilization level in upcoming civil aircrafts, to more than half of the structural weight.
This process is suitable for large and flat aircraft components as applied for fabricating the new Airbus civil aircraft A380 fixed trailing edge (lower panel) manufactured by GKN Aerospace .Hexcel Company is the main provider for resin films used in this process, namely Hexply® 8552RFI and Hexply® M36.
