• Development of methods and techniques for materials selection based on life cycle assessments of structural components and systems. Ultimately, in order for composites to truly be considered a viable alternative, they must be structurally and economically feasible. Numerous studies regarding the structural feasibility of composite materials are widely available in literature [6]. However, limited studies are available on the economic and environmental feasibility of these materials from the perspec
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
