Nowadays, pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite (PGFRPC) structures have been used widely for cross-arms in high transmission towers. These composite structures have replaced cross-arms of conventional materials like wood due to several factors, such as better strength, superior resistance to environmental degradation, reduced weight, and comparatively cheaper maintenance. However, lately, several performance failures have been found on existing cross-arm members, caused by moisture, temperature changes in the atmosphere, and other environmental factors, which may lead to a complete failure or reduced service life. As a potential solution for this problem, enhancing PGFRPC with honeycomb-filled composite structures will become a possible alternative that can sustain a longer service life compared to that of existing cross-arms. This is due to the new composite structures’ superior performance under mechanical duress in providing better stiffness, excellence in flexural characteristics, good energy absorption, and increased load-carrying capacity. Although there has been a lack of previous research done on the enhancement of existing composite cross-arms in applications for high transmission towers, several studies on the enhancement of hollow beams and tubes have been done. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review study on the mechanical efficiency of both PGFRPC structures and honeycomb-filled composite sandwich structures in experimental and analytical terms.

“…The thermoplastic composites can be further divided into two major types, the commingled andconventional non-commingled thermoplastic composites. [13][14][15][16][17] The use of commingled thermoplastic composites is continuously increasing due to their advantage of behaving like a ready-made dry prepreg 18,19 and also being lesser prone to void formation due to the existence of more bleed channels as compared to conventional thermoplastic composites resulting into better wetting out of the fibers. 13 The behavior of thermoplastic composites is entirely different from the thermoset composites.…”

The present work presents a new approach to the parameters of the thermoforming process for jute fiber commingled thermoplastic composites based on pressure control. Effect of gradual pressure on the microstructures of jute fiber and their mechanical properties has been investigated. The singeing of Jute yarn and subsequent co-twisting with Polypropylene (PP) was done to make reinforcement. Jute/PP composites were developed using Jute/PP commingled reinforcement. Flexural and Charpy impact tests were conducted to analyze the mechanical performance of composites made using gradual and instant loading on the compression hot press. It is found that application of gradual pressure not only decreases fiber damages, but also increase flexural strength by 82%, impact strength by 43% and impact energy by 93% as compared to composite fabricated using instant pressure. Further, the complete analysis of microstructure of fibers of both type of composites is done to compare the effect of both fabrication techniques.

Development in device, structure, design, and space component mechanisms is essential for performance and cost. Direct human interaction and monitoring are complicated in the aeronautical and space industry for morphing the structure-like winglet movement according to environmental change, which currently takes place by electromechanical sensing and response. This kind of system demands timely maintenance and control. Alteration of this bulkiness is provided by a viable technology called 4D printing, which incorporates the interdisciplinary study of three-dimensional printing, intelligent materials, stimulus, and design. In contrast to static-natured additive manufactured or 3D printed structures, four-dimensional (4D) printing enables transformation in objects under application of the correct environmental command like temperature, ohmic energy, water, light, magnetic energy, and much more. The insight of 4D printing is due to focus-researched intelligent materials such as shape memory polymers (SMP), shape memory alloys (SMA), and their composites. Shape memory polymer composites (SMPC) are an emerging class of insolent structural substances that can be inelastically abnormal and regain its standard shape by an external environmental change which serves in demanding applications like medical, origami, sensors, and robotics, and in aerospace structures such as solar arrays, deployable panels, cells, booms, self-deployable structures, reflector antennas, and more. Herein, this review amalgamates progress of four-dimensional printing with a combination of 3D printing, shape memory polymers, additive effect on its structural as well as shape-memorizing qualities, SMPC, composite fabrication methods, actuation medium, mechanism, and focus on SMPC in future applications with natural stimuli like solar energy, light, vibration, water, and more in self-actuation robots, wearable electronics, satellite hinges, in whole, aero-mechanical sectors, soft robotics industries, innovative electronics areas, defense sectors, and so on.
