In this study, the influence of internal reinforcements on the bending failure of a cylindrical aluminum tube was systematically investigated through a series of composite beam tests. Polymeric materials, including cast polyamide (PA6) and polypropylene (PP), with varying wall thicknesses, were deemed suitable for use as the inner reinforcement of the Al 6063-T6 tube. The test setup, which simulates impact conditions experienced by structural components in full-scale crash tests, is a powerful tool for the bending impacts in the study. To describe the connection between bending impact and quasi-static loading of composite beams, each method is compared to clarify the composite's failure behavior. An explicit Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of impact scenarios has been performed to understand the deformation behavior of polymer-reinforced composites and to determine the absorbed impact energy, thereby clarifying which specimen is better able to absorb bending impact energy. Primarily, three polymer-reinforced specimens were accepted with a hollow Al tube. After initial tests and simulations, the expected parametric study could not be achieved except for one. Then, three more combinations were offered. For one of the three specimens, the thickness of the central reinforcement PP was increased until a fully developed shaft was produced, resulting in better-than-expected bending impact-absorbing performance. The results indicate that the energy level of the inner reinforcements with polymeric materials increased 8.8 times, to about 750 J, compared to the plain Al tube (85 J) under bending impact loads. The numerical simulations are relevant and reliable for the details of the specimens' impact process and show good agreement with the experimental results. Finally, depending on the content, this research, rather than focusing on the fundamental concept of polymer-reinforced aluminum crash tubes, focuses on the specific dynamic bending impact evaluation of the Al, PA6, and PP configuration and the design insight that hollow PP reinforcement can accelerate fracture. In contrast, a fully filled PP core inside a PA6 sleeve can suppress splitting and substantially improve impact energy absorption.</p>","PeriodicalId":20416,"journal":{"name":"Polymers","volume":"18 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13120168/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147819964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the extensive use of fibers in the longitudinal direction causes imbalance in the cross-section, leading to web crippling behavior in profiles subjected to transverse vertical forces. In this study, the influence of temperature and hole diameter on the web crippling performance of pultruded GFRP U-section profiles was investigated experimentally and analytically. The specimens were perforated with circular holes with diameters of 32-50-70 mm (diameter/Height ratio d/H = 0.23-0.36-0.50) at the web center and exposed to high temperatures of 200-250-300 °C, respectively, along with room temperature. The experiments were conducted under ITF (interior-two-flange) and ETF (end-two-flange) loading conditions. According to the results obtained, ITF configurations exhibited approximately twice the load-carrying capacity compared to ETF configurations. Due to the effect of high temperature, the web-crushing capacity showed a significant decrease of up to 44% on average in all samples when the temperature was increased from 24 °C to 300 °C. Increasing the hole diameter (and consequently the d/H ratio) led to a gradual decrease in capacity ranging from 15.7% to 56.2%; in particular, it was demonstrated that the ETF loading configuration is more sensitive to the hole than the ITF. As a result of the study, an empirical equation considering the effects of temperature and hole size was proposed, and the model's predictions were compared with experimental results.

In such environments, conventional drill pipes often experience thermal stress, corrosion, and mechanical degradation, which can reduce drilling efficiency and compromise operational reliability. Thermal insulated drilling pipes (TIDPs) have therefore emerged as an effective solution to minimize heat transfer between drilling fluids and the surrounding formation. This review summarizes recent advances in TIDP materials, structural design strategies, fabrication technologies, and critical performance. Relevant studies were collected from major scientific databases, including Web of Science and Google Scholar, with a focus on insulation materials, coating technologies, and thermal management approaches used in drilling systems. The analysis indicates that advanced insulation systems, including polymer-based coatings, silica aerogels, vacuum-insulated layers, and phase-change materials, can significantly enhance thermal management in drilling operations. These technologies can reduce heat loss by approximately 40-60% (i.e., 400-600 W·m<sup>-2</sup>) and maintain drilling-fluid temperature differentials of 10-18 °C under HTHP conditions. In addition, fabrication techniques such as plasma spraying, composite fabrication, and additive manufacturing enable the development of multifunctional insulation systems with improved thermal, mechanical, and corrosion-resistant properties. Hybrid TIDP systems integrating nanocomposites and advanced polymers show strong potential for improving drilling safety and efficiency. However, challenges related to durability, scalability, and cost remain, highlighting the need for further research on multilayer insulation architectures and sustainable materials.</p>","PeriodicalId":20416,"journal":{"name":"Polymers","volume":"18 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13120172/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147819920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the curing-dependent process constraints governing stable integration of in situ casting within an FDM workflow. In the proposed process, FDM is used to fabricate thermoplastic confinement geometries, after which liquid polymer is dispensed into selected cavities and cured before printing resumes. Two representative curing systems were examined: a UV-curable photopolymer and a two-component epoxy resin. The experimental program included UV curing characterization under perpendicular 405 nm exposure, infrared thermal imaging of curing-induced heat generation and dissipation, confined curing of epoxy resin, layer-wise integration within an FDM-printed cavity, and a representative mechanical linkage demonstration. The results show that UV-based in situ casting is constrained by the coupled effects of curing depth, peak temperature, and visible deformation, making staged curing with intermediate thermal relaxation necessary for stable operation. In contrast, the epoxy system enabled bulk cavity filling with lower peak temperature, but required substantially longer curing time, introducing a different process limitation. A layer-wise UV curing strategy enabled successful stacking of four cast layers within an FDM-printed confinement without visible leakage or shell collapse. Mechanical testing of hybrid linkage specimens further showed that localized casting can modify structural stiffness through selective reinforcement. These findings demonstrate that dispensing-based in situ casting can be integrated into FDM when thermal, temporal, and filling constraints are explicitly managed, and they provide practical process guidance for hybrid polymer fabrication involving confined casting during printing.</p>","PeriodicalId":20416,"journal":{"name":"Polymers","volume":"18 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13120270/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147819945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
