Strength Prediction And Fatigue De-Bond Growth In Bonded Joints In Metallic And Composite Structures
(2013-05-23)
Large scale structures such as those in aerospace flight vehicles are made in parts and assembled. Joints are inevitable in these systems and they are potential threats to the structural integrity of the flight vehicles. ...
Thermal Behaviour Of Mono-Fibre Composites And Hybrid Composites At Cryogenic Temperatures
(2013-01-31)
Hybrid composites forms an important field of research in the area of composite science and engineering as it gives the advantage of avoiding complex lay-up designs and provides better tuning compatibility to get desired ...
Studies On Shock Wave Attenuation In Liquids
(2013-06-11)
The attenuation mechanism of shock waves of arbitrary strength propagating in air has been reasonably well understood. On the other hand, very little is known about the precise mechanism of shock wave attenuation and energy ...
Novel Finite Element Formulations For Dynamics Of Acoustic Fluids
(2013-05-02)
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) as the name suggests, is the study of dynamic interaction of both fluid and structure motions. Fluid-structure interaction exists in almost all engineering and science fields. Moreover, ...
Effect Of Cross-sectional Nonlinearities On Anisotropic Strip-based Mechanisms
(2013-05-28)
The goal of this work is to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive analysis of single and multi-body composite strip-beam systems using an asymptotically-correct geometrically nonlinear theory. The comprehensiveness ...
Inter-laminar Stresses In Composite Sandwich Panels Using Variational Asymptotic Method (VAM)
(2013-07-10)
In aerospace applications, use of laminates made of composite materials as face sheets in sandwich panels are on the rise. These composite laminates have low transverse shear and transverse normal moduli compared to the ...
