Abstract: The effects of material variability on the mechanical response and failure of composites under high strain rate and impact loading are investigated in this paper. A previously developed strain rate–dependent, sectional ...

Abstract: A detailed ultrasonic cycle fatigue study has been presented for aluminum alloy 7075-T6 (AA7075-T6) under fully reversed tension-compression loading to investigate the geometric sensitivity, frequency effects, size effects, ...

Abstract: he two leading empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) of zonal-mean zonal wind describe north?south fluctuations, and intensification and narrowing, respectively, of the midlatitude jet. Under certain circumstances, these ...

Abstract: An optimization procedure has been developed to address the complex and conflicting requirements associated with the design of high‐speed proprotor aircraft. Since the key technical issues are maintenance of propulsive ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comparative numerical study of heat transfer enhancement in steady, laminar, hydrodynamically fully developed flow of water-based ferrofluids under no magnetic field in micro and macro parallel plate ...

Abstract: An atomistically-informed multiscale modeling framework is extended to assess the improvement in mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymer composites with radially-grown carbon nanotube (CNT) ...

Abstract: A modified Hashin failure model is developed to characterize different failure modes related to high-velocity impact of composite laminates. Hashin’s compressive fiber failure mode has been extended to consider the shear ...

Abstract: A piecewise linear parametric uniaxial stress-strain approach has been used to obtain the closed form nonlinear moment curvature response on the basis of strain compatibility in bending for epoxy resin materials. The ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of epoxy resin Epon E 863 has been studied in tension, compression, and flexure. The epoxy resins have been tested at different strain rates ranging from

Abstract: A piecewise-linear parametric uniaxial stress-strain approach has been used to obtain the nonlinear moment curvature response based on strain compatibility in bending for epoxy resin materials. It has been shown that the ...
