Abstract: Fiber‐reinforced plastic (FRP) structural members with open or closed thin‐walled sections are being used as beams and columns for structural applications where buckling is the main consideration in the design. Analytical ...

Abstract: Interaction between static fatigue and zero stress aging of E-glass fiber composites is investigated. A comprehensive gathering of available experimental data for E-glass fibers and unidirectional composites is presented. ...

Abstract: A simple procedure is developed for the selection of pultruded structural shapes to be used as beam-columns in structural design. The design equations are then validated by comparison with experimental data gathered during ...

Abstract: This paper deals with glass‐fiber‐reinforced plastic (GFRP) beams produced by the pultrusion process. Pultruded composite members are being used extensively as beams for structural applications. Widespread use is motivated ...

Abstract: Based on generalized laminate plate theory (GLPT), the formulation of a one‐dimensional laminated beam finite element with layerwise constant shear (BLCS) is presented. BLCS formulation is equivalent to a first‐order shear ...

Abstract: The equivalent time temperature method (ETT) is a novel extension of the equivalent time method. ETT is developed in this work to deal with time-temperature shifting of long-term polymer and ...
