Abstract: Conceptually, fabric composites have some structural advantages over conventional laminates. However, deformation and failure analyses become more complex with the additional anisotropy introduced ...

Abstract: It is often assumed that the effects of an aggressive environment can be included in fatigue life estimation procedures by determining the material properties in the environment and at the ...

Abstract: An experimental study is presented to (1) quantify the rate-sensitive mechanical response and (2) examine the localized deformation behavior under an applied temperature gradient in the alloy AA ...
