Abstract: A model is developed to predict the steady-state creep behavior of misaligned short-fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. The approach is based on an advanced shear-lag model and uses the ...

Abstract: This paper studies the three-dimensional transient interlaminar thermal stresses in elastic, angle-ply laminated composites due to sudden changes in the thermal boundary conditions. The transient ...

Abstract: The problem of a series of collinear Mode I cracks loaded by a uniform internal pressure is solved by an integral equations technique. By superimposing the solution for an arbitrarily loaded ...

Abstract: The flexible composites discussed in this paper are composed of continuous fibers in an elastomeric matrix. The usable range of deformation of these composites is much larger than that of ...

Abstract: The indentation load-displacement behavior of three material systems tested with a Berkovich indenter has been examined. The materials studied were the substrate materials—silicon and polycarbonate, ...

Abstract: The paper reports an analysis and modeling of the damage behavior of two-dimensional woven SiC/SiC composites. The damage mechanics analysis originally developed by Ladeveze and coworkers for ...
