An Experimental and Computational Study on the Low Velocity Impact-Induced Damage of a Highly Anisotropic Laminated Composite Panel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The low velocity impact (LVI)-induced damage of a highly anisotropic laminate [0/90/0/909]s has been studied experimentally and numerically. The purpose of the analyses of this laminate is that this stacking sequence ...
The Effects of Favorable and Unfavorable Geometric Perturbations on the Response of Pressure-Loaded Hemispherical Shells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hemispherical shells subjected to external pressure loading are known to be sensitive to geometric imperfections. Dimple imperfections and their effects on the buckling and postbuckling response of spherical and hemispherical ...
Predictions of Delamination Growth for Quasi Static Loading of Composite Laminates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an exact, twodimensional (2D) quasistatic elastic analysis of predelaminated composite panels subject to arbitrary transverse pressure loads. The piecewise linear spring model and the shear bridging ...
The Temporal Evolution of Buckling in a Dynamically Impacted Column
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The timedependent progressive evolution of transverse displacements of an axially impacted, slender, geometrically imperfect, column is studied here. The analysis is concerned with evaluating the timehistory associated ...
A Novel Shell Element for Quasi Static and Natural Frequency Analysis of Textile Composite Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A shell element for analysis of textile composite structures is proposed in this paper. Based on the embedded element method and solid shell concept, the architecture, geometry, and material properties of a repeat unit ...
2D Elastodynamic Solution for the Impact Response of Laminated Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a general, exact, twodimensional (2D) elastodynamic analysis of the response of laminated composite panels subjected to transverse impact loading under conditions of planar deformation. The natural ...

The Two Dimensional Elasticity Solution for the Buckling of a Thick Orthotropic Ring Under External Pressure Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the 2D elasticity solution for the buckling of a thick orthotropic ring under external hydrostatic pressure loading. The bifurcation buckling problem is first formulated using two methods, ...
On the Buckling of a Two Dimensional Micropolar Strip
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study examines the buckling of a single strip of material, modeled as a twodimensional (2D) micropolar solid. The effects of material microstructure are incorporated by modeling the material using micropolar theory. ...
A Three Phase Shear Lag Model for Longitudinal Cracking of a Ceramic Matrix Composite Ply With Thick Fiber Coatings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During progressive cracking of crossply ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), load is transferred from the fiber to the matrix in the longitudinal (0 deg) ply via shear through a compliant interphase layer, also referred to ...
