Abstract: By applying a closed-form analytical solution Hwu and Fan (1998) for an anisotropic half-plane, the contact characteristics of unidirectional continuous fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites are ...

Abstract: Based on the anisotropic strength failure criteria, a model is introduced to predict the wear behavior of unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRP) for arbitrary fiber ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to define the constitutive response of brainstem undergoing finite shear deformation. Brainstem was characterized as a transversely isotropic viscoelastic material ...
