Abstract: This paper presents a robust computational model for the response of composite laminates to high intensity transverse dynamic loading emanating from local impact by a projectile and distributed ...

Abstract: The ability to manufacture thermoset matrix composite materials into large and complex structures can be significantly enhanced by modeling the behavior of the system during the process. As a ...

Abstract: Delamination as the main defect created during drilling of composite laminate is principally a crack nucleation and propagation phenomenon. The fracture-based investigation is performed to identify the significance of ...

Abstract: The strain-softening response and failure of oriented strand boards (OSBs) were investigated both experimentally and numerically. Standard tests were used to characterize the elastic (modulus of elasticity) as well as ...

Abstract: Strand-based wood and bamboo composites are a class of structural materials which are increasingly being used in the construction industry. These bio-based composites consist of orthotropic wood or bamboo strands bonded ...
