Deformation Characteristics of Composite Structures
The composites provide design flexibility because many of them can be moulded into complex shapes. The carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites exhibit excellent fatigue tolerance and high specific strength and stiffness which have led to numerous advanced applications ranging from the military and civil aircraft structures to the consumer products. However, the modelling of the beams undergoin...
متن کاملTopological Mapping for Tension Structures
The “form finding” methods for tension structures may be classified into two different groups: the linear and nonlinear methods. One of the linear methods is the force density method FDM . In this paper advantage is taken of an important property of the FDM by which knowledge of the initial position of the nonfixed nodes of the structure is not needed, only the connectivity of the nodes is nece...

متن کاملSimulating Composite Structures
different physical or chemical qualities — makes them attractive for manufacturing because they are lightweight and high in strength. However, they also pose unique modeling challenges because of their different constituent materials and orientations. The good news is that you can overcome these challenges using the correct tools. Furthermore, composites are being used reliably to solve real-wo...
متن کاملDeployable Soft Composite Structures
Deployable structure composed of smart materials based actuators can reconcile its inherently conflicting requirements of low mass, good shape adaptability, and high load-bearing capability. This work describes the fabrication of deployable structures using smart soft composite actuators combining a soft matrix with variable stiffness properties and hinge-like movement through a rigid skeleton....
