Dynamic performance characteristics of an innovative Hybrid Composite Floor Plate System under human-induced loads

Finite Element Delamination Study of a Notched Composite Plate under Flexural Loads - André Nilsson Asp

The delamination process in notched composite plates under flexural loading has been investigated using finite element analysis. Cohesive elements implemented in the commercial finite element package ABAQUS have been used in the region around the drilled-hole, and positioned between layers where delamination was observed during experiments presented in an accompanying paper. The delamination in...

Dynamic Response of Single Piles Under Lateral Loads and Earthquakes

Experimental and numerical crashworthiness investigation of hybrid composite aluminum tubes under dynamic axial and oblique loadings

This research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. Axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. A drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. Furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experim...

A Penalty Function-Based Dynamic Hybrid Shop Floor Control System

To cope with dynamics and uncertainties, a novel penalty function-based hybrid, multi-agent shop floor control system is proposed in this dissertation. The key characteristic of the proposed system is the capability of adaptively distributing decisionmaking power across different levels of control agents in response to different levels of disturbance. The subordinate agent executes tasks based ...
