Experimental moment resistance of rectangular hollow section T joints

Elastic-Plastic Analysis of Bending Moment – Axial Force Interaction in Metallic Beam of T-Section

This study derives kinematic admissible bending moment – axial force (M-P) interaction relations for mild steel by considering elastic-plastic idealizations. The interaction relations can predict strains, which is not possible in a rigid perfectly plastic idealization. The relations are obtained for all possible cases pertaining to the locations of neutral axis. One commercial rolled steel T-se...

Experimental Investigation of Mixing in a rectangular cross-section Micromixer

Approximate R.F. Resistance of Rectangular Cross Section Conductors

Small loop antennas such as the AEA-Isoloop sometimes use rectangular cross section conductors, and sometimes use circular cross section tubing for the antenna element. In these antennas, resistive losses are important in determining the efficiency. Here, I approximately calculate the resistance of rectangular cross section elements. For design purposes my results can be summarized by the equat...

Experimental and Finite Element Investigations of Damage Resistance in Biomimetic Composite Sandwich T-Joints

Composite sandwich structural joints, such as T-joints, are used in many different composite applications to transfers the load orthogonally between two sandwich elements. However, these joints connecting the sections can represent the weakest link in sandwich composite structures due to the lack of reinforcement in the out-of-plane direction. Therefore, this paper presents a new methodology fo...

An Experimental Study on the Tensile Behaviors of Ultrasonic Welded T-joints for Polyamide Composite

In this paper, an experimental investigation on ultrasonic welding of polyamide composites reinforced with glass fiber has been carried out. The effect of ultrasonic welding parameters, such as welding time, air pressure, hold time and the amount of glass fiber in the composite on tensile strength of weld joints were determined using response surface methodology. This methodology was applied fo...
