High-hardness polyurea coated steel plates subjected to combined loadings of shock wave and fragments

Buckling Behavior of Long Symmetrically Laminated Plates Subjected to Combined Loadings

A parametric study is presented of the buckling behavior of in nitely long, symmetrically laminated anisotropic plates subjected to combined loadings. The loading conditions considered are axial tension and compression, transverse tension and compression, and shear. Results obtained using a special-purpose analysis, well-suited for parametric studies, are presented for clamped and simply suppor...

Thermo-mechanical deformation behavior of functionally graded rectangular plates subjected to various boundary conditions and loadings

This paper deals with the thermo-mechanical deformation behavior of shear deformable functionally graded ceramicmetal (FGM) plates. Theoretical formulations are based on higher order shear deformation theory with a considerable amendment in the transverse displacement using finite element method (FEM). The mechanical properties of the plate are assumed to be temperaturedependent and graded in t...

Numerical study of the effect of polyurea on the performance of steel plates under blast loads

We present the results of our numerical simulation of the dynamic response and deformation of 1 m diameter circular DH-36 steel plates and DH-36 steel-polyurea bilayers, subjected to blast-like loads. Different thicknesses of the polyurea are considered and the effect of polyurea thickness on the performance of steel plates under blast loads is investigated. For each polyurea thickness, we have...

MULTI FRACTURE/DELAMINATION ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITES SUBJECTED TO IMPACT LOADINGS

A combined finite/ discrete element method is presented for modelling of composite specimens subjected to dynamic/impact loadings. The main task is set on developing an algorithm for simulation of potential bonding and debonding/delamination phenomena during impact or general dynamic loading conditions. In addition, full fracture analysis can also be performed. The proposed approach adopts a ge...
