Local Delamination Buckling of a Laminated Beam Due to Three-Point Bending

Bending and local buckling of a nanocomposite beam reinforced by a single-walled carbon nanotube

This paper studies the pure bending and bending-induced local buckling of a nanocomposite beam reinforced by a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT). The Airy stress-function method was employed to analyse the deformation of the matrix, and the cross-sectional change of the SWNT in bending was taken into account. A particular consideration was given to the effect of the SWNT s radial flexibility...

A Numerical and Experimental Investigation on Delamination Buckling Behavior in Laminated Composites under Compressive Load

Delamination Buckling Inst ability Near a Circular Hole in Laminated Composite Plates

The motivation for the present study stems from the importance of delamination buckling as a viable mode of failure in laminated composite plates. This part of the study focuses on the prediction of the buckling loads and modes of unilaterally constrained rectangular plates. The laminated plates were modeled along the lines of classical lamination plate theory. Due to the out-of-plane thickness...

Buckling Analysis of Rectangular Laminated Composite Plates With An Edge Delamination Under Compressive Load

The buckling analysis of rectangular laminated composite plates with an edge delamination under in-plane compressive loading is performed using the finite element method. Such a plate may be considered as a simplified model of stiffener plates of a stiffened panel. The buckling load and buckling mode are obtained by solving an eigenproblem. In an unconstrained analysis, physically inadmissible ...

Bending, Buckling and Vibration of a Functionally Graded Porous Beam Using Finite Elements

This study presents the effect of porosity on mechanical behaviors of a power distribution functionally graded beam. The Euler-Bernoulli beam is assumed to describe the kinematic relations and constitutive equations. Because of technical problems, particle size shapes and micro-voids are created during the fabrication which should be taken into consideration. Two porosity models are proposed. T...
