Meso-structure-based thermomechanical modelling of thermoplastic-based laminates subjected to combined mechanical loading and severe thermal gradients

A Macroscopic Finite Element for a Symmetric Double Lap Joint Subjected to Mechanical and Thermal Loading

A thermo-mechanical analytical model and a corresponding macroscopic bonded joint finite element is presented for the analysis of orthotropic double lap joints subjected to combined thermal-mechanical loads. The analytical solution offers an improvement in accuracy over its predecessor, at the cost of increased solution complexity. However, to facilitate the use of this solution, it has been in...

Centrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

Thermal and Morphological Properties of Thermoplastic Elastomer Nanocomposites Based on PA6/NBR

Fatigue Life Assessment of Composite Airplane Wing Subjected to Variable Mechanical and Thermal Loads

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the fatigue life of an airplane wing with laminated composite skin, subjected to variable mechanical and thermal loads. To achieve this aim,at first, the three-dimensional model of airplane wing was drawn in CATIA software. Then, by transferring the model to the ABAQUS software, the finite element model of the wing wascreated. H...

task-based instruction, consciousness-raising and iranian efl learners acquisition and use of collocation

the present study sought to examine whether a task-based approach could have an impact on raising awareness of collocations. moreover, it sought to investigate the facilitative role of consciousness-raising tasks of collocations in the communicative instances of use. to this end, 68 intermediate learners of english were selected via a placement test. the participants were taught with classroom ...
