Multiscale modeling and failure analysis of an 8-harness satin woven composite

Continuum damage mechanics based modeling progressive failure of woven-fabric composite laminate under low velocity impact

A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) meso-model was derived for both intraply and interply progressive failure behaviors of a 2D woven-fabric composite laminate under a transversely low velocity impact. An in-plane anisotropic damage constitutive model of a 2D woven composite ply was derived based on CDM within a thermodynamic framework, an elastic constitutive model with damage for the fibre dir...

Failure Criteria Analysis of Laminate Composite Materials

This paper deals with the development of a numerical simulation methodology for estimating damages in laminate composite materials caused by a low-speed impact. Experimental tests were performed on laminate plates reinforced with woven carbon fibers and epoxy resin. Three thickness plates were evaluated. The impact loads were transversal and punctual. Two lamina failure criteria were evaluated....

Investigation of Acoustic Properties of Satin 7/1 Woven Fabrics Containing Hollow and Micro-porous Yarns

An Active Programmable Harness for Measurement of Composite Network States

In this paper we present the active harness, a scalable and versatile means for deep probing of network local states. The approach makes a clear separation between the “communication” from the “information” part of the probing process. The composition of the “information” component is handled by means of network embedded harness plug-ins. It can facilitate not only a new generation of network a...

Buckling Analysis of Woven Glass Epoxy Laminated Composite Plate

Buckling behavior of laminated composite plates subjected to in-plane loads is an important consideration in the preliminary design of aircraft components. The sizing of many structural subcomponents of the aircraft structures is often determined by stability constraints. The objective of the current study is to understand the influence of the length-to-thickness ratio, the aspect ratio, the fi...
