analysis of elastic-plastic behavior of fiber metal laminates subjected to in-plane tensile loading

fiber metal laminates are hybrid laminates consisting of thin alternating bonded layers of aluminum and fiber/epoxy. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) and galare (glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate) are specific kinds of fiber metal laminates that consist of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite layers, respectively. in this study, nonlinear tensile behavio...

Canadian survey of low slope roofs: profile of roof distresses

This paper presents an overview of observed distresses on low slope roofing systems collected for the Building Envelope Life Cycle Asset Management (BELCAM) project. The data include over 14,000 visible distresses from 600 roofs from seven different climatic regions across Canada. The distresses encountered for built up roofs, modified bituminous roofs and a limited number of single-ply roofing...

Numerical Simulation of a Hybrid Nanocomposite Containing Ca-CO3 and Short Glass Fibers Subjected to Tensile Loading

The tensile properties of multiscale, hybrid, thermoplastic-based nanocomposites reinforced with nano-CaCO3 particles and micro–short glass fibers (SGF) were predicted by a two-step, three-dimensionalmodel using ANSYS finite element (FE) software. Cylindrical and cuboid representative volume elements were generated to obtain the effective behavior of the multiscale hybrid composites. In the fir...

A Proposed Method to Evaluate Ultimate Resistance of Plate Girders Subjected to Shear and Patch Loading (RESEARCH NOTE)

Experimental investigation of the ultimate resistance of slender, steel-plate girder web panels to combined shear-and-patch loading indicates significant interaction between shear loading and patch loading. However, an existing interaction formula is based on experimental results. Herein, an improved design procedure for slender plate girders subjected to combined shear and patch loading is pro...
