Physically-based Finite Element Strength Prediction in Notched Woven Laminates under Quasi-static Loading
The present paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in notched woven fabric composites. Previous experimental work has shown that, under tensile loading, damage at a notch in a variety of GFRP and CFRP composites based on woven fabric reinforcement comprises matrix damage and fibre tow fracture along the plane of maximum stress. It is these experimental observations that inform th...
متن کاملProperties of Unidirectional Kenaf Fiber–Polyolefin Laminates
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of kenaf fiber orientation and furnish formulation on the properties of laminated natural fiber–polymer composites (LNPC). The uniaxial fiber orientation provided property enhancement of the LNPC. The randomly oriented kenaf fibers, regardless of fiber contents in the laminates, provided an equal performance compared to the composites ma...
متن کاملExamining the Relationship Between Ballistic and Structural Properties of Lightweight Thermoplastic Unidirectional Composite Laminates
The pursuit for lightweight personal protection (helmets, body armor, etc.) has been a key issue for the Army in recent years. Previous efforts have shown that the variation of orientation and architecture in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composite panels can significantly affect ballistic performance characteristics. In our experiments, an architecture now referred to as “A...
متن کاملScaling of Fracture Strength in Disordered Quasi-Brittle Materials
This paper presents two main results. The first result indicates that in materials with broadly distributed microscopic heterogeneities, the fracture strength distribution corresponding to the peak load of the material response does not follow the commonly used Weibull and (modified) Gumbel distributions. Instead, a lognormal distribution describes more adequately the fracture strengths corresp...
متن کاملCollimated unidirectional laser beams from notched elliptical resonators.
T he whispering gallery is located in the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. If two people stand on opposite sides of the gallery and one of them whispers into the wall, the other can hear his or her words. The reason for this strange effect is that sound bounces along the wall as a surface wave with low loss, and so can be heard far away. This phenomenon, known as whispering gallery mode (...
