Title: Towards modelling of the frictional behaviour of deforming fibrous tows: A geometrical approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fibrous tows used in continuous fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) deform geometrically during the production of composite products. The cross-sectional geometry of the tow is influenced by the load-induced deformation mechanisms. A study of the effect of two commonly assumed geometrical tow shapes on an equivalent pressure distribution in a tow-on-a-pin spreading arrangement was performed. The preliminary results show that both elliptic and parabolic tow geometries have qualitatively the comparable equivalent pressure distributions.

MULTI FRACTURE/DELAMINATION ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITES SUBJECTED TO IMPACT LOADINGS
A combined finite/ discrete element method is presented for modelling of composite specimens subjected to dynamic/impact loadings. The main task is set on developing an algorithm for simulation of potential bonding and debonding/delamination phenomena during impact or general dynamic loading conditions. In addition, full fracture analysis can also be performed. The proposed approach adopts a ge...

Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) peristaltic flow of a Couple Stress Fluid through a permeable channel is examined in this investigation. The flow analysis is performed in the presence of an External Magnetic Field. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is implemented. Mathematical expressions of axial velocity, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Pressure rise, frictional f...
متن کاملModelling of Stress-Strain Behaviour of Clayey Soils Using Artificial Neural Network
In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...
متن کاملNormal and Parallel Permeability of Preform Composite Materials used in Liquid Molding Processes: Analytical Solution
The permeability of the preform composite materials used in liquid molding processes such as resin transfer molding and structural reaction injection molding is a complex function of weave pattern and packing characteristics. The development of tools for predicting permeability as a function of these parameters is of great industrial importance. Such capability would speed process design and op...
