On the Linear Viscoelasticity of Thin-Walled Laminated Composite Beams
نویسنده
چکیده
An analytical model to predict the linear viscoelastic behavior of thin-walled laminated fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) composite beams is presented. Using the correspondence principle, this new model integrates micro/macro-mechanics of composites and mechanics of thin-walled laminated beams to perform beam. analyses in the Laplace or Carson domains. The analytical expressions for beam relaxation coefficieQts are obtained. Using a collocation method, the flexural creep behavior of beams in the time domain is numerically solved. Predictions by the present model are compared favorably with experimental data for glass fiber-reinforced plastic structural laminates under tension and a box-beam under bending. The influence of beam fiber architecture and fiber volume fraction on the linear viscoelastic response for a wide-flange beam is examinedto show that this model can be efficiently used in the flexural creep analysis and design of FRp· structural shapes. *Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.

متن کاملNon-linear behaviour of thin-walled open section composite beams in lateral stability
An analytical study along with a numerical investigation is conducted to determine the lateral buckling strength of thin-walled open-section I shape composite beams. Based on Vlasov-type linear hypothesis beam stiffness coefficients, which account for a cross section geometry and material anisotropy of the section, are obtained. In this study the axial and bending coupling terms ( A,, , A,, , D...
