چکیده

In this presentation, the structural performance of fiber reinforced composite laminate Pi joints is studied through a progressive failure analysis (PFA) method. The bonded joint area that is the weakest link of the Pi joint structure is modeled using the discrete cohesive zone method (DCZM). The damage growth and failure of the bonded interface is modeled through an exponential decaying traction-separation law that governs the behavior of DCZM elements. This interface model is implemented into a non-linear finite element (FE) code for modeling the progressive failure of the composite Pi joint structures. The present PFA framework is incorporated with a probabilistic analysis module to consider material variability and manufacturing inconsistencies. The proposed PFA methodology is demonstrated for a 2D Pi-shaped laminate composite structure adhesively bonded through a Pi joint, and subjected to a pull-off load.

Cement-Implant Interface Fracture Failure by Crack Initiation Due to Interface Cavity Stress Concentration

Nowadays total joint replacements are widely used in the world, so in average 800,000 joint surgeries are done yearly only in Europe and North America. However implant loosening is and remains as the major issue of all implant failures and therefore causes revision surgery procedures. Studies and experiments have identified poor fixation of implants most likely is the main cause of long term im...

Numerical probabilistic analysis for slope stability in fractured rock masses using DFN-DEM approach

Due to existence of uncertainties in input geometrical properties of fractures, there is not any unique solution for assessing the stability of slopes in jointed rock masses. Therefore, the necessity of applying probabilistic analysis in these cases is inevitable. In this study a probabilistic analysis procedure together with relevant algorithms are developed using Discrete Fracture Network-Dis...

Probabilistic and Possibilistic Analyses of the Strength of a Bonded Joint

The effects of uncertainties on the strength of a single lap shear joint are explained. Probabilistic and possibilistic methods are used to account for uncertainties. Linear and geometrically nonlinear finite element analyses are used in the studies. To evaluate the strength of the joint, fracture in the adhesive and material strength failure in the strap are considered. The study shows that li...

Developing a 3D stochastic discrete fracture network model for hydraulic analyses

Fluid flow in jointed rock mass with impermeable matrix is often controlled by joint properties, including aperture, orientation, spacing, persistence and etc. On the other hand, since the rock mass is made of heterogeneous and anisotropic natural materials, geometric properties of joints may have dispersed values. One of the most powerful methods for simulation of stochastic nature of geometri...
