Ultrasonic guided waves are used to detect the delamination between skin and honeycomb of a composite helicopter rotor blade. Theoretical work is carried out for guided waves in the trailing edge of a rotor blade, which is a multilayer composite skin/NOMEX half space structure. The dispersion relation is obtained with the global matrix method. Theoretically driven experiments are conducted on a...

Detachment of newborn neurons from the neuroepithelium is required for correct neuronal architecture and functional circuitry. This process, also known as delamination, involves adherens-junction disassembly and acto-myosin-mediated abscission, during which the centrosome is retained while apical/ciliary membranes are shed. Cell-biological mechanisms mediating delamination are, however, poorly ...

Probabilistic edge-delamination strength of a thermosetting polymer composite was studied experimentally in this work. During the procedure, by means of edge-delamination tensile test, the graphite–fiber/epoxy laminate made of unidirectional Toray P7051S-20Q-1000 prepregs with an optimized lay-up of [122/–122/02]S was used for examining its probabilistic distributions of the edge-delamination o...

The presence of thermal mismatch between different materials of plastic IC packages was found to cause reliability and moldability issues such as delamination and warpage phenomenon. Delamination and warpage between the mold compound and die attach adhesive material were evaluated for Quad Flat No-lead (QFN) package. Evaluation was conducted on two set of different materials combination of epox...

in the present research, the effects of delamination size and location on vibration characteristics of laminated composite beams are investigated both analytically and numerically. in the analytical method, the delaminated beam is modeled as four interconnected euler–bernoulli beams and the constrained and free mode models are both simulated. the differential stretching and the bending-extensio...

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is an acquired idiopathic lesion of subchondral bone that can produce delamination and sequestration with or without articular cartilage involvement and instability. The cause of OCD is still debated: the most recognized etiology is the occurrence of repetitive micro-traumas associated with vascular impairment, causing progressive ankle pain and dysfunction in sk...

The various failure mechanisms in bidirectional glass/epoxy laminates loaded in tension are identified using acoustic emission (AE) analysis. AE data recorded during the tensile testing of a single layer specimen are used to identify matrix cracking and fiber failure, while delamination signals are characterized using a two-layer specimen with a pre-induced defect. Parametric studies using AE c...

The present project work deals with the machining of natural fiber composite to study the delamination effect. The natural fiber composite consists of ROYSTONEA(Royal palm fiber) and material has matrix. And this composite has been fabricated by using hand layup method after extracting the fiber by retting method. Drilling operation has been carried out on the fabricated composite by using CNC ...
