In this paper, buckling of orthotropic rectangular plates under different loadings was investigated. For this reason, governing buckling equations for an isotropic plate were modified by applying constitutive equations of orthotropic materials. After obtaining the equations of orthotropic plates, Generalized Differential Quadrature method (GDQM) was applied on buckling equations and thus a set ...

With the increasing requirements of automotive lightweighting, metal/CFRP laminates are increasingly used. In this paper, Al/CFRP were prepared using an integrated hot press curing method, and optimum conditions determined single-lap shear test at 130 °C for 45 min. The effects fiber lay-up, forming speed, metal layer thickness on bending springback investigated V-shaped Abaqus finite element a...

in this paper, the problem of calculating the stress intensity factor (sif) for an orthotropic thick-walled cylinder with a small radial crack subject to internal pressure is considered. the crack is assumed to be an edge crack on the external radius of the cylinder. the stress intensity factor is calculated by superposition of an uncracked cylinder with uniform stress distribution and a cylind...

Reaction-diffusion computational models of cardiac electrophysiology require both dynamic excitation models that reconstruct the action potentials of myocytes as well as datasets of cardiac geometry and architecture that provide the electrical diffusion tensor D, which determines how excitation spreads through the tissue. We illustrate an experimental pipeline we have developed in our laborator...

a new approach is proposed to model a crack in orthotropic composite media using the extended finite element method (xfem). the xfem uses the concept of partition of unity in addition to meshless basic idea of approximating a field variable by its values at a set of surrounding nodes. as a result, higher order approximations can be designed with the same total number of degrees of freedom. in t...

The conditions that strain energy tensor and necessary condition on the roots of a constitutive equation must be positive definite produces some inequalities. These inequalities reduce the number of Rayleigh waves in orthotropic and transversely isotropic materials. Some earlier published work is found to be erroneous.

The influence of magnetic field on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an inhomogeneous, orthotropic elastic solid medium has been discussed. The method of separation of variable is used to find the frequency equation of the surface waves. The obtained dispersion equations are in agreement with the classical results when magnetic field and non-homogeneity are neglected

A closed-form solution is obtained for the interfacial edge crack between two bonded dissimilar orthotropic strips loaded by antiplane point loading in form of screw dislocation or line force. Conformal mapping and existing dislocation solutions are utilized for constructing the fundamental solution of the problem. The stress intensity factor (SIF) and the energy release rate (ERR) are obtained...
