Laminated magnetoelectric composites of Li0.058(Na0.535K0.48)0.942NbO3 (LKNN)/Co0.6Zn0.4Fe1.7Mn0.3O4 (CZFM) prepared by the conventional solid-state sintering method were investigated for their dielectric, magnetic, and magnetoelectric properties. The microstructure of the laminated composites indicates that the LKNN phase and CZFM phase can coexist in the composites. Compared with the particul...

Laminated composite plates are widely used in modern structures. Resins of composites are almost made of polymers which show time dependent and and in some cases stress dependent behaviour. In this paper, a laminated composite plate is analysed using a multiscale method. At first, material properties of a lamina is obtained using an analytical micromechanical approach called simplified unit cel...

Despite the long history of the use of laminated glass in buildings there is concern with some architects on the potential for serious delamination issues with laminated glass. This paper provides test data on the edge stability of laminated glass and details various types of delamination problems, which can arise if proper glass processing and installation practices are not followed. Guidance ...

A multi-scale method to predict the stiffness and stability properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced laminates has been developed. This method is used in the prediction of the buckling behavior of laminated carbon nanotube-polyethylene composites formed by stacking layers of carbon nanotube-reinforced polymer with the nanotube alignment axes of each layer oriented in different directions. Linki...

A laminated composite plate element with an interface description is developed using the finite element approach to investigate the bending performance of two-layer cross-ply laminated composite plates in presence of a diagonally perturbed localized interfacial degeneration between laminae. The stiffness of the laminate is expressed through the assembly of the stiffnesses of lamina sub-elements...

As focus is drawn toward more sustainable construction practices, use of bamboo as a structural building material is growing as a topic of interest. It is highly renewable, has low-embodied energy, and has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of steel, concrete, and timber. Composite lumber made from bamboo, termed laminated bamboo lumber (LBL), has gained the particular interest of researchers...

Delamination is one of the most common failure modes in composite structures. In particular, when the laminated composites are subjected to compressive loads, delamination becomes a constraint in the design process. In this study, the system is modeled as a plate supported by an elastic foundation. The elastic adhesive layer between the buckled sublaminates is represented by some parallel sprin...

The inhomogeneous Li electrodeposition of lithium metal electrode has been a major impediment to the realization of rechargeable lithium metal batteries. Although single ion conducting ionomers can induce more homogeneous Li electrodeposition by preventing Li(+) depletion at Li surface, currently available materials do not allow room-temperature operation due to their low room temperature condu...

With the increasing applications of laminated composites in all kinds of industries, it becomes imperative to detect delamination, a frequently occurring damage which causes substantial stiffness loss in composite structures. This paper presents an approach to assess delaminations (in terms of their size, in-plane location and interface) in fibre reinforced laminated composite plates using natu...

In this paper, an equivalent temperature model of 3-D steady heat conduction analysis for a fiber metal laminated plate coated with thermal barrier is presented. The separate variable method and are applied comprehensively to solve the field at interface between top aluminum 2024-T3 layer structure firstly, values other layers? contact resistance obtained based on balance principle flux respect...
