This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy to predict the shear stress distribution. Given a definition of the Tsallis entropy, it is maximized by using the probability density function, which then is used to attain a novel shear stress equation. This is then employed for calculating the shear stress distribution in rectangular channels in different aspect ratios and finally, for viability, th...

Pressure vessels are subjected to stresses in axial and radial directions during their service life, which causes undesirable damages. For that reason, it is highly important design the fiber composite overwrapped pressure such a way can carry loads occurring both directions. In this context, with 20 mm polar opening radii were designed geodesic dome profile was obtained by solving elliptic int...

Three novel Bouligand inspired composites were produced by vacuum bag infusion manufacturing process and their quasi-static mechanical performance compared to a conventional aircraft laminate. A morphologic/physical study was first conducted for all configurations response under tensile, three-point bending (3-PB) interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests then evaluated discussed. No significant...

This study focuses on mechanical characterization of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates with non-treated and treated multiwalled nanotubes (CNTs) using nitric acid. The CNTs were acid to obtain carboxylic functional group. epoxy resins are mixed 0.3%wt at a constant mixing speed 2000 rpm times varied from 24 96 h. Laminates show an increase in the flexural strength by 17.4 15.3% h...
