In this paper, the fracture strength of the surface damaged laminates was predicted by applying the fracture strengths of the unflawed and flawed laminates. For prediction, the theoretical equation about the fracture strength of laminates was simplified applying classical laminate theory and was applied to the surface damaged laminates. Lagace's and Tsai's experimental data were used for verifying the theoretical equation. Moreover, to verify the theoretical prediction, an experiment was performed. Surface unflawed laminate and flawed laminates were fabricated and the experiments were made and these results were compared with theoretical predictions. The specimens' fiber direction was same to the tensile direction and the theoretical predictions and the experimental results were showed good agreement. Therefore, by this equation, the fracture strength of structures made of composites will be able to be predicted when the surface of the structures was damaged.

A simple plane-strain solution is derived in this paper for the functionally graded multilayered isotropic elastic cylinder under static deformation. The solution is obtained using method of separation of variables and is expressed in terms of the summation of the Fourier series in the circumferential direction. While the solution for order n = 0 corresponds to the axisymmetric deformation, that for n = 2 includes the special deformation frequently utilized in the upper and lower bounds analysis. Numerical results for a three-phase cylinder with a middle functionally graded layer are presented for both axisymmetric (n = 0) and general (n = 2) deformations, under either the traction or displacement boundary conditions on the surface of the layered cylinder. The solution to the general deformation case (n = 2) is further utilized for the first time to find the upper and lower bounds of the effective shear modulus of the layered cylinder with a functionally graded middle layer. These results could be useful in the future study of cylindrical composites where FGMs and/or multilayers are involved.

This article identifies and addresses current limitations on the use of numerical models for validation and/or calibration of damage detection methodologies that are based on the analysis of the high frequency response of the structure to identify the occurrence of abrupt anomalies. Distributed-plasticity non-linear fiber-based models in combination with experimental data from a full-scale reinforced concrete column test are used to point out current modeling techniques limitations. It was found that the numerical model was capable of reproducing the global and local response of the structure at a wide range of inelastic demands, including the occurrences of rebar ruptures. However, when abrupt sudden damage occurs, like rebar fracture, a high frequency pulse is detected in the accelerations recorded in the structure that the numerical model is incapable of reproducing. Since the occurrence of such pulse is fundamental on the detection of damage, it is proposed to add this effect to the simulated response before it is used for validation purposes.

An experimental and a non linear finite element investigation on the behavior of steel-concrete composite beams stiffened in hogging moment region with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) sheets is presented in this paper. A total of five specimens were tested under two-point loads. Three of the composite beams included concrete slab while the other two beams had composite slabs. The stiffening was achieved by attaching CFRP sheets to the concrete surface at the position of negative bending moment. The suggested CFRP sheets arrangement enhanced the overall beam behavior and increased the composite beam capacity. Valuable parametric study was conducted using a three dimensional finite element model using ANSYS program. Both geometrical and material nonlinearity were included. The studied parameters included CFRP sheet arrangement, concrete strength and degree of shear connection.

Concrete shear walls are one of the major structural lateral resisting systems in buildings. In some cases, due to the change in the occupancy of the structure or functional requirements like architectural and even mechanical ones, openings need to be provided and installed in structural walls after their construction. Providing these openings may significantly influence the structural behavior of the constructed wall. This paper considers the results of a nonlinear finite element analysis of shear walls with opening strengthened by carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips with different configurations. Details of bond-slip constitutive model of link elements to simulate the connections of FRP strips to concrete surface is presented. The proposed model in this research has been validated using experimental results available in the literature. The results indicated that the proposed configuration of CFRP strips significantly improved the lateral resistance and deformation capacity of the shear walls with opening.

Laboratory tests are conducted to validate the mechanical model of a filament-wound composite shaft. Also, design charts are produced by validated analytical calculations based on the Timoshenko beam model of a layered steel/composite structure. The major results found are that steel/composite hybrid shafts can lead to better dynamic and static performances over steel or pure composite shafts of the same volume, and the most effective composite structures contain some steel in the form of a tubular core. These results can be used in the design process of composite boring bars and automotive drive shafts.

Rubbing-roller is used for manufacturing liquid crystal display, and static displacement of the rubbing-roller becomes bigger as length of the rubbing roller made of aluminum is getting longer. Therefore, material of the rubbing-roller is changed from aluminum to CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced plastic). Recently thermal spraying is applied to manufacturing process of long rubbing-roller. The thermal spraying has disadvantages such as increment of manufacturing time and fraction defective caused by density of stainless steel particle. In this study, fitting process by drawing was suggested and FEM analysis with Tsai-Wu failure theory and fitting experiments are carried out to find adequate shrink allowance. The suggested shrink allowance gives proper adhesive force, and CFRP failure is not occurred. Furthermore, the fitting process is applied to long rubbing-roller and availability of the fitting process is studied by measurement of roundness, straightness and shear strength.

The analytic solution of radial displacements of thin cylindrical pressure vessel with carbon fiber T700/Epoxy orthotropic composites was obtained using equilibrium equations of the orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The governing equations with the simplified strain versus displacement relation of 3-dimensional curvilinear coordinate system were derived from the variational principle and the virtual work principle. Some theoretical analyses were presented and compared with the results of hydraulic tests for the pressure vessels with some various thicknesses. The results of the theoretical analysis and the hydraulic test were reasonably matched.

The goal of this study was to make more efficient use of Ligularia fischeri which has both medical and cooking applications after freezing and drying. We manufactured Sulgidduk containing 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% of Ligularia fischeri powder. Chemical analysis showed that Ligularia fischeri powder contained, 5.77% water, 19.97% crude protein, 1.89% crude fat, 13.12% crude ash, and 9.73% crude fiber. The water content of Sulgidduk to which Ligularia fischeri was added ranged from 37.72~40.20%. As more Ligularia fischeri was added, the L value and 'a' value increased, while the 'b' value did not significantly change. Optimal preference was for a 4% content of added Ligularia fischeri powder. Based on the results of this experiment, Sulgidduk manufactured with added Ligularia fischeri powder showed less hardness than the control group throughout a period of storage, and adequate addition of Ligularia fischeri powder can effectively enhance the storability of Sulgidduk containing Ligularia fischeri.

The differential quadrature method (DQM) is a numerical technique of rather recent origin, which by its continually increasing applications in different problems of engineering, is a competing alternative to the conventional numerical techniques for the solution of initial and boundary value problems. The work of this paper concerns the application of the DQM in the area of the buckling of multi layered orthotropic composite plates with various boundary conditions the buckling of multi layered composite plates with constant and variable thickness under axial compressive static loading is considered. The effects of fiber orientation and boundary conditions on static behavior of composite plates are presented. The comparison of results from the present method and those obtained from NISA II software shows the accuracy and reliability of this method.
