Fig. 3. (a) Geometry and boundary condition for single-edge notched specimen and (b) its microstructure composed of two different materials with high stiffness ratio. (c) Force-displacement curves under tension and (d) crack patterns obtained from anisotropic and hybrid formulations [15]. ...
(2010) are comparable with the figures found for uncompatibilised virgin WPCs. However, it has been noted that the research into the use of waste wood has been eclipsed by the research into the use of postconsumer plastics and recycled particle board (Ormondroyd et al., 2016; Sommerhuber...
Similar reference numerals have been used wherever possible in each of the Figures to denote like components, wherein: FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a lay-up used in accordance with the present invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a lay-up used in...
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The invention can be more fully appreciated with reference to the accompanying figures. FIG. 1A illustrates a world coordinate system with the coordinates X, Y, and Z and a first arrangement of a camera 100 and projection plane 102 upon which is projected a 2D proje...
etc.) contain impurities that can represent different phases of the same material and fit the broad definition of a composite, but are not considered composites because the elastic modulus or strength of the impurity phase is nearly identical to that of the pure material. The definition of a co...
Browse Figures Versions Notes Abstract The fibre–matrix interface plays an important role in the overall mechanical behaviour of a fibre-reinforced composite, but the classical approach to improving the interface through chemical sizing is bounded by the materials’ properties. By contrast, structural...
Browse Figures Versions Notes Abstract The stacking sequence optimization of laminated composite plates while maximizing the structural performance or minimizing the weight is a subject investigated extensively in the literature. Meanwhile, research on the optimization of laminates with cut-outs has been ...
The beam is modeled both by 3-D brick elements and the developed sandwich shell element as depicted by Figures (5) and (6) respectively. The 3-D model consists of two elements for each face and four elements for the core through the thickness. Thirty elements are considered along the ...
2Finite Element Modeling 2.1Assumptions, Control Volume and Boundary Conditions The FE model is developed based on the commercially available FEM software Abaqus v6.11. The geometry and boundary conditions of the model are shown in Figure1. The workpiece material is UD-GFRP. Only a small region ...
The QMEAN composite scoring function includes a torsion angle potential over three consecutive amino acids for the analysis of the local geometry of a model, a solvation potential describing the burial status of the residues and a distance-dependent interaction potentials based on Cβ atoms for the...
