Buckling behaviour of delaminated composite panels under four-point bending

Compound Bifurcations in the Buckling of a Delaminated Composite Strut

More maths than engineering. Show how simple the model is. Mention the isotropic strut by reference. Focus on the bimaterial strut. Analysis and placement of the bifurcation. Normal form for the bifurcation? Root structure?

Delaminated Film Buckling Microchannels

This chapter describes the method of manufacturing microfluidic microchannels formed by delaminated buckled thin films. Thin films under compression tend to delaminate and buckle. Microchannel geometry can be controlled by tailoring film residual stress and placing patterned adhesion-weakening layers utilizing photolithographic techniques. Results based on the photoresist as the adhesion weaken...

Buckling Analysis of Spherical Composite Panels Reinforced by Carbon Nanotube

In this study, the buckling behavior of moderately thick Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT)-reinforced spherical composite panels subjected to both uniaxial and biaxial loads is examined. The uniform and various kinds of functionally graded distributions of the CNT are considered. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite panels are estimated using the modified rule of mixture. Based on the first-orde...

Local Buckling of Steel Plates in Double Skin Composite Panels under Biaxial Compression and Shear

Steel plates in double skin composite (DSC) panels are restrained by a concrete core and welded stud shear connectors at discrete positions. Local buckling of steel plates in DSC panels may occur in a unilateral mode between stud shear connectors when subjected to combined states of stresses. This paper studies the local and post-local buckling strength of steel plates in DSC panels under biaxi...
