Fatigue Resistance of Composite Fibre-metal Laminates Subjected to Impact Loading

GLARE (GLAss REinforced) belongs to a family of fibre-metal laminates currently being used as a skin material for the upper and side shells in the forward and rear fuselage body of A380. This composite material consists of thin layers of aluminium sheets and unidirectional prepreg layers of glass fibres embedded into an epoxy based matrix. GLARE demonstrates excellent resistance to fatigue crac...

Centrifuge modelling of long piles subjected to lateral loading with high load eccentricity in sand

In this research paper, five centrifuge lateral loading tests of long piles with a considerable load eccentricity were carried out in the sand to investigate the impacts of the load eccentricity and pile length changes on the lateral behavior of a flexible pile beside the determination of experimental p-y curves. Comparing experimental test results with the recommended API (American Petroleum ...

analysis of elastic-plastic behavior of fiber metal laminates subjected to in-plane tensile loading

fiber metal laminates are hybrid laminates consisting of thin alternating bonded layers of aluminum and fiber/epoxy. arall (aramid aluminum laminate) and galare (glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminate) are specific kinds of fiber metal laminates that consist of thin aluminum sheets along with kevlar/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite layers, respectively. in this study, nonlinear tensile behavio...

Prediction of Deformation of Circular Plates Subjected to Impulsive Loading Using GMDH-type Neural Network

In this paper, experimental responses of the clamped mild steel, copper, and aluminium circular plates are presented subjected to blast loading. The GMDH-type neural networks (Group Method of Data Handling) are then used for the modelling of the mid-point deflection thickness ratio of the circular plates using those experimental results. The aim of such modelling is to show how the mid-point de...
