Numerical modelling of layered composite struts

Multi-scale modelling of 3D multi-layered braided composite tubes

The mechanical behavior of 3D multi-layered braided composite tubes was analyzed using a multi-scale modelling approach. Considering the braiding parameters and the fiber volume fraction of the composite tubes, firstly a unit-cell of the composites was determined based on the motion of yarn carriers and modeled using TEXGEN software. The unit-cell was imported into finite element software to ca...

Two-dimensional layered composite photocatalysts.

Two-dimensional (2D) layered nanostructure composites are promising candidates for conducting high-performance energy conversion and environmental remediation. The construction of 2D layered composite photocatalysts can generate many unique properties that do not exist in other kinds of semiconductor composite photocatalyst, which are beneficial for photocatalytic performance enhancement, band ...

Numerical Modelling of the Segmental Lining of Underground Structures

There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...

Numerical modelling of induced rip currents by discontinuous submerged breakwaters

Submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. Any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. In this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.To investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...
