Design of smart composite materials using topology optimization
The topology optimization method is used to find the distribution of material phases that extremizes an objective function (e.g., thermal expansion coefficient, piezoelectric coefficients etc) subject to constraints, such as elastic symmetry and volume fractions of the constituent phases, within a periodic base cell. The effective properties of the material structures are found using a numerica...
متن کاملBending Fatigue Behavior of Smart Glass-fiber Reinforced Vinylester Composite Materials
In recent years, glass-fiber reinforced composite materials are more and more used in structural applications. Their mechanical properties: low density, high strength and high chemical corrosionresistance offer an interesting alternative solution to metallic or concrete material. The pultrusion is a composite material processing technique that is penetrating the civil engineering market since t...
متن کاملModeling and Analysis of Smart Timoshenko Beams with Piezoelectric materials
In the present work, a finite element model is proposed to describe the response of isotropic and orthotropic beams with piezoelectric actuators due to applied mechanical loads as well as electrical load. The assumed field displacements of the beams are represented by First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), the Timoshenko beam theory. The equation of motion of the smart beam system is deri...
متن کاملStructural Health Monitoring of Composite Materials Using Piezoelectric Sensors
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) denotes a system with the ability to detect and interpret adverse " changes " in a structure in order to improve reliability and reduce life-cycle costs. The greatest challenge in designing a SHM system is knowing what " changes " to look for and how to identify them. This paper focuses on the relationship between sensing systems and their ability to detect ch...
متن کاملFiber Bundle Models for Composite Materials
In this paper we will outline the advantages of using fiber bundles in modeling disordered materials. We will present the main aspects of classical fiber bundle models (FBMs) and highlight their ability to capture some essential aspects of composite materials. We then present some extensions of the classical FBM, modifying the way of interaction of fibers, failure law, deformation state and con...
