This work presents an analytical study of the parametric instability cylindrical panels containing functionally graded porous exposed to static and dynamic periodic axial loads under simply supported boundary conditions. Based on Hamilton’s principle, governing equation motion by using first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been obtained. By applying Galerkin technique, excitation freq...

We study delamination in a sandwich panel due to transient finite plane strain elastic deformations caused by local water slamming loads and use the boundary element method to analyze motion of water and the finite element method to determine deformations of the panel. The cohesive zone model is used to study delamination initiation and propagation. The fluid is assumed to be incompressible and...

An experimental program was implemented to investigate the shear transfer mechanism of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) grids and expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam insulation in three wythe precast concrete sandwich wall panels. The purpose research measure flow capacity observe failure mode(s) panels manufactured with a CFRP grid between wythes. Six were examined by push-out tests wh...

Abstract The objective of the study is to evaluate properties plywood made from rubberwood veneers thermally treated at various temperatures. Rotary-peeled were 160, 170, 180, and 190 °C under 1 bar pressure. 5-ply panels produced using melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) resin as binder. Dimensional stability, i.e., water absorption (WA) thickness swelling (TS) well mechanical assessed. results d...

Abstract Timber diaphragms in existing buildings are often too flexible their plane, and can thus potentially cause out-of-plane collapses of walls during earthquakes. A very efficient retrofitting method to increase in-plane stiffness energy dissipation is the overlay plywood panels. However, usual characterization floors by means a general equivalent shear cannot account for nonlinearity diss...
