The dynamic delamination in woven glass ®ber reinforced plastic (GRP) composite is studied with a 3D ®nite deformation anisotropic viscoplastic model in conjunction with contact/cohesive laws. The large deformation of the material during impact loading is described through an anisotropic plasticity model in total Lagrangian co-ordinates whose coecients are determined experimentally. The intera...

for a fiber optical surface plasmon resonance (spr) sensor a short part of its cladding should be removed to coat a thin layer of a metal. usually this is problematic when an optical fiber with small core diameter is used. in this paper, a new method using µliter droplet of the hf acid for short fiber optical taper fabrication is reported. using this method in a multi-mode optical fiber with th...
