The paper presents a finite element formulation for analysis of 3D framed structures with thin-walled laminated composite cross-sections, using co-rotational approach. considers the effects large displacements on response space frames subjected to conservative and static external loads. Classical lamination theory thin fiber-reinforced laminates has been employed. Stability is performed in load...

We define a laminar branched surface to be a branched surface satisfying the following conditions: (1) Its horizontal boundary is incompressible; (2) there is no monogon; (3) there is no Reeb component; (4) there is no sink disk (after eliminating trivial bubbles in the branched surface). The first three conditions are standard in the theory of branched surfaces, and a sink disk is a disk branc...

Residual stresses are balanced, non-uniform, undesirable, and often harmful in laminated polymer composite materials. Different methods developed to measure these composites. In this manuscript, three experimental measurement methods, namely ‘hole drilling’, ‘slitting’, ‘curvature’ considered, the results compared with those of classical lamination theory (CLT). It is demonstrated that hole dri...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present a plane-stress damage model based on the Classical Lamination Theory (CLT), developed for polymer fibre-based composite. proposed numerical utilises mechanics methodology coupled with fracture predict composite failure, particularly under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. In addition, constitutive equations consider single secant modulus describe it...

One of Thurston’s important contributions to surface theory is his construction of measured lamination spaces. These spaces originally arose because their projectivizations form natural boundaries for Teichmüller spaces, but they are also of interest purely topologically. For example, they provide a nice global framework in which to view all the isotopy classes of simple closed curves in a surf...

A novel semi analytical method is developed for transient analysis of single-lap adhesive joints with laminated composite adherends subjected to dynamical loads. The presented approach has the capability of choosing arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. In this model, adherends are assumed to be orthotropic plates that pursuant to the classical lamination theory. Stacking sequences can be...

Abstract. We consider statistical mechanics systems defined on a set with some symmetry properties (namely, the set admits an action by a group, which is finitely generated and residually finite). Each of the sites has a real order parameter. We assume that the interaction is ferromagnetic as well as symmetric with respect to the action of the symmetry group as well as invariant under the addit...

We define an ending lamination for a Weil-Petersson geodesic ray. Despite the lack of a natural visual boundary for the Weil-Petersson metric [Br2], these ending laminations provide an effective boundary theory that encodes much of its asymptotic CAT(0) geometry. In particular, we prove an ending lamination theorem (Theorem 1.1) for the full-measure set of rays that recur to the thick part, and...
