In the present study, fuzzy control of vibration of a hybrid smart composite beam actuated by electro-rheological fluids (ERF) and piezoceramics actuators is investigated. A carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) cantilevered beam containing ERF with bonded piezoceramics is prepared and vibrated forcibly with sinusoidal external excitation. Fuzzy model of controlled element containing two actu...

Laminated glass elements, which consist of stiff elastic glass layers connected with a compliant viscoelastic polymer foil, exhibit geometrically non-linear and time/temperature-sensitive behavior. In computational modeling, the viscoelastic effects are often neglected or a detailed continuum formulation typically based on the volumetric-deviatoric elastic-viscoelastic split is used for the int...

In this paper, a finite element modeling via ABAQUS/Explicit simulation on a novel fabrication miniature composite fuselage structure is presented. The fuselage structure is modeled as a continuum composite layup that consisted of a woven C-glass fiber/epoxy 200 g/m 2 composite laminated [908] with the orthotropic elastic material properties and adhesively bonded butt joint. The adhesively bond...

A layer-wise third order shear and normal deformable plate/shell theory (TSNDT) incorporating a cohesive zone model (CZM) is used to study the initiation and growth of delamination in straight and curved laminated beams. Upon satisfaction of the delamination criteria at a point on the interface between two layers, displacements there of two abutting points on the interface between the two layer...

In this paper, natural frequency and response of forced vibration of composite laminated conical shells under different boundary conditions are investigated. To this end, equations of Donnell's thin shell theory are used as governing equations. The analytical Galerkin method together with beam mode shapes as weighting functions is employed to solve the problem. Due to importance of boundary con...

In this study, the effect of finite strain on bending of the geometrically nonlinear of micro laminated composite Euler-Bernoulli beam based on Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST) is studied in thermal environment. The Green-Lagrange strain tensor according to finite strain assumption and the principle of minimum potential energy is applied to obtain governing equation of motion and boundary c...
