Abstract In order to replace the conventional alloys with bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), studies have been actively conducted investigate mechanical characteristics of BMGs in various aspects. One major ongoing issues is process-related variations key properties such as fracture toughness. Although there still a lack knowledge on how prevent catastrophic failure most BMGs, Griffith’s theory, mod...

General aviation is an important branch of the field. As a green energy aircraft, electric aircraft component and development direction general its safety crucial. In this paper, aerodynamic dynamic characteristics under collision, lightning strikes, icing conditions are studied, kinematics models established by introducing damage factors. The STAR-CCM+ software used to simulate force moment in...

Composite deployable structures are becoming increasingly important for the space industry, emerging as an alternative to conventional metallic mechanical systems in applications. In most cases, life-cycle of these includes a single deployment sequence, once spacecraft is orbit. So long reliability ensured, this fact opens possibility using materials past their elastic regime and, possibly, bey...

Two state-of-the-art analytical compression after impact (CAI) modelling approaches are presented and evaluated for the problem of thin-film buckle-driven propagation a delamination in composite laminates. Characteristic phenomena investigated by evaluating behaviour energy release rate an anisotropic sublaminate above 2D embedded delamination. These characteristics include extension-bend, shea...
