in the traditional hole drilling method the in-plane stresses are studied in detail and the interlaminar stresses are not taken seriously. the interlaminar stresses on the free edge of composite materials are important and can cause matrix cracking and delamination. inserting holes in composite laminates causes free edges and it can induce interlaminar shear and normal stresses. in this researc...

applications of thermoplastic composites have developed extensively. the thermoplastic composites in comparison with the thermoset composites have many advantages. thermoplastic composites can be melted and remolded many times. the duration of manufacturing process of these composites is short, producing very tough material, and the welding ability and multiple recyclings are their further adva...

the residual stresses in composite laminates depend on several factors including the conditions of fabricating process, property of materials, direction and lay-ups of the layers. however the thermo-elastic behavior of composite is one of the most important parameters affecting the magnitude of residual stresses. the elastic properties and residual stresses do not remain constant under cyclic t...

plants face many biotic and abiotic stresses at the same time during their growth under field conditions. plants responses toward combined stresses are often more complex than their responses to one type of stress in a way that the results of these responses are called as cross tolerance. this mixture of stresses activates specific models of gene expression that causes special signaling network...

the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

final step of rail manufacturing is cold rolling straightening process and it hassignificant effects on mechanical properties, straightness, flatness and development of residualstresses. measurement of residual stresses after straightening process is obligated by railmanufacturing standards. in the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluateresidual stresses after straightening ...

residual stress measurement has gained interests among researchers for many years due to its great influence on the structural integrity. slitting method is one of the destructive techniques that relies on the introduction of an increasing cut to a part containing residual stresses. similar to all other mechanical strain relief techniques, slitting also suffers from its shortcomings during the ...

the speed of the development and changes of technology is so fast and astonishing that causes the increase of stress and diminishing societies health. there are some factors involved in the creation of the stress. those factors included as the stresses caused by external factors of the organization internal factors of the organization, collective and individual stresses. the relationship betwee...

in this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (cnts) is proposed in detail. the negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of cnts can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. to this end, first, the effects of adding cnts to the matrix of fibrous composi...
