Characterization of thermo-mechanical and long-term behaviors of multi-layered composite materials (2009-06-02)This study presents characterization of thermo-mechanical viscoelastic and long-term behaviors of thick-section multi-layered fiber reinforced polymer composite materials. The studied multi-layered systems belong to a class ...
-
(2015-10-09)Bodies are prestressed with the intention to enhance their load carrying capacity. The primary objective of this study is to understand the effect of prestressing the constituents in composite bodies on the overall mechanical ...
-
(2022-08-25)We present a study on the role of elasticity in causing fingering or fracturing instability during the immiscible displacement process of a viscoelastic fluid by another viscoelastic fluid in a rectilinear Hele-Shaw cell. ...
-
(2013-08-26)This dissertation is devoted to the virtual investigation of the mechanical behavior of micro/nano polymer composites (MNPCs). Advanced composite materials are favored by the automotive industry and army departments for ...
-
(2012-07-16)Modeling of the time-dependent behavior of cement paste has always been a difficulty. In the past, viscoelastic behavior of cementitious materials has been primarily attributed to the viscoelastic properties of C-S-H ...
-
(2009-05-15)A recursive-iterative algorithm is developed for predicting nonlinear viscoelastic behaviors of isotropic materials that belong to the thermorheologically complex material (TCM). The algorithm is derived based on implicit ...
-
(2013-08-09)This study presents a combined viscoelastic (VE)-viscoplastic (VP) analysis for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites subject to simultaneous mechanical load and conduction of heat. The studied FRP composites consist ...
-
(2010-10-12)This thesis presents a continuum model for asphalt concrete incorporating non- linear viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, mechanically-induced damage and moisture- induced damage. The Schapery single-integral viscoelastic ...
