Three-dimensional, nonlinear viscoelastic analysis of laminated composites : a finite element approach

Creator:

Wang, Min

Abstract:

Polymeric composites exhibit time-dependent behavior, which raises a concern about their long term durability and leads to a viscoelastic study of these materials. Linear viscoelastic analysis has been found to be inadequate because many polymers exhibit nonlinear viscoelastic behavior. Classical laminate theory is commonly used in the study of laminated...

A simplified dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during step initiation

Creator:

Mallysetty, Venkata Ramana

Abstract:

This thesis investigates a simple dynamic model of the hind leg of a beetle during initiation of a step. The primary assumption was that the full load of the body was carried on the hind leg during this time. That is, the only forces on the body were that of...
