  • Crack Penetration and Deflection Behavior at Interfaces

    Creator:
    Alam, Mahabub
    Abstract:
    This study computationally and experimentally examines the mechanisms of crack penetration, deflection and the transition between penetration and deflection. The finite element analysis based computational modeling work used strength-and-energy based cohesive-zone approach to study the effect of dimensionless parameters (e.g., interfacial incident angle, fracture-length scale, and normalized toughness) on penetration/deflection...

  • Sensitivity of Hashin damage parameters for notched composite panels in tension and out-of-plane bending

    Creator:
    Wright, Thomas J.
    Abstract:
    When using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to model notched composite panels, the values of certain material properties can have a great effect on the outcome of the simulation. Progressive damage modeling is used to model how a composite structure will fail, and how that failure will affect the response of...

  • Cooling rate limitations in the diffusion bonding of large microchannel arrays

    Creator:
    Lingam, Gopi K.
    Abstract:
    A significant barrier to the diffusion bonding of large (i.e. 600 mm) microchannel devices is the large capital investment required to setup production. This large capital investment extends from long heating and cooling cycles leading to poor production capacities. Empirical studies in industry have shown that cooling rate is limited...
