  • An experimental approach to analyze large notched composite panels loaded in out-of-plane shear

    Creator:
    Froemming, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Identifying material characteristics of composites is important in designing any structural system. The aerospace industry relies on these material properties not only to design a functional aircraft, but also a safe and reliable one. Since carbon fiber composites are relatively new materials, little is known about its characteristics under certain...

  • Quantification of total and plastic 3D strain fields within micro-damaged polyurethane foam

    Creator:
    Sutton, Matthew T.
    Abstract:
    Local material damage that occurs within cellular solids, such as polymer foams and trabecular bone, and precedes local fractures of the cell struts or walls is called micro-damage. The accumulation of micro-damage within cellular solids is often undesirable, although it is thought to be vital to the development and health...
