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...

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Tyler M. Froemming for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical
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...
