  • 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...

  • Dynamic finite element analysis of micropolar elastic materials

    Creator:
    Kim, Jong-bum, 1960-
    Abstract:
    In granular or fibrous materials, in which the dimensions of the internal structure can be of the same order of magnitude as major flaws or holes, classical elasticity theory does not consistently provide accurate models of the large stress gradients that may develop. With the incorporation of additional rotational degrees...
