  • Evaluation of Abaqus for simulating quasi-static Mode III shear of edge notched carbon fiber reinforced polymer panels

    Creator:
    Hyder, Imran
    Abstract:
    The ability to engineer stiffness and strength in any desired direction make composites an ideal material candidate for various applications when compared to their traditional isotropic counterparts. In spite of this, the ability to model the material response in composites has yet to be fully explored. Composite research largely focuses...

  • Design, analysis, and validation of composite c-channel beams

    Creator:
    Koski, William C.
    Abstract:
    A lightweight carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) c-channel beam was previously designed using analytical theory and finite element analysis and subsequently manufactured through a pultrusion process. Physical testing revealed the prototype did not meet the bending and torsional stiffness of the beam model. An investigation revealed that the manufactured prototype...
