  • A study of compression loading of composite laminates

    Creator:
    Berbinau, Pierre J.
    Abstract:
    The compressive behavior of continuous fiber composites is not as well understood as their tensile behavior because research and industrial applications have until recently focused on the latter. Furthermore, most theoretical and experimental studies on the compression of composites have examined the case of unidirectional specimens with fibers along the...

  • Large-strain softening of aluminum in shear at elevated temperature

    Creator:
    Alhajeri, Saleh N.
    Abstract:
    Pure aluminum deformed in torsion (shear) at elevated temperatures reaches a broad "peak" stress and then undergoes about a 17% decrease in flow stress with deformation to roughly 1-2 equivalent uniaxial strain. Beyond this strain the flow stress is approximately constant. The sources for this softening are unclear. The suggested...

  • Processing of laser interferometric signals for small displacement measurements

    Creator:
    Peng, Gwo-sheng
    Abstract:
    Algorithms for analyzing laser interferometry signals were developed and adopted to the computer based processing of small displacement measurements. These methods, matrix operation approach and fixed parameters approach, are based on signal phase calculation and are able to replace complex fringe counting electronic circuits. The matrix operation provides an approach...
