  • 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...

  • A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

    Creator:
    Lee, Chyuan-shen
    Abstract:
    A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...
