Creator:: Tingley, Dan A., (Daniel Arthur), 1954-
Abstract:: The reinforcement of wood and wood composite structural products to improve their mechanical properties has been in practice for many years. Recently, the use of high-strength fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) as a reinforcement in such applications has been commercialized. The reinforcement is manufactured using a standard pultrusion process or alternatively a...

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...

Creator:: Silva Guzman, Jose Antonio
Abstract:: This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...

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...

Creator:: Nahan, Matthew F.
Abstract:: Design of commercial aircraft structure, composed of composite material, requires the prediction of failure loads given large scale damage. In particular, a fuselage of graphite/epoxy lamination was analyzed for damage tolerance given a standard large crack that severed both skin and internal structure. Upon loading, a zone of damage is...

Creator:: Arias Gonzales, Sergio
Abstract:: Ever since composite laminate technology was introduced into the aerospace and automotive industry, there has been a need to fully understand the damage progression experienced by composite laminated plates in the presence of a notch. While numerous research studies have been conducted on this matter when subjected to in-plane loads,...

Creator:: Chansawat, Kasidit
Abstract:: The Horsetail Creek (HC) bridge is an example of an Oregon bridge that was classified as structurally deficient and was not designed to withstand earthquake (EQ) excitations. A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rehabilitation was performed on the HC bridge to increase flexural and shear capacities for traffic loads. However, a seismic...
