The high strain-rate constitutive behavior of polymer composites with various natural fibers is studied. Hemp, hemp/glass hybrid, cellulose, and wheat straw-reinforced polymeric have been manufactured, a split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus has designed to measure the dynamic stress–strain response materials. Using apparatus, compressive curves obtained that reveal materials’ characteristics at strain rates between 600 2400 strain/s. Primary findings indicate in thermoset dissipate energy...
The thermo-mechanical analysis of an ultrasonic spot welding process was performed using developed finite element models. Temperature–time histories aluminium specimens during were successfully obtained from the and validated by physical tests. It shown that effect frictional heating on plastic deformation significant should be included in order to achieve good correlation with phenomenon.
The dynamic stability of thin, clamped, composite circular cylindrical shells is studied for combined axial and torsional loading. Each load taken to be har monically varying; the frequencies two loads differ, in general. For case which are commensurate, applied function periodic. equa tions motion shell reduced a system Hill equations by means Fourier series expansions. Instability regions principal combination parametric resonance determined use monodromy matrix. Numerical results...
Abstract The effects of loading rate on bio‐, nano‐, and microcellular composite systems have been studied. Fiber–resin manufactured dynamically tested at various speeds to assess their strain‐rate dependencies (rate hardening) energy‐dissipation characteristics compared conventional materials. following fabricated studied: polypropylene/sisal fiber biocomposite, hemp/vinyl ester thermoplastic olefin/nanoclay composite, composite. It has determined that the biocomposite studied possess...
The free and forced response of spinning, viscoelastic, Rayleigh shafts is studied. Viscoelasticity included using the three parameter solid model. closed form polynomial frequency equation integral expressions for to a general forcing function are derived. A convenient decay described. Results given natural frequencies rates as functions shaft rotation speed, stiffness, viscosity. It found that materials possible which have desirable damping characteristics. case discussed in simultaneous...
