Development of a combined interface and extended finite element method to predict delamination in composite structures
(2015-12)
For this work, an user-defined element (UEL) in ABAQUS was developed in conjunction with
a triangular traction separation law, as the Cohesive Zone Model, that combines the Extended
Finite Element and Cohesive Element ...
Corrosion behavior of AI-AI2O3 composites in aerated 3.5% chloride solution
(2010)
Aluminum based metal matrix composites are finding many applications in engineering. Of these Al-Al2O3 composites appear to have promise in a number of defense applications because of their mechanical properties. However, ...
Micro damage initiation and progression for isotropic and composites structure using strain invariant failure theory
(2015-09)
In this work, we focus our attention on initiation and progressive damage of isotropic
and composite structures using Strain Invariant Failure Theory (SIFT) at the micro-level.
The stress-based tools are very popular to ...
