...Hong-Xia Wang; Samuel W. Chung A plate structure of a triangular truss core sandwiched by two panels is treated as an equivalent homogeneous laminated plate by obtaining equivalent anisotropic elastic constants. The equivalent elastic constants are obtained by considering generalized Hook’s law...

... from a composite to a metal/composite interface. During the test, the digital image correlation technique was applied to capture the strain field around the crack tip. The results suggested that a hybrid metal-wire/composite laminate would be effective to connect a composite structure to a metallic...

...Chihdar Yang; Zhidong Guan An analytical model was developed using the first-order laminated shell theory to determine stress and strain distributions within a composite pipe joint under combined torsional and tensile loading. Due to the axisymmetric nature of torsional and tensile loads about...

... rubber is proposed based on following two assumptions. 1 Strain energy of the high damping rubber material are stored into only rubber component and not stored filler such as carbon black. 2 Horizontal loading test results of laminated rubber bearing without vertical load is approximated...

...Nobuo Masaki; Shigenobu Suzuki We conducted the measurement of restoring force characteristics of laminated rubber bearings under various restraining conditions. In the experiment, we provided three laminated rubber bearings with various second shape factors S 2 = 3 , 4 , 4.94 . The restoring force...
