Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out to study the temperature effect on the stiffness, strength, and failure behaviors of carbon/polyimide composite laminates. Both unnotched laminates and open-hole laminates were tested under tension load at three temperatures (room temperature, 200 ℃, and 250 ℃). A three-dimensional finite element analysis was carried out to study the thermomechanical coupling behavior in the notched laminate. The model considers each layer and interface as a single element in the thickness direction so that in-plane stress and interlaminar stress could be analyzed in the model. The stresses around the open-hole changing characteristics with the temperature and tensile loading have been discussed in detail. Failure analysis was carried out to predict the residual strength of the notched laminates at different temperatures. Compared to the experimental data, the numerical results have an excellent agreement.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a recently developed analytical model [1] which determines the interlaminar stress distributions around a circular hole in symmetric composite laminates under in-plane tensile loading. For this purpose, a three-dimensional finite element analysis is performed and the stress distributions for symmetric cross-ply laminates are presented This work is relevant to the prediction of delamination onset load and location around the discontinuity.

This paper is intended to present a study of elastic-damaged behaviour of symmetrical composite laminates with edge delamination cracks subjected to uniformly applied uniaxial tensile load. The response of composite laminates is investigated by a quasi-three-dimensional finite element analysis including the damage characterization of constituent plies. Of principal concern are the effects of edge delamination cracks as well as the influence of damage on stress distributions in graphite/epoxy [0/90°]s, [90/0°]s and [±45°], laminates. The computed results between the behaviours of laminates with stiffness damage consideration and those of geometrically similar laminates without stiffness damage are compared and the significance of damage in stress analysis of fibre-reinforced composite materials is elucidated.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
