Wound Composite

Closed-form solutions from complementary strain energy are derived for the spring stiffnesses of mid-surface symmetric, filament-wound, composite circular rings under unidirectional loading. A three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) including the effects of transverse shear has also been applied to study the problem. Four > 45° and four > 75° E-glass/epoxy composite rings of odd numbers of covers were tested. Comparisons of the results obtained from the two methods with experimental data are made and the results are found to be in good agreement. The FEA prediction of stiffness is always higher than the theoretical result. The relationships between the spring stiffnesses and the winding angles and geometry of the filament-wound composite ring are considered and discussed.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

In this paper a three-dimensional finite element analysis employed to predict thermal residual stresses field which arises during the cooling stage at the free edges of a thick walled filament wound cylinder with cross-ply lamination. The inner radius of composite is 50 mm and outer radius is 75 mm and the thickness of steel mandrel is 3 mm. The results showed that the radial stresses near the free ends of the cylinder increased two times compared to radial stresses in the middle of the cylinder and interlaminar shear stresses exceeded 6 MPa close to the free edges.Thus, a two-dimensional stress analysis does not fully reflect the complex state of stress of thick-walled cross-ply filament wound cylinders.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

The main objective of this article is to introduce exact analytical closed-form solutions for the prediction of effective transverse Young’s modulus and Poisson ratio of a matrix-filled nanotube (i.e., a representative element of nanotube-based nanocomposites), as well as its mechanical behavior, when subjected to external loads. In this work, both the nanotube and its filler were considered to be generally cylindrical orthotropic. To ensure no loss of generality, the no plane strain condition was used, and the axial strain was taken into consideration to obtain a more precise set of solutions. Analytical formulae were developed based on the well-established principles of linear elasticity and continuum mechanics, considering effective orthotropic properties for both constituents as continuum tubes. To validate and verify the accuracy of the closed-form solutions obtained from the analytical approach, a three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed, and results were compared to those obtained from the analytical exact solutions. Excellent agreement was achieved, and the analytically obtained solutions were verified.

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.
