scholarly journals Effect of Stiffener Size on Ultimate Strength of GFRP Blade Stiffened Composite Plates

The ultimate strength of blade stiffened composite plates with various sizes of the stiffener is studied numerically using ANSYS software. The GFRP stiffened composite plates were modeled in ANSYS as SHELL elements with orthotropic properties. The finite element model of the GFRP stiffened composite plates was analysed to obtain deflection, axial deformation and stress contours and the ultimate load values. The obtained results of the finite element model were validated with that of available experimental data. The validated finite element model was used to study the effect of stiffener size. The stiffener size was varied from 10mm to 100mm. It was observed that smaller size of stiffeners were ineffective in stiffening the plate. The optimum size of stiffener was found to be 50mm to 75 mm. .

Traditionally, potholes are mainly paved for maintenance, and the asphalt mixture needs to be compacted. But due to the construction quality problem, the compacting degree of asphalt mixture may not be enough and the void ratio of asphalt mixture may not meet the requirements, resulting in the premature damage of the potholes after repair. If the repair material can be prefabricated, this problem will be well solved. So, based on the structure form of the prefabricated rapid maintenance of asphalt pavement, this paper aims to determine the most unfavorable loading position in pothole repair, which was established by the ANSYS software with the finite element model. The results show that the most unfavorable loading position of tensile stress for patch materials and joint filling material is C1-1 (A2-2) and the most unfavorable loading position of shear stress for joint filling material and leveling layer is B2-1 and C1-5. Subsequently, the influences of the material modulus, size, thickness, and modulus of the old pavement material on the potholes are calculated by using the finite element model under the most unfavorable loading position.

This paper presents a methodology for extending the use of the beam-shell forming model to predict the structural properties of the composite part. After the forming simulation has been performed, the material definition will be changed such that the beam elements will represent the fiber reinforcements and the shell elements will represent the resin. The methodology behind the entire approach will be demonstrated using a stitched uniaxial glass fabric. The methodology for characterizing the fabric behavior will be discussed. After the part has been formed, it will be infused with resin. The methodology for characterizing the composite behavior will be introduced. The finite element model will be compared with experimental data to validate the methodology.

This paper explores the ultimate strength of the composite floor system of structural steel concrete. ABAQUS, used to research non-linear competencies and ultimate load-carrying capability of such floor systems, developed the Finite Element Model (FEM) in 3-D. A comparison of computed values with experimental results has validated the proposed finite element model. The measured and experimental findings show a good match with an average variation of 10%. In parametric study effects of different sizes of shear studs on the ultimate strength of the floor system have been explored on full size specimens. Results show that an increase in height of the shear stud with the same diameter increases the ultimate strength of the floor system. An Increase in the diameter of the shear stud also increases the ultimate capacity of the floor system.

In this paper the results of a finite element model updating exercise, carried out on closely axisymmetric aeroengine casings, are presented. The correction of the combustion chamber outer casing (CCOC) model is considered and, after assembly with the turbine casing (TC), the quality of the resulting combined model is investigated. The dynamics of both casings is characterized by pairs of close modes, which may be separated by fictitious point mass modifications. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the fictitiously modified CCOC are determined from receptances obtained from the CCOC in its original (unmodified) configuration. The modifications are shown to improve the understanding of both the CCOC and the system formed by connecting the CCOC to the TC. A particular problem is revealed when model updating is applied to the CCOC. An analysis of the mode shapes locates a modelling error on an inner shell of the structure but it is found that the finite element model is unable to be parameterized for the correction of two pairs of wrongly ordered predicted modes. This can only be achieved by firstly correcting the ‘structure’ of the model itself. The main error is found to be a geometrical inaccuracy, and, when this is put right, the sequence of the modes is corrected. Model updating is then applied to the thickness of certain shell elements and the CCOC is found to be in excellent agreement with measured data, as is the complete model formed from the two models of the CCOC and the TC together.

Structural failure of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP) caused by impact is an important factor in product development for the aircraft industry. Therefore it is necessary to obtain knowledge of the mechanisms and of the material loading during and shortly after an impact load. On account of this a Finite-Element-Model was developed with the goal to deduce design rules for impact tolerant composite materials. To verify and validate the Finite-Element-Model it is essential to have information of the state of stress on the surface of the FRP shortly after the impact. An impact test device was developed at the University of Bremen. The time variable, stress and strain conditions in composite plates are measured using photoelastic technique, strain gauges and holographic interferometry.
