Finite Element Analysis and Design Improvement of Aerospace Composite Hinges
(2018-08-13)
Hinges are the most commonly used mechanical bearings to connect 2 objects for relative rotational motion. Modern day aerospace hinges are generally made using either Aluminum, Steel or bronze. The study analyzes the use ...
Investigation on Metal-Composite Hybrid Flywheels using Finite Element Method
(2018-01-08)
This research is aimed to investigate the kinetic energy storage of a hybrid metal-composite flywheel rotating at high speeds. The upper limit of energy, which flywheel can supply, is restricted by the strength of material ...
A MICROMECHNICS APPROACH TO PREDICTING THE ONSET YIELDING ENVELOPE OF PARTICULATE COMPOSITE MATERIALS
(2018-01-05)
Composite materials fail for various reasons and extensive research has been conducted both experimentally and theoretically. However, theoretical prediction of composite failure by yielding seems scarce. Adding reinforcing ...
Finite Element Analysis of Composite Reactor Pressure Vessel
(2018-05-16)
Reactor Pressure Vessel is the container designed to hold gases or liquids above atmospheric pressure. The focus of this study is to develop Finite Element Model to predict the performance of composite reactor pressure ...
FEA OF CARBON COMPOSITE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR STEEL (A992) IN CASE OF SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR HOLLOW CROSS-SECTIONS AS BEAMS AND COLUMNS
(2018-05-16)
Improvement to an existing design is an ongoing and never-ending process in every field. The improvement can be in a myriad of areas like an increase in strength, reduction in weight, stiffness to a loading condition and ...
INVESTIGATION ON EFFECTIVE MODULUS AND STRESS CONCENTRATION FACTOR OF 3D REINFORCED COMPOSITE BY FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS METHOD
(2018-05-24)
Micromechanics of Composites aims to analyze the localized stresses inside any
given constituents of the composite structure. This Thesis is focused on Calculating the
effective modulus and the Stress concentration factor ...
Comparison of Cross-Sectional Profiles for Side Impact Crash Structure in Passenger Vehicle
(2018-05-16)
Car’s safety is most important structural criteria while designing an automotive chassis. To protect the occupants from a direct impact, the passenger cabin and the structure of the vehicle should have an appropriate ...
STRENGTH AND DAMAGE PROGNOSIS OF ADHESIVE BOND AND INTER-PLY HYBRID COMPOSITES BASED ON DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES
(2018-01-10)
Composite materials have found their applications in a wide range of industries particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. This is because they are comparatively light-weight and provide a much better corrosion ...
