    Characterization and Modeling of a Fiber-Reinforced Polymeric Composite Structural Beam and Bridge Structure for Use in the Tom's Creek Bridge Rehabilitation Project 

    Hayes, Michael David (Virginia Tech, 1998-12-12)
    <p> Fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) composite materials are beginning to find use in construction and infrastructure applications. Composite members may potentially provide more durable replacements for steel and concrete ...

    Delamination buckling, postbuckling, and growth in axially loaded beam-plates 

    Wolfe, David R. (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1987)
    The purpose of this study is to develop a simple one-dimensional model to analyze axially loaded beam-plates containing cracks which extend through the thickness of the beam-plates. Although the material analyzed is ...

    Effect of fiber morphology on composite properties 

    Knott, Tamara Wright (Virginia Tech, 1988-05-05)
    </p>The effect of the cylindrically orthotropic morphology known to exist in graphite fibers on the effective properties of a composite material was studied using the composite cylinder assemblage model. The cylindrical ...

    A comparison of thermodynamic models for the prediction of phase behavior in aqueous-polymer two-phase systems 

    Benge, G. Gregory (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1986)
    Aqueous-polymer two-phase systems consist of various combinations of water, polymer(s), low molecular weight component(s), and salts. These aqueous-polymer systems are comprised of two phases, each of which contains about ...
