<p>Composite materials are considered here as structural materials of highway bridge superstructures. Bridge deck designs can be done according to <i>AASHTO</i>¹ specification and elastic design concepts. </p><p> ...

Findings made through the indentation testing of composites are presented in this thesis. The concept was developed as an attempt to evaluate the interfacial shear strength at a mesolevel, possibly overcoming the deficiencies ...

Delamination at the free edge is analyzed as a mode of failure for uniaxial compression of postbuckled structural components. Analyses are performed for I-section stiffeners and for a dropped-ply laminate, all of which ...

<p>The response of a flake mat to the mechanical stress applied during consolidation is a function of mat structure, raw material properties and the environmental conditions created during pressing. This research project ...

<p>The objective of this study was to develop a two-dimensional computer model for the simulation of the resin transfer molding/resin film infusion processing of advanced composite materials. This computer simulation model ...

</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 ...
