Nonlinear laminate analysis for metal matrix fiber composites [PDF]
A nonlinear laminate analysis is described for predicting the mechanical behavior (stress-strain relationships) of angleplied laminates in which the matrix is strained nonlinearly by both the residual stress and the mechanical load and in which ...

Surface protection of graphite fabric/PMR-15 composites subjected to thermal oxidation [PDF]
, 1985 Graphite fabric/PMR-15 laminates develop matrix cracks during long-term exposure in air at temperatures in the range of 500 to 600 F. This study was performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of incorporating graphite mat surface plies as a means of ...

Effect of intra-ply voids on the homogenized behavior of a ply in multidirectional laminates [PDF]
, 2018 This work focuses on the effect of intra-ply voids on the homogenized nonlinear behavior of a ply in multidirectional composites. Voids were modeled explicitly on the fiber scale and linked to the ply-scale by the recently developed two-scale framework ...
