.../epoxy and glass/epoxy laminated composites as well as a steel specimen, the distribution of released strains on the top and the back surfaces due to the shear stresses is calculated using finite element method and compared with those due to the residual normal stress. The results show that on the back...

...S. Nakhodchi; B. G. Thomas; D. J. Smith Residual stresses in a stainless steel vessel containing glass have been evaluated using measurements and numerical simulation. High-level nuclear wastes are often vitrified in glass cast in cylindrical stainless steel containers. Knowledge of the internal...

...Subrata B. Ghosh; Deepayan Bhowmik; Russell J. Hand; Frank R. Jones Many rubber products are reinforced with glass fibers to give dimensional stability, high modulus, and good fatigue life. To understand failure of these products, it is essential to understand the failure and strength degradation...

...Yasuhide Shindo; Daiki Shinohe; Susumu Kumagai; Katsumi Horiguchi This paper presents results from an analytical and experimental study of the effect of temperature and mixed-mode ratio on the interlaminar fracture toughness in glass-cloth∕epoxy laminates. Mode I, mode II, and mixed-mode tests were...

... and analytical models are then developed in an effort to explain the observed contact-induced deformation of the composite multilayered system. Our results suggest that: viscous deformation of the join and foundation layers can give rise to increased tensile stresses in the top elastic layers (glass or zirconia...

... distribution of voids in composites manufactured by resin transfer molding (RTM) remains limited. In this study, through-the-thickness void distribution for a disk-shaped, E-glass/epoxy composite part manufactured by resin transfer molding is investigated. Microscopic image analysis is conducted through...

...Y. Shindo, Professor; K. Horiguchi, Research Associate; R. Wang, Associate Professor,; H. Kudo, Graduate Student, An experimental and analytical investigation in cryogenic Mode I interlaminar fracture behavior and toughness of SL-E woven glass-epoxy laminates was conducted. Double cantilever beam...
