Bonding Strength Characteristics of FRP Cylindrical Composites Under Hygrothermal LoadingBy Kunal Pradhan, T. Malyadri, G. Srinivasa Gupta
Abstract: This study investigates the bonding strength characteristics and stress distribution patterns in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) cylindrical composites subjected to hygrothermal loading conditions. A four-phase cylindrical model incorporating AS-Graphite and S-Glass fibers with low modulus epoxy coating was analyzed under four distinct pressure loading conditions (25.984, 38.976, 77.953, and 155.906 MPa). Comprehensive stress analysis revealed significant variations in von-Mises stress, maximum principal stress, and minimum principal stress across fiber, coating, matrix, …

Free Vibration Analysis of Circular Perforated Laminated PlatesBy M. L. Pavan Kishore, K. Manohar Reddy, M. Avinash, G. Srinivasa Gupta
Abstract: This study investigates the free vibration characteristics of circular perforated laminated composite plates. A finite element model is created to analyze the effects of perforation patterns, hole sizes, and laminate configurations on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of these structures. The model incorporates shear deformation theory and accounts for the anisotropic nature of composite materials. Parametric studies were held to examine how varying perforation geometries, including hole diameter, spacing, …
