Numerical Investigation of Ply-by-Ply Failure and Strength Degradation in Composite Laminates Under Transverse Loading

By Rahul B Gunale, Pramod Ram Wadate, Sanjay Gaikwad, Gouri Bhasale, Mahesh Phatangare

Abstract: This paper represents the failure analysis of composite symmetric and antisymmetric laminate, when laminates were subjected to the transverse loading conditions. The load is uniformly distributed in a transverse direction. The analysis includes failure load and nature of failure by using theories of failure. The ply degradation material model is used to modify and update the properties of failed lamina and upgrades the properties of laminate. Laminate is modelled as …

Dynamic Analysis of Honeycomb Sandwich Laminated Composite Plate using ANSYS

By Mr Prash Adlakha, Mrs. Anjali Bora

Abstract: A structural sandwich is a peculiar form of a laminated composite comprising of a combination of distinct materials which are bonded together to use effectively the properties of each separate component to the structural advantage of the whole assembly. Two thin, rigid and quite strong faces in the framework are partitioned by a thick, light and weaker core. The faces are attached adhesively to the core to ensure effective load …

Performance Analysis of GLARE Composites in Aerospace Engineering

By Abhishek T.K., Ram Vishal G., Sambhaji Lore, Rakesh Kumar Ray, Srikanth H.V.

Abstract: The fuel consumption of an aircraft is largely governed by its payload, which emphasizes the continuous demand for advanced lightweight structural materials to enhance the lift-to-weight ratio and improve overall fuel efficiency. Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) have emerged as a novel class of hybrid materials that combine alternating layers of thin metals with fiber-reinforced polymer composites, thereby offering mechanical properties superior to those of the individual constituents. Among the different …
