General lifetime damage model for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes under multiaxial loading
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
This paper presents the modelling of a general lifetime performance for glass fibre
reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes similar to the well-known Tsai-Hill interactive failure
criterion. Tsai Hill criterion is based ...

Numerical stress analysis of epoxy adhesively bonded dissimilar joint
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
A two-dimensional adhesively bonded dissimilar single lap joint model was analyzed under tension. An explicit closed-form solution was formulated by using MATLAB tool for analysis of shear and peel stresses distribution ...
Effects of elevated temperatures on the compression strength of nanoclay filled unsaturated polyester resin
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
The paper describes the effects of the montmorillonite (MMT) fillers commonly known as nanoclay, on the compression properties of unsaturated polyester resins at different weight percentage of nanoclay. Modified resin ...
Tensile strength of untreated napier grass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
This paper describes the experimental investigation of the tensile strength of untreated Napier grass fibre reinforced polyester composites. Napier grass fibres were extracted trough conventional water retting process and ...
The interlaminar shear strength test of helical wound glass fibre reinforced epoxy laminates subjected to hydrothermal ageing
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
This paper presents the experimental investigation of interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests of helical wound glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes subjected to hydrothermal ageing. Currently, the test is being used ...
Strength of three-point-bending ductile adhesive joint with dissimilar adherent
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted in order to determine the effect of different adhesive thickness (i.e., 0.1, 0.5, 0.7 and 1 mm) on strength of ductile adhesive joint. The study scope covers both ...
Stress analysis of adhesive bonding of urea granulator fluidization bed
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
Stress analysis of adhesive bonding of urea granulator fluidization bed was performed by using finite element method. The main objective of this project is to develop an alternative joining technique for urea granulator ...
Short-term test of ±55 filament wound GRE composite pipes under multiaxial stress ratios
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
This paper discusses the the development of an automated pressure testing rig to perform a short term test; Ultimate Elastic Wall Stress (UEWS) for ±55˚ glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipe under various stress ...
3D finite element stress analysis of butt adhesively bonded dissimilar joint: effect of bond thickness on strength
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-06)
The butt joint is the most studied type of adhesive joints in the literature. However, the joint strength prediction of joints is still a controversial issue as it involves a lot of factors that are difficult to quantify ...
