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 on ...

This paper presents a non-linear numerical investigation of surface cracks in round bars under tension stresses by using ANSYS finite element analysis (FEA). Due to the symmetrical analysis, only quarter finite element ...

This paper investigates crack interaction of multiple edge cracks in elastic solid finite body under pure Mode I loading. The cracks are located in parallel to another in 2D plate model. The stress intensity factors (SIFs) ...

Stress shielding interaction effect of two parallel edge cracks in finite body under uniaxial loading is analysed using developed finite element (FE) analysis program. In present study, the stress shielding interaction is ...

This paper presents a numerical approach to study a multiple crack problem in metallic finite body. The aim is to evaluate the stress intensity factor (SIF) of dimensionless cracks interaction based on equal and parallel ...

This paper describes the modeling of multiaxial ultimate elastic wall stress (UEWS) at room temperature for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes. The model developed, predicts the stress-strain response caused ...

Genetic algorithm (GA) is a search technique used in computing to find approximate solution to optimization and search problem based on the theory of natural selection. This study investigates the application of GA in ...

With the advent of new technologies, many electronic manufacturing companies are competing among each other to capture the market and at the same to compete globally. For electronic equipment and appliances which are based ...

This paper deals with strength and failure prediction as well as reliability issues of adhesive joints of brittle epoxy bonding of two dissimilar adherends. Effects of bond thickness and scarf angle upon the strength of ...
