This work presents a static flexure analysis of laminated composite plates by utilizing a higher order shear deformation theory in which the stretching effect is incorporated. The axial displacement field utilizes sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to consider the transverse shear deformation influence. The cosine function in thickness coordinate is employed in transverse displacement to introduce the influence of transverse normal strain. The highlight of the present method is that, in addition to incorporating the thickness stretching effect (${\varepsilon}_z{\neq}0$), the displacement field is constructed with only 5 unknowns, as against 6 or more in other higher order shear and normal deformation theory. Governing equations of the present theory are determined by employing the principle of virtual work. The closed-form solutions of simply supported cross-ply and angle-ply laminated composite plates have been obtained using Navier solution. The numerical results of present method are compared with those of the classical plate theory (CPT), first order shear deformation theory (FSDT), higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) of Reddy, higher order shear and normal deformation theory (HSNDT) and exact three dimensional elasticity theory wherever applicable. The results predicted by present theory are in good agreement with those of higher order shear deformation theory and the elasticity theory. It can be concluded that the proposed method is accurate and simple in solving the static bending response of laminated composite plates.

Composite steel-concrete beams are used frequently in situations where axial forces are introduced. Some examples include the use in cable-stayed bridges or inclined members in stadia and bridge approach spans. In these situations, the beam may be subjected to any combination of flexure and axial load. However, modern steel and composite construction codes currently do not address the effects of these combined actions. This study presents an analysis of composite beams subjected to combined loadings. An analytical model is developed based on a cross-sectional analysis method using a strategy of successive iterations. Results derived from the model show an excellent agreement with existing experimental results. A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of axial load on the flexural strength of composite beams. The parametric study is then extended to a number of section sizes and employs various degrees of shear connection. Design models are proposed for estimating the flexural strength of an axially loaded member with full and partial shear connection.

일반적 직교이방성 복합재료의 기계적 성질을 측정하기 위한 간단한 실험방법으로 편축시험편에 대한 인장시험 또는 굽힘시험이 흔히 사용된다. 이때 재료의 특성상 인장시험편에서는 전단변형이 발생될 수밖에 없으며, 굽힘시험편에서는 비틀림변형을 피할 수 없다. 그러나, 시험장치의 그림 또는 지지대에서의 구속은 커플링에 의한 변형을 수용할 수 없고, 따라서 이에 따른 응력집중을 유발한다. 결과적으로 불균일한 변형장과 응력장을 낳게되어 측정값의 정확도를 저하시키며, 조기 파손으로 인한 복합재료 강도의 과소평가를 가져오게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이를 완화하기 위한 방안으로 시험편 경계면 형상의 변화를 제안한다. 이를 위하여 경사좌표계에서의 적층이론을 유도하며, 각 시험조건에 대한 특성방정식을 구한다. 유한요소해석을 수행하여 특정방정식을 이용하여 수정된 시험편 형상의 유용성을 보인다.

An equivalent single layer trigonometric shear deformation theory taking into account transverse shear deformation effect as well as transverse normal strain effect is presented for static flexure of cross-ply laminated composite and sandwich plates. The inplane displacement field uses sinusoidal function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the transverse shear deformation effect. The cosine function in thickness coordinate is used in transverse displacement to include the effect of transverse normal strain. The kinematics of the present theory is much richer than those of the other higher order shear deformation theories, because if the trigonometric term (involving thickness coordinate z) is expanded in power series, the kinematics of higher order theories (which are usually obtained by power series in thickness coordinate z) are implicitly taken into account to good deal of extent. Governing equations and boundary conditions of the theory are obtained using the principle of virtual work. The closed-form solutions of simply supported cross-ply laminated composite and sandwich plates have been obtained. The results of present theory are compared with those of the classical plate theory (CPT), first order shear deformation theory (FSDT), higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) of Reddy and exact three dimensional elasticity theory wherever applicable. The results predicted by present theory are in good agreement with those of higher order shear deformation theory and the elasticity theory.

The ultimate strength behaviour of sandwich composite beams with J-hooks and normal weight concrete (SCSSBJNs) are studied through two-point loading tests on ten full-scale SCSSBJNs. The test results show that the SCSSBJN with different parameters under two-point loads exhibits three types of failure modes, i.e., flexure, shear, and combined shear and flexure mode. SCSSBJN failed in different failure modes exhibits different load-deflection behaviours, and the main difference of these three types of behaviours exist in their last working stages. The influences of thickness of steel faceplate, shear span ratio, concrete core strength, and spacing of J-hooks on structural behaviours of SCSSBJN are discussed and analysed. These test results show that the failure mode of SCSSBJN was sensitive to the thickness of steel faceplate, shear span ratio, and concrete core strength. Theoretical models are developed to estimate the cracking, yielding, and ultimate bending resistance of SCSSBJN as well as its transverse cross-sectional shear resistance. The validations of predictions by these theoretical models proved that they are capable of estimating strengths of novel SCSSBJNs.

이번 실험의 목적은 이축 굴곡 강도 시험의 복합레진에서의 적용가능성을 위해 기존의 3점 굴곡 강도 시험과 이축 굴곡 강도 시험을 이용하여 치과용 광중합형 레진의 강도를 측정하고, 이를 Weibull modulus를 이용하여 상대적 신뢰도를 비교하는 것이다. 이번 실험에 사용된 재료는 $MICRONEW^{TM},\;RENEW^{(R)}$ (Bisco, Schaumburg, USA)의 두 가지 광중합형 수복 재료이다. 이축 굴곡 강도 측정에는 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 6872 규정에 따라 piston-on-3-ball test를 사용하였으며 검사 시편은 직경이 각각 12 mm (지지원의 반지름 3.75 mm), 16 mm (지지원의 반지름 5 mm), 두께가 각각 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm인 여섯 개의 군으로 나누어 제작하였으며 각 군당 시편을 20개씩 제작하였다. $MICRONEW^{TM}$와 $RENEW^{(R)}$의 실험 결과, 이축 굴곡 강도가 3점 굴곡 강도보다 높은 평균값을 나타내었고 이축 굴곡 강도의 모든 군이 3점 굴곡 강도보다 높은 Weibull modulus 값을 보여, 이축 굴곡 강도 시험이 상대적으로 실험적 오차의 영향을 적게 받는 방법으로 신뢰 할 수 있었다. 또한 이축 굴곡 강도 시험에서 시편의 두께가 2 mm일 때 가장 높은 Weibull modulus를 나타내었으며 이축 굴곡 강도시험군 중, $MICRONEW^{TM}$의 두께 2 mm군에서는 지지원의 반지름에 따른 굴곡 강도의 통계학적 유의차이가 없었고 (p>0.05), 이를 제외한 모든 군에서 시편의 두께와 지지원의 반지름에 따른 굴곡 강도의 통계학적 유의차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 위의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 두께 2 mm군에서 이축 굴곡 강도는 기존의 3점 굴곡 강도 시험보다 우수한 것으로 추천할 수 있는 방법이다.

Interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon/epoxy composite materials has been studied under tensile and flexural loading by the use of width tapered double cantilever beam(WTDCB) and end notched flexure(ENF) specimens. This study has significantly examined the effect of various interfacial ply orientation, ${\alpha}(0^{\circ},\;45^{\circ}\;and\;90^{\circ})$ and crack propagation direction, ${\theta}(0^{\circ},\;15^{\circ},\;30^{\circ}\;and\;45^{\circ})$ in terms of critical strain energy release rate through experiments. Twelve differently layered laminates were investigated. The data reduction for evaluating the fracture energy is based on compliance method and beam theory. Beam theory is used to analyze the effect of crack propagation direction. The geometry and lay-up sequence of specimens are considered various conditions such as skewness parameter, beam volume, and so on. The results show that the fiber bridging occurred due to the non-midplane crack propagation and causes the difference of fracture energy evaluated by both methods. For safer and more reliable composite structures, we obtain the optimal stacking sequence from initial fracture energy in each mode.

The present study focuses on the effect of extension-bending coupling on the elastic stability (buckling) of laminated composite plates. These plates will be loaded under uni-axial or bi-axial in-plane mechanical loads, especially in the orthotropic or anti-symmetric cross-angle cases. The main objective is to find a limit where we can approximate the elastic stability behavior of angularly crossed anti-symmetric plates by the simple behavior of specially orthotropic plates. The contribution of my present study is to predict the explicit effect of extension-flexion coupling on the elastic stability of this type of panel. Critically, a parametric study is carried out, involving the search for the critical buckling load as a function of deformation mode, aspect ratio, plate anisotropy ratio and finally the study of the effect of lamination angle and number of layers on the contribution of extension-flexure coupling in terms of plate buckling stability. We use first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) with a correction factor of 5/6. Simply supported conditions along the four boundaries are adopted where we can develop closed-form analytical solutions obtained by a Navier development.
