The evolution of a sustainable green composite in various loadbearing structural applications tends to reduce pollution, which in turn enhances environmental sustainability. This work is an attempt to promote a sustainable green composite in buckling loadbearing structural applications. In order to use the green composite in various structural applications, the knowledge on its structural stability is a must. As the structural instability leads to the buckling of the composite structure when it is under an axial compressive load, the work on its buckling characteristics is important. In this work, the buckling characteristics of a woven flax/bio epoxy (WFBE) laminated composite plate are investigated experimentally and numerically when subjected to an axial compressive load. In order to accomplish the optimization study on the buckling characteristics of the composite plate among various structural criterions such as number of layers, the width of the plate and the ply orientation, the optimization tool “response surface methodology” (RSM) is used in this work. The validation of the developed finite element model in Analysis System (ANSYS) version 16 is carried out by comparing the critical buckling loads obtained from the experimental test and numerical simulation for three out of twenty samples. A comparison is then made between the numerical results obtained through ANSYS16 and the results generated using the regression equation. It is concluded that the buckling strength of the composite escalates with the number of layers, the change in width and the ply orientation. It is also noted that the weaving model of the fabric powers the buckling behavior of the composite. This work explores the feasibility of the use of the developed green composite in various buckling loadbearing structural applications. Due to the compromised buckling characteristics of the green composite with the synthetic composite, it has the capability of replacing many synthetic composites, which in turn enhances the sustainability of the environment.

This article continues our work to develop magnetoelectric materials as self-sensing actuators. Our research is directed at developing a two-segment cantilever device with closed-loop control. The actuator under study is fabricated as a laminated composite of the magnetostrictive material Iron-Gallium (Galfenol) and a Lead-Zirconate-Titanate piezoelectric material (PZT-5H). The mechanical and electrical characteristics of a single-segment cantilever are modeled using the equation of motion developed from variational principles in earlier work and are compared with experimental data from other groups. Additionally, parametric analysis is performed to determine the effect of varying the thickness fraction of the piezoelectric layer on the frequency response characteristics of the actuator. When applied to the dynamic behavior of the actuator, the model predicts behavior that closely resembles experimental results published by other groups. Parametric analysis of the piezoelectric layer thickness fraction indicates that the design of a magnetoelectric cantilever self-sensing actuator can be optimized by varying the thickness fraction.

Recycled paper is helpful to reduce trash discharge, save resource and cost. Recycled paper tube is one of the most successful cases in application of recycled paper. It is an excellent choice for packing. It’s also used in the construction of temporary structures for both exhibition spaces or for rapid-recovery shelters in emergency operations. As paper tubes are laminated composite materials composited of paperboard which is inherent anisotropy materials, the research on mechanical property and fracture behavior becomes more complicated. In order to analyze deformation and fracture behavior of paper tubes under lateral compressive load, six types of paper tube fabricated with different kinds of paperboard and number of ply were examined in this study. The six types included three different kinds of paperboard. Cracks propagation was observed through lateral compression test process. At the same time, energy absorption in elastic stage was discussed between different paper tubes.

Buckling and post-buckling analysis of isotropic and laminated composite cylindrical plates/panels under compressive load has been done by equilibrium path approach (arc-length technique). The impact of cut outs on buckling and post-buckling load of an isotropic and laminated composite cylindrical plates/panels has been assessed by utilizing summed up generalized finite element programming ANSYS. In post-buckling Eigen mode imperfection shape is picked for creating geometric undulations on cylindrical panels with/without circular cut-outs. The impact of the area and size of the cut out and furthermore the composite utilize point on the buckling load of laminated composite cylindrical panel is explored with simply supported boundary conditions. The post-buckling consequences of laminated cylindrical panels have been validated with existing appropriate writing (18) and are additionally stretched out for analysis of sheets/plates with cutouts. It has been seen that the as the curvature of the panel increases load bearing capacity is increasing irrespective of the material and with/without cut out.

Laminated composite plates have lower interlaminar strength making it difficult to apply interference-fit rivet joining. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed in order to simulate the riveting process on composite plates. The finite element model is based on continuum elements and accounts for some important mechanisms involved in a whole riveting process. The stresses around the rivet hole and the deformed shapes of the rivet are presented together with the effects of the interference fit and the geometry of the washer when the rivet joints are subjected to the compressive load. The numerical results show the applicability of an interference-fit riveting in composite laminates.
