Vehicle Crashworthiness

Vehicle crashworthiness is an important aspect to consider when designing a vehicle to ensure the safety of the occupants. Besides this, vehicles are also designed to reduce weight for better fuel economics. One possible approach to reducing weight without compromising vehicle safety is by looking at new designs and usage of composite materials, along with the usage of computational models to reduce time and cost. Hence, this paper displays the experimental results of a carbon fiber reinforced closed top-hat section subjected to both quasi-static and dynamic crushing loading. The results were used to validate the computational model developed in the study. The specimens were made of carbon composite prepregs MTM-44 sheets stacked at the alternative orientation of ±45° and 0°/90°, where 0° direction coincides with the axis of the member. The samples were prepared by using a mold and carbon prepregs under vacuum bagging followed by curing in an autoclave. Trigger initiation was applied to ensure the specimens demonstrated a stable crushing mode of failure during the test. Experimental investigations were carried out under the ambient conditions with different loading conditions, and different kinetic energy ranges (2, 3 and 6 kJ). Experimental data was used to validate the finite element analysis (FEA). The maximum errors obtained between experimental and FEA for mean load, mean energy absorption, and crushing displacement were 13%, 13% and 7%, respectively. The numerically obtained results were in strong agreement with the experimental data and showed that they were able to predict the failure of the specimens. The work also showed the novelty of using such structures for energy absorption applications.

Abstract The paper compares the Arruda—Boyce model, the van der Waals model and the Reduced Polynomial model—a generic class of polynomial models of which Yeoh's cubic model is a special case—in their ability to predict multiaxial deformation states on the basis of uniaxial measurements. These models are reviewed in the light of novel experimental data, giving ample space to the derivation of the equations needed for optimization of the material parameters. The technological relevance of these findings is exemplified in the finite element analysis (FEA) of a complex membrane.

The Difference

Unsymmetric composite laminates were benefit to reducing the structure weight of some aircrafts. However, the cured unsymmetric laminates showed distortion at room temperature. Therefore, predicting the deformation before using the unsymmetrical composite is very important. In this study an attempt was made to predict the shapes of some unsymmetric cross-ply laminates using the finite element analysis (FEA). The bilinear shell-element was adopted in the process. Then the simulation results were compared with the experimental data. The studies we had performed showed that the theoretical calculation agreed well with the experimental results, the predicted shapes were similar to the real laminates, and the difference between the calculated maximum deflections and the experimental data were less than 5%. Hence the FEA method was suitable for predicting the warpage of unsymmetric laminates. The error analysis showed that the simulation results were very sensitive to the lamina thickness, 2 α and (T.

In article present the developed methodology will allow monitoring pipeline displacements under changes in operating conditions, as well as simulating unfavorable processes (thawing of soil, formation of taliks, violation of thermal insulation). The planning of the experiment was carried out to obtain the calculated mechanical characteristics of the soil, depending on the temperature and humidity, used to calculate the stress-strain state of the pipeline. A mathematical computer model has been developed to determine the radius and temperature field of the thawing halo around the pipeline. A template for displaying experimental data for their use in the finite element analysis of pipeline displacements during soil thawing is presented.

Glass Columns

Abstract The demand for transparency has increased in the construction industry and contemporary architecture over the last decade. The prior researchers focused on glass columns because their uniqueness and transparent characteristics generate an impressive visual feature. Past studies on structural glass entailed numerous experimental investigations, but FEA was applied in a few investigation exercises. This study aims to validate the experimental data and analyse the crack in the tubular glass column and determine the effectiveness of different slenderness ratios of the glass column. This study investigated the column structural behaviour under compression with different geometrical dimensions of hollow section laminated glass columns to determine their load-carrying capacity, buckling performance, and failure mechanism. Finite element analysis using the explicit method was performed by using ABAQUS. The study found that the failure mechanisms depend on the slenderness ratio classified into two failure modes, either buckling or crushing. The glass column failed due to buckling when the slenderness ratio is more than 40, while it failed due to crushing when the slenderness ratio is less than 40. The finite element analysis did not correlate perfectly with the experimental data since the FEA underestimating the glass performance.
