Composite materials represent the important class of anisotropic materials. Unlike the previous works of authors in which estimations of long durability of an anisotropic pipe are given within the bounds of criterion of the destruction being generalization of the first theory of durability on the maximal stretching or compressing strain on the account of the process of damageability, in the given work the estimation of long durability is given within the bounds of the structural criterion of durability offered in work of one of the authors. According to him, destruction of a material is defined by the greatest level of the accumulated volume of damageability on some of proper stress-strain states. A problem in revealing stages of scattered destruction of an anisotropic pipe with the use of the simplified variant of criterion of durability, has been solved in the given work.

This study develops a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model for polymer-bonded composite materials, allowing for the prediction of deformation behaviors under tension and compression in the testing temperature range. Laboratory testing of the material specimens in uniaxial tension and compression at multiple temperatures ranging from −40 ∘C to 75 ∘C is performed. The testing data reveal that the stress–strain response can be divided into two general regimes, namely, a short elastic part followed by the plastic part; therefore, the Ramberg–Osgood relationship is proposed to build the stress–strain constitutive model at a single temperature. By correlating the model parameters with the corresponding temperature using a response surface, a general temperature-dependent stress–strain constitutive model is established. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model are validated using several independent sets of testing data and third-party data. The performance of the proposed model is compared with an existing reference model. The validation and comparison results show that the proposed model has a lower number of parameters and yields smaller relative errors. The proposed constitutive model is further implemented as a user material routine in a finite element package. A simple structural example using the developed user material is presented and its accuracy is verified.

We characterize the material properties of a woven, multi-layered, hyperelastic composite that is useful as an envelope material for high-altitude stratospheric airships and in the design of other large structures. The composite was fabricated by sandwiching a polyaramid Nomex® core, with good tensile strength, between polyimide Kapton® films with high dielectric constant, and cured with epoxy using a vacuum bagging technique. Uniaxial mechanical tests were used to stretch the individual materials and the composite to failure in the longitudinal and transverse directions respectively. The experimental data for Kapton® were fit to a five-parameter Yeoh form of nonlinear, hyperelastic and isotropic constitutive model. Image analysis of the Nomex® sheets, obtained using scanning electron microscopy, demonstrate two families of symmetrically oriented fibers at 69.3°± 7.4° and 129°± 5.3°. Stress-strain results for Nomex® were fit to a nonlinear and orthotropic Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden (HGO) hyperelastic model with two fiber families. We used a linear decomposition of the strain energy function for the composite, based on the individual strain energy functions for Kapton® and Nomex®, obtained using experimental results. A rule of mixtures approach, using volume fractions of individual constituents present in the composite during specimen fabrication, was used to formulate the strain energy function for the composite. Model results for the composite were in good agreement with experimental stress-strain data. Constitutive properties for woven composite materials, combining nonlinear elastic properties within a composite materials framework, are required in the design of laminated pretensioned structures for civil engineering and in aerospace applications.

This paper analyzes a sequential social learning game with a general utility function, state, and action space. We show that asymptotic learning holds for every utility function if and only if signals are totally unbounded, that is, the support of the private posterior probability of every event contains both zero and one. For the case of finitely many actions, we provide a sufficient condition for asymptotic learning depending on the given utility function. Finally, we establish that for the important class of simple utility functions with finitely many actions and states, pairwise unbounded signals, which generally are a strictly weaker notion than unbounded signals, are necessary and sufficient for asymptotic learning.

A comparative analysis of typical stress-strain diagrams obtained for in-plain shear of the 25 unidirectional and cross-ply reinforced polymer matrix composites under quasi-static loading was carried out. Three of them were tested in the framework of this study, and the experimental data on other materials were taken from the literature. The analysis of the generalized shear-strength curves showed that most of the tested materials exhibit the similar deformation pattern depending on their initial shear modulus: a linear section is observed at the beginning of loading, whereas further increase of the load decreases the slope of the curve reaching the minimum in the failure point. For the three parameters (end point the linear part, maximum reduced deviation of the diagram, tangent shear modulus at the failure point) characterizing the individual features of the presented stress-strain diagrams, approximating their dependences on the value of the reduced initial shear modulus are obtained. At the characteristic points of the deformation diagrams, boundary conditions are determined that can be used to find the parameters of the approximating functions. A condition is proposed for determination of the end point of the linear section on the experimental stress-strain curve, according to which the maximum deviation between the experimental and calculated (according to Hooke’s law) values of the shear stress in this section is no more than 1%, thus ensuring rather high accuracy of approximation on the linear section of the diagram. The results of this study are recommended to use when developing universal and relatively simple in structure approximating functions that take into account the characteristic properties of the experimental curves of deformation of polymer composite materials under in-plane shear of the sheet. The minimum set of experimental data is required to determine the parameters of these functions.

Shear stress-shear strain curves for o.f.h.c. copper at room temperature have been obtained at constant shear strain rates in the range 1 to 103s-1, using thin walled tubular specimens in a flywheel type torsion testing machine. Results show that, for a given value of strain, the stress decreases when the rate of strain is increased. Moreover, the elastic portion of the stress-strain curve tends to disappear as the rate of strain is increased. It is postulated that these effects are due to the formation of adiabatic shear bands in the material when the given rate of strain is impressed rapidly enough. A special feature of the design of the testing machine used is the rapid application of the chosen strain rate.

The task of estimating the stress-strain state of pipelines through which gas-liquid mixtures with aggressive components are transported is considered, the purpose, object and object of research are established. The analysis of the current state of scientific and technical researches on the given subject is carried out, the circle of unresolved problems is revealed. The combined effect on the pipelines through which gas-liquid mixtures with aggressive components are transported stress – strained state change  is estimated by two models - the model for determining the change of the stress-strain state of the pipeline by data on the surface points certain set displacement   taking into account the quasi-stationarity of the process. The device uses interpolation smoothing splines and methods of differential geometry, 6 components of strain and stress tensors are determined. In order to substantiate the method of estimation of annular stresses at the wear of the pipeline walls due to the action of the aggressive components of the transported mixtures, systems of equilibrium equations for pipeline sections and for quasi-rectilinear sections with altered cross-section configuration have been derived. Boundaryt conditions for equilibrium equations are established. Calculation formulas for estimation of annular stresses arising under the action of internal pressure for sections with shape defects caused by the action of aggressive components are established. The results of calculations that allow to quantify the change of the most significant ring stresses arising in the pipeline material under the action of internal pressure in the pipeline cross sections, which were exposed to the aggressive components, are presented. It is assumed that the deformed sections are little different from the shape of the circle.

In this article the results of stress-strain state investigation for composite airplane wing stringer with different layers stacking structures are presented. As an object of research, a stringer made of composite carbon with V-shaped cross-section is considered. Due to the stress-strain state analysis of various stringer structures, the most effective structure for stringer layers stacking is selected, both in the view of providing the most rigidity and optimal perception by the stringer the field of external loads, which are most typical for the conditions of its operation.
