Optimization design based approach for the determination and minimization of the displacement under tensile load in hybrid composite joint

Sahli Abderahmane, Fouzia Merabbi, Abdelkader Lousdad, Abdelkader Megueni

C Composite materials are most often used for lengthier and thin structures susceptible to buckle. The optimization is often carried out taking into consideration the resistance to buckling and tensile loads for minimum displacement i.e…

Ultrasonic welding of lap joints of PEI plates with PEI/CF-fabric prepregs

Vladislav Alexenko, Defang Tian, Sergey Panin, Svetlana Bochkareva, Iliya Panov

In this study, ultrasonic welding (USW) of lap joints of polyetherimide (PEI) plates (adherends) with carbon fiber (CF) prepregs impregnated with PEI was investigated. No energy director (ED) was used, so binder contents were varied in the…

Hybrid phase-field modeling of multi-level concrete gravity dam notched cracks

Hichem Mazighi, Mustapha Kamel Mihoubi, David Santillan Sanchez

Phase-field models have become a powerful tool to simulate crack propagation. They regularize the fracture discontinuity and smooth the transition between the intact and the damaged regions. Based on the thermodynamic function and a…
