Employing a failure criterion with interaction terms to simulate the progressive failure of carbon-epoxy laminates

A failure criterion with the existence of coupling terms is employed to investigate the progressive failure in anisotropic laminated carbon-epoxy plates. The criterion is employed because it is developed recently. Moreover, the criterion allows interaction between fiber and matrix properties. This paper is aimed to investigate the contribution of the coupling terms and thus, to simulate the progressive failure of the carbon-epoxy plates. A mathematical model and computational model are presented for the analysis. The deformation of the plates is predicted based on higher order shear deformation theory. Variation of material properties through thickness is used and accommodated by a discrete layer approach. A program based on finite element method is developed to determine the lamina stresses. Stresses calculated are used in the present failure model to determine the first ply failure and last ply failure, by progressively reducing the stiffness of the laminas. Finally, the first ply failure and last ply failure results are used to determine the lower and upper bounds within which the true load carrying capacity lies. The numerical results obtained show some improvement compared to other failure criteria

Investigating The Shear Behaviour of Hard Points on Honeycomb Sandwich Panels / Nazarrudin Abdullah Ramdzam and Jamaluddin Mahmud

Honeycomb sandwich panels which act as the main structure of UiTM solar car, namely Stingray, are exposed to the localize load due to the weight of the handling system components attached to it. Therefore, hard points were introduced to strengthen the structure. Nevertheless, studies pertaining to the shear behaviour of hard points have not been well established. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the shear behaviour of hard points on honeycomb sandwich panels due to variations of potting agent volume. The samples, which are panels with hard points were fabricated with variations of potting agent volume (1ml, 2ml and 3ml). Apart from that, panels with hard points made of commercial metal insert (NAS1834) were also fabricated for benchmarking purposes. Shear tests were conducted on the samples to observe the failure mode, where the procedure was based on a published work. Stress-strain diagrams were plotted to determine the Modulus of Rigidity, Gave,1ml, Gave,2ml, Gave,3ml and Gave,NAS1834 and shear strength (the maximum load which the panel could withstand). As an alternative solution, finite element analysis was performed for the same specification. Initially, the panels with hard points were modelled using SOLIDWORKS and then assembled in CATIA. A commercial finite element analysis software, HyperWorks, was used to simulate the deformation behaviour of the panels under shear, according to the conducted tests set up. The experiments results are found to produce similar curves trend to other researchers. The simulated results for shear properties were compared with all the samples from physical tests. In general, the results show that the shear strength of the panels could be increased by increasing the volume of the potting agent. The panels with hard points with 3ml of potting agent volume have the highest shear strength as compared to the other three variations. It can be concluded that the research related to the application of the hard points on the solar car is important and found to be very useful for improving the next UiTM Eco-Photon solar car

Capability Assessment of Finite Element Software in Predicting the Last Ply Failure of Composite Laminates

AbstractFinite element programming using language such as FORTRAN, C++ and MATLAB has been the common and traditional tool to perform the progressive failure analysis of composite structures. This procedure requires high programming skills and strong mathematical understanding. This paper for the first time assesses the capability of a commercially available finite element analysis (FEA) software, ANSYS, to perform the Last Ply Failure (LPF) analysis of a laminated composite plate. The analysis is carried out by employing Maximum Stress and Tsai-Wu failure criteria. It is modelled and performed using ANSYS software which has a feature that supports the failure criteria and analysis procedure. The feature allows determination of maximum strength on individual layers in a composite laminate, thus provide an easier way to predict the failure progression. Based on analysis, the ultimate failure load and failure curves (LPF) are determined. The failure curves are compared and discussed with respect to previous experimental and FEA (both LPF and FPF) works. The results show that the LPF curves are very close to experiment that exhibits average errors as low as 16%. Finally, it can be concluded that the ANSYS software is applicable in predicting an accurate composite laminate LPF

The effect of skin orientation on biomechanical properties / Nor Fazli Adull Manan and Jamaluddin Mahmud

Skin technology has become a world interest recently and further investigations could improve the current application of skin and leather. Aligning to this, a biomechanical analysis of animal skin is carried out, where the sheepskins are investigated thoroughly using uniaxial tensile tests. The main aim of this study is to compare the biomechanical properties of sheepskin in means of hair effect and orientation layout between horizontal and vertical orientation. The testing specimens are taken from the fresh slaughtered Boer sheepskin and they are prepared into four categories; horizontal (unshaved), horizontal (shaved), vertical (unshaved) and vertical (shaved) according to ASTM International Standard test method for tensile strength of leather (D2209). As a result, the characterisation techniques show that the Ogden s coefficient, μ and Ogden s exponent, α, are 0.369 (MPa) and 7.604 respectively for horizontal (unshaved). However, μ and a for horizontal (shaved) are 0.512 (MPa) and 8.930. In contrast, the value of μ and a for vertical (unshaved) are 0.444 (MPa) and 9.928 and for vertical (shaved) are 0.539 (MPa) and 10.617. This study has contributed to the knowledge of biomechanics especially biomechanical properties of sheepskin. This could be useful for future investigation and analysis of softtissues, hyperelastic modeling and animal dermatology

Failure analysis of fiber reinforced composite materials used in Malaysian industries / Jamaluddin Mahmud, Wahyu Kuntjoro and Aidah Jumahat

The main objective of this paper is to determine the curves bounding the actual load carrying capacity in terms of the First Ply Failure and the Last Ply Failure of composite materials used in Malaysian Industries. A mathematical model and computational model are presented for the analysis. Higher Order Shear Deformation plate theory is employed to predict the deformation of the plate. The selected material properties through thickness is used and accommodated by a discrete layer approach. A program based on finite element method is developed using Fortran-90 to determine the lamina stresses. These stresses are then used in the present failure model to determine the First Ply Failure and Last Ply Failure, by progressively reducing the stiffness of the laminas. Finally, the First Ply Failure and Last Ply failure results are analysed, in terms of lower and upper bound within which the true load carrying capacity lies
