  1. 1. 4-Point Bending of Composite Laminates for FEM/FEA Validation

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhet

    Author : Pierce Cashin; [2023]
    Keywords : composites; 4-point bending; fiberglass; sandwich panel;

    Abstract : When designing structures and vehicles using composite materials, engineers need access to critical information regarding the composite materials in question. This information describes the strength, stiffness, failure mode, and other variables that can be used to properly determine how a structure will perform while undergoing various loads and effects.

  3. 2. Adhesive bonding of fiber laminate patch to sandwich-structured composite

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Materialteknik

    Author : Daniel Nesic; [2022]
    Keywords : Adhesive bonding; Shipbuilding; Composite construction; Finite element method in structural mechanics; Fiber reinforced plastics; Optical microscopy analysis; Fractography; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : By using composites when constructing vehicles, lighter weight and thus better performance can be achieved. Composites are widely used in airplanes and small boats, but has yet to be incorporated in larger ships such as freighters and cruise ships. The main hindrance for its use is the lack of practical knowledge and experience. READ MORE

  4. 3. Torsional Stiffness Calculation of CFRP Hybrid Chassis using Finite Element Method : Development of calculation methodology of Formula Student CFRP Chassis

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Abb Assaye; [2020]
    Keywords : FEA; FEM; Formula Student; FSAE; Torsion; Torsional Stiffness; Torsional Rigidity;

    Abstract : Composite sandwich structures are being used in the automotive and aerospace industries at an increasing rate due to their high strength and stiffness per unit weight.  Many teams in the world’s largest engineering competition for students, Formula Student, have embraced these types of structures and are using them in their chassis with the intent of increasing the torsional stiffness per unit weight.
