In this study, Peridynamic (PD) theory is used to model mode-I delamination in unidirectional and multi-directional laminated composites. Experiments are conducted to determine mode-I fracture toughness in a unidirectional carbon-epoxy Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimen where the crack propagation remains on the original notch plane. The PD model of the DCB geometry is generated using an in-house pre-processor code in MATLAB and implemented in ABAQUS software. The brittle damage law in the original PD model is modified to a bilinear law to capture progressive softening. PD results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results in terms of force-displacement curves and crack length. Next, this PD approach is applied to a multidirectional angle-ply DCB specimen. The PD model shows that delamination path jumps between the layers as the delamination grows. Force-displacement behaviour and delamination patterns obtained using PD model are compared with the corresponding experimental results from Gong et al. (2018). As a result, PD theory with bilinear softening law is found to successfully capture force-displacement relations and delamination migration in multidirectional laminated composites under mode-I loading conditions.

Nonlinear modeling of piezoelectric stack actuators with flexure based displacement amplifier mechanisms Yurdakul, Ozan; Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Yıldız, Erdinç Nuri; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-8-26) In this thesis, modeling methods for piezoelectric stack actuators (PSA) are studied. Both linear and nonlinear modeling methodologies are provided. FEM which is derived from constitutive piezoelectric equations is implemented to model linear behavior of piezoelectricity. Validation of the FEM model is performed through experiments. It is observed that modeling and test results are matched with high quality. Rhombus type amplifier mechanism (RTAM) is selected for this study after conducting a detailed liter...
Transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites Şen, Özge; Turhan, Doğan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2005) In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists o...
Stress analysis of symmetric aluminum composite-laminated beams under a bending moment: Materially nonlinear only Sayman, O; Belevi, M; Altinhan, M (SAGE Publications, 2005-01-01) In this study, an elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out on symmetric laminated composite beams subjected to a bending moment. The composite beam is to be strain hardening. The Bernoulli and Euler hypotheses are assumed to be valid. The Tsai-Hill theory is used as a yield criterion in the solution. The solution is carried out for (90 degrees/0 degrees)(2), (30 degrees/-30 degrees)(2), (45 degrees/-45 degrees)(2), and (60 degrees/-60 degrees)(2) orientations. The bending moment is to be found the hig...
Behavior of steel-concrete partially composite beams with channel type shear connectors Baran, Eray; Topkaya, Cem (2014-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of an experimental study investigating the flexural behavior of partially composite beams incorporating channel type shear connectors. Results from monotonic load testing of four full-scale steel-concrete composite beams and a steel beam are presented. The main effort focused on identifying the variation of strength and stiffness properties of beams with various degrees of partial composite action. Behavior of channel shear connectors in the composite beam specimens is rel...
Nonlinear Vibrations of a Beam with a Breathing Edge Crack Using Multiple Trial Functions Batihan, Ali C.; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2016-01-28) In this paper, a beam like structure with a single edge crack is modeled and analyzed in order to study the nonlinear effects of breathing crack on transverse vibrations of a beam. In literature, edge cracks are generally modeled as open cracks, in which the beam is separated into two pieces at the crack location and these pieces are connected to each other with a rotational spring to represent the effect of crack. The open edge crack model is a widely used assumption; however, it does not consider the nonl...
