Laminated curved glasses as widely used elements in buildings urge to develop a mathematical model for their analysis and safer design. Large deflection theory is necessary in order to predict the true behavior of a laminated curved glass beam consisting of several glass layers bonded by soft interlayer PVB (PolyVinyl Butyral). In the present study, a mathematical model is developed for the analysis of a laminated circular arch or a laminated uniformly curved glass beam which is the special case of the laminated curved glass beams. Thus, three nonlinear, coupled partial differential equations governing the true behavior are derived in polar coordinates by applying variational and energy principles. Results of this model are compared with the results from the experiments and finite element model, and all of them are presented in figures to explain the true behavior.

An Approach for the Evaluation of Effective Elastic Properties of Honeycomb Cores by Finite Element Analysis of Sandwich Panels Aydincak, Ilke; Kayran, Altan (SAGE Publications, 2009-09-01) Different detailed finite element model alternatives are developed to come up with the most reliable finite element model of the sandwich panel, with the actual honeycomb core geometry, to evaluate the existing equivalent continuum models of aluminum honeycomb cores. Finite element models of sandwich panels with effective elastic constants of the honeycomb core are generated based on the existing continuum models of the honeycomb core. The evaluation of the effective elastic constants of honeycomb cores is ...
Role of system architecture in architecture in developing new drafting tools Sorguç, Arzu (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2005-06-01) In this study, the impact of information technologies in architectural design process is discussed. In this discussion, first the differences/nuances between the concept of software engineering and system architecture are clarified. Then, the design process in engineering, and design process in architecture has been compared by considering 3-D models as the center of design process over which the other disciplines involve the design. It is pointed out that in many high-end engineering applications, 3-D soli...
Micromechanical modelling of carbon nanotube reinforced composite materials with a functionally graded interphase Taç, Vahidullah; Gürses, Ercan (SAGE Publications, 2019-12-01) This paper introduces a new method of determining the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube-polymer composites using a multi-inclusion micromechanical model with functionally graded phases. The nanocomposite was divided into four regions of distinct mechanical properties; the carbon nanotube, the interface, the interphase and bulk polymer. The carbon nanotube and the interface were later combined into one effective fiber using a finite element model. The interphase was modelled in a functionally graded m...
A procedure to embed fibre Bragg grating strain sensors into GFRP sandwich structures Dawood, T. A.; Shenoi, R. A.; Şahin, Melin (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) Embedding FBG strain sensors within a GFRP sandwich composite material allows early detection of internal defects. However, the sensors need to survive the manufacturing process to provide this capability. Vacuum infusion is commonly used to manufacture GFRP sandwich composite materials but, it needs to be modified to accommodate the embedding process. A stage by stage procedure is demonstrated here to embed FBG strain sensors between the skin-core interface of a GFRP sandwich beam specimen using the vacuum...
Development of strain monitoring system for glass fiber reinforced composites via embedded electrically conductive pathways Tanabi, Hamed; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-15) Among numerous types of health-monitoring and damage-sensing sensors that can be integrated into composites, electrically conductive sensors offer a simple, cost-effective, and durable option for structural health monitoring in fiber reinforced composites. In this study, a novel approach is introduced to create electrical conductive networks in glass fiber reinforced composites. For this purpose, hollow micro-channels are generated using vaporization of sacrificial components (VaSCs) which are subsequently ...
