Analysis of filament wound tubes against torsion

The response of filament-wound composite tubes under pure torsional loading has been investigated. The tubes, produced using the wet winding technique, are made of E-Glass, S2-Glass, Aramid and Carbon/Epoxy with three lamination sequences and three different helix-winding angles. Experiments have been performed by applying twisting moment at the free end which is also free to extend or contract in axial direction while keeping the other end fixed by special end fixtures. Specimens have the same internal diameter. Experimental results are compared with those obtained from a finite element study and the results are in satisfactory agreement. The results show that Carbon/Epoxy specimens have the highest shear modulus among all and the best results in terms of torsional stiffness are obtained for specimens with +/- 45 degrees winding angles.

OPTIMIZATION OF COMPOSITE BOLTED JOINT DESIGN
ANKARA, AO; DARA, BG (1994-06-01)
An investigation for the development of an interactive computer program for the assessment of strength of a single fastener composite joint in single shear was carried out. Database from previous experimental programs and design sources was evaluated for the establishment of the program. Some experiments were also done with single shear bolted carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates. The suggested computer program models the joint behavior by considering the laminates as homogeneous plates with represen...
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...
Characteristics of HfO2 and SiO2 on p-type silicon wafers using terahertz spectroscopy
Altan, Hakan; Pham, D.; Grebel, H.; Federici, J. F. (IOP Publishing, 2007-05-01)
The effect of high-kappa dielectric HfO2 films on 200 mm diameter p-type silicon substrates was investigated and compared with conventional dielectric material, SiO2. We employed all-optical characterization methods using terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy and visible cw pump/THz probe spectroscopy. Measurements were performed on two sets of samples, each set containing both HfO2 and SiO2 coated wafers with varying thickness of oxide layer. One set had a protective coating of either photoresist or Si3...
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 ...
Contribution of carbon nanotubes to vibration damping behavior of epoxy and its carbon fiber composites
Avil, Esma; Kadioglu, Ferhat; Kaynak, Cevdet (SAGE Publications, 2020-04-01)
The main objective of this study was to investigate contribution of the non-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the vibration damping behavior of first neat epoxy resin and then unidirectional and bidirectional continuous carbon fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites. Epoxy/carbon nanotubes nanocomposites were produced by ultrasonic solution mixing method, while the continuous carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates were obtained via resin-infusion technique. Vibration analysis data of the...
