Interlaminar normal stresses are induced with interlaminar shear stresses leading to mixed-mode delamination (MMD) in curved cross-ply composite laminates. Dynamic mixed-mode delamination is studied using explicit finite element method and Cohesive Zone Modelling Dynamic response of the specimen is compared with the experiments.

Failure analysis of tapered composite structures under tensile loading
Çelik, Ozan; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2016)
A three dimensional finite element modeling approach is used to evaluate the effects of preliminary design variables on the performance of tapered composite laminates under tensile loading. Hashin failure criteria combined with a progressive failure algorithm is used for in-plane failure mechanisms and cohesive zone method is used for out-of-plane failures. The modeling approach is validated by a comparison with experimental results from literature. The validated model is used to examine various design vari...
Forced vibration analysis of generally laminated composite beams using domain boundary element method
Ahmed, Zubair; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Forced dynamic response of generally laminated composite beam is analyzed by boundary element method. Static fundamental solutions are used as weight functions in the weighted residual statements. The use of static fundamental solutions gives rise to a new formulation named as Domain Boundary Element Method. Displacement field of the generally laminated composite beam is written in accordance with first order shear deformation theory and equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle. Developed ...
Numerical investigation of stiffened composite panel into buckling and post buckling under combined loading
Akay, Erkan; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015)
This thesis presents the investigation of buckling and post buckling behaviour of stiffened thin walled laminated composite aerospace structures subjected to combined in-plane axial and shear loadings. Due to the fact that the state of stress developing especially in the post-buckling stage is quite complicated under the combined loading, the necessary computational model is usually based on Finite Element Modelling (FEM). In this study, after verifying the FEM methodology and completing the sensitivity stu...
Experimental and numerical study of spring-in angle in corner shaped composite parts
Çiçek, Kerem Furkan; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Kayran, Altan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
In this study, spring-in problem encountered in corner shaped composite parts which are made of Hexcel’s AS4/8552 unidirectional (UD) prepregs is investigated. For that purpose, a simple two dimensional (2-D) geometrical model available in the literature is implemented and spring-in is calculated according to this model. Then using autoclave process, U-shaped composite parts are manufactured and spring-in measurements are performed on these parts. Finally, a three dimensional (3-D) numerical model in ABAQUS...
Progressive interlaminar failure analysis in composite missile structures
Bartan Kumbasar, Büşra; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
Interlaminar damage in composite structures is very crucial because it may cause splitting of the layers and lead to progressive failure of the whole structure. Delamination initiation and progression must be predicted accurately to aid the design of composites structures. Objective of the thesis is to investigate the interlaminar progressive failure behavior of the composite wing of a missile manufactured by twill composite by finite element analysis and tests. For this purpose, before the analyses and tes...
