Description
Summary:This project investigates the materials mechanical responses due to holes by using both computational and experimental approaches. The computational approach will be based on using suitable programs or software. In general, the project will determine: 1. Stress-distribution along the specimen width for any laminate type, and 2. Prediction of notched strength using appropriate formulation and Computational method. Polymeric composite based on continuos glass carbon and organic fibers have found wide application in many branches of modern engineering. High - strength and high - modulus reinforced plastics posses a unique combination of mechanical technological and service properties. They differ from other traditional structural materials in the fact that the design of composite components and articles cannot be carried out separately from the design and development of initial materials, beginning with the selection and preparation of raw materials. This mentioned about cracks & holes found in service and their discremental effects on the materials performance. Hence the importance of predicting the strength due to the presence of these defect.
