This paper investigates the effect of loading rate on the mixed-mode I/II fracture behavior of
PolymethylMethacrylate (PMMA). Experimental studies are performed using a novel fracture …

Thin-walled double-layered gap tube (DLGT) has a promising potential to be widely used in
making aerospace pipeline systems and the complicated structures in many industrial …

Experiments were carried out to study the effect of spacing between wall and thin fuels on
upward flame spread. The front flame height, back flame height, pyrolysis height, burnout …

Airborne drone collision on commercial manned aircraft has received extensive awareness
due to the increasing drone operations in the restricted airspace. In addition, the bird strike …

Abstract The Johnson and Cook (JC) flow stress and damage model parameters of a
polycarbonate (PC) plate were determined by the mechanical tests and numerical …

During the rotary draw bending process of aluminum alloy double-layered gap tube, filler
needs to be added in the gap between inner and outer tubes. Different filler materials and …

Numerical simulations of bird-striking composite plates were conducted by using smoothed
particle hydrodynamics and finite element method to evaluate the failure criteria. The …

Nanosized inorganic oxides have the trends to improve many characteristics of solid
polymer insulation. In this work, the characteristics of improved poly (vinyl …

Nacre, a natural nanocomposite with a brick-and-mortar structure existing in the inner layer
of mollusk shells, has been shown to optimize strength and toughness along the laminae (in …

This study proposes a three-dimensional elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model to depict the
rate-and temperature-dependent behaviour of poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) under a …
