The failure of composite laminates under cyclic fatigue loads is complex, as multiple failure
mechanisms are in play at different scales and interact with each other. Predicting the …

Composite pipes are increasingly used in demanding applications thanks to their light
weight and corrosion resistance. To manage their integrity, tools able to predict their fatigue …

Fatigue of filament wound materials was investigated using Digital Image Correlation DIC
monitoring every 50th cycle of a high cycle fatigue test of a split disk ring sample. The ring …

A progressive FEA mechanical fatigue degradation model for composites was developed
and implemented using a UMAT user material subroutine in Abaqus. Numerical results were …

Composite pressure vessels are becoming widely used for transporting gas, lately also
hydrogen. In order to enable extensive use of the pressure vessels, it is critical to ensure …

Ett system for å koble komposittrør opp mot metallstrukturer har blitt utviklet ved NTNU.
Løsningen består av ett metallendestykke med bolter skrudd inn radielt. Egenskapene til et …
