The relationship between the input stress and the output flux density of giant magnetostrictive devices exhibits hysteretic nonlinearity and magnetoelastic coupling inherent to giant magnetostrictive material (GMM). To design and use these devices, it is necessary to establish an accurate model. In

โฆ Synopsis
Compression loadings in thick composites can in some cases lead to three-dimensional states of stress with a compressive mean stress. Models are examined in the present work that attempt to predict the effects of this compressive mean stress on the compression strength of carbon/epoxy fiber composites. The models assume that the fibers have an initial misalignment, and that composite failure occurs when the fiber matrix bond strength is exceeded. Literature values for the effect of pressure on bond strength are included. Comparisons with experimental data from the literature support the predicted increase in comparison strength with pressure.

The present study examines the effects of the strain rate on the compressive properties of carbon fiber-reinforced composite in a submarine environment. The material system used was graphite/epoxy prepreg tapes, where the volume fraction of fiber was 64%. Compressive tests have been performed in thr
A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) analysis of the stress situation around a fibre break in a unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composite has been performed. Two cases were considered: (i) good fibre/matrix adhesion and (ii) fibre/ matrix debonding. In the case of good adhesion
