A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of delaminated fiber-reinforced composite plates is developed to analyze their dynamics. Natural frequencies and modal displacements are calculated for various case studies with different dimensions and delamination characteristics. Numerical results sho

β¦ Synopsis
Composites composed of closed solid wall cells enclosing a fluid are examined in this paper. The analysis of their stiffness in compression includes the effects of fluids in the cell interiors. A specialized finite element program is developed to account for the internal pressure. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometries are considered. The finite element calculations are then used to predict the compressive stiffness of fluid filled metal cell composites.

Previous analytical models for studying the response of textile reinforced composite materials have been based on either a homogenization of the textile architecture or a representation of the architecture with a type of three-dimensional classical lamination theory. In either case, the analyses are
Closed-cell cellular materials exhibit several interesting properties. These properties are, however, very difficult to simulate and understand from the knowledge of the cellular microstructure. This problem is mostly due to the highly complex organization of the cells and to their very fine walls.
## Abstract A twoβdimensional finite element model is developed to simulate and analyze the mechanisms pertaining to resin flow, heat transfer, and consolidation of laminated composites during autoclave processing. The model, which incorporates some of the best features of models already in existen
