The purpose of this paper is to simulate and investigate the thermomechanical properties of graphene-reinforced nanocomposites.

Damage characteristics in laminated composite structures subjected to low-velocity impact

Konstantinos Stamoulis, Stelios K. Georgantzinos, G.I. Giannopoulos

The present study deals with the numerical modeling of the low-velocity impact damage of laminated composites which have increasingly important applications in aerospace primary…

Critical parameters affecting mass loss of steel reinforcement

Argyro Drakakaki, Alkiviadis Apostolopoulos, Charis Apostolopoulos

The safety of reinforced concrete structures is generally related to the expected service life of their individual materials. Corrosion damage manifesting on steel reinforcement…

FE analysis of strain constraint around the crack tip under cyclic loading

Jakub Šedek, Roman Růžek, Vladislav Oliva

The purpose of this paper is to deal with the FE analysis of strain constraint around the crack tip under cyclic loading and its utilization using crack growth prediction strip…

Dynamic behaviour of composite panels under acoustic loading

Jiří Běhal, Pavel Zděnek

There are structural elements on the aircraft that may be exposed to high-intensity sound levels. One of them is an air inlet duct of the jet engine. To prepare data for the air…

High-speed impact assessment for composite air inlet

Radek Doubrava, Martin Oberthor, Petr Bělský, Jan Raška

The purpose of this paper is to describe the approach for the design of a jet engine composite air inlet for a new generation of jet trainer aircraft from the perspective of…
