Abstract:
Considering the non-linearity, complexity and anisotropy of constitutive equations in composite materials, numerical methods are essential to evaluate the behaviour of this material. The finite element method (FEM) is a powerful computational technique for the solution of differential and integral equations that arise in various fields of engineering and applied science such as composite materials. Here, an FEM tool is designed to analyse non-linearity in the behaviour of composites caused by the effect of transverse shear and twist in laminated composite plates. The tool is established by using FEM for composites in ABAQUS combined with programming in Python to run the tests for all possible fibre orientations in laminated composite plates. It is shown that the tool has the ability to design laminated composite plates by considering the effect of transverse shear and the tool’s output provides results for all different fibre orientations. It is demonstrated that there is good agreement between numerical results obtained from this tool and experimental results. The advantages of the tool give designers the opportunity to use this tool for wide range of products.

Abstract:
A composite material is a combination of different material which can be assembled to provide required engineering properties like bending, buckling, stiffness etc. It can give better properties than those of individual components. A lamina is the building block of modern composite laminated structures. A lamina is also known as a ply, or a layer. A laminate has several layers of lamina, or laminae. Since the early years of engineering, various types of laminated composite materials have been used in various engineering fields, such as in aerospace, military and automotive industries that are subjected to high temperatures. Thermal stress caused due to change in temperature, increase in temperature causes the changes in material properties of a plate which in turn complicates the analysis and design and may affect the structure also. Therefore, the analysis of thermal stress in design of structure is very important. A critical review of available literature for the prediction of the behaviour of laminated composites under thermal conditions is carried out and summarized. This work attempts to review the studies carried out from 2000 on laminated composite plates by representing classification based on Classical laminate plate concept, First order shear deformation theory, Higher order shear deformation theory, Layerwise theory and Thermal stress on laminated plates.

Abstract:
Electrically conductive composite bipolar plates consisting of resole-typed phenol formaldehyde resin and natural flake graphite (NFG) have been fabricated by compression molding technique at room temperature. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of NFG content, molding pressure, and nano-sized carbon black (NCB) on the properties of composite bipolar plates. The NFG/resin composite plates have been studied for various properties including electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. It has been observed that the composite plates prepared at NFG content of 45 wt%, NCB content of 4.5 wt%, and molding pressure of 15 MPa have optimum properties. Under optimal conditions, bipolar plates showed better properties at bulk density 1.79 g/cc, electrical conductivity 358 S/cm, flexural strength 29.3 MPa, compressive strength 43.6 MPa, water absorption 0.34% and surface microhardness 72.6 HV. Additionally, the plates were thermally stable up to 300°C. Hence, NFG/resin composites successfully fulfil the DOE-2015 requirements for bipolar plates in PEM fuel cells.

Abstract:
Transport industry plays a vital role in development of economy of countries. To increase the load carrying capacity of the truck, the weight of truck bed may be reduced using fibre reinforced composite material. In this work, a numerical investigation is performed to reduce the weight of the truck bed using different types of laminated composites. An extensive study is conducted using unidirectional and woven fibres of glass, carbon and Kevlar fibres with polyester, epoxy and vinyl ester resins. Carbon fibre laminated plates have higher stiffness than Glass and Kevlar composite plates. Asymmetrically hybrid composite plates have lower stiffness than symmetrically hybrid composite plates. It is observed that the stiffness of plate is increased when kevlar unidirectional fibres are arranged at top and bottom of the laminate. [K/Gw]S hybrid composite plates has the lowest deflection than other five hybrid composite plates. An optimization study is performed to identify the influencing parameter for deflection of the composite materials among material type, fibre volumetric fraction and the thickness of plate using Taguchi method. The results revealed that thickness of the plate has more influential than other two parameters.

Abstract:
A mathematical model for plates with partially delaminated layers is presented to investigate their behavior. In this formulation account is taken of lateral strains. The principal advantage of the element is that it allows the modeling of delamination anywhere in the structure. The region without delamination is modeled to carry constant peel and shear stresses; while the region with delamination is modeled by assuming that there is no peel and shear stress transfer between the top and bottom layers. Numerical results of the present model are presented and its performance is evaluated for static problems. Laminated beams and plates are often used as primary load-carrying structures. However, the mechanical properties of composite materials may degrade severely in the presence of damage. One of the common types of damage modes in laminated composites is delamination. The presence of delamination is one of the most prevalent life-limiting failure modes in laminated composite structures. Many researchers had been studying the effect of delamination. Wee and Boay [1] developed an analytical model to predict the critical load of a delaminated composite laminated beam. Lee et al. [2] investigated the buckling behavior of the beam plate with multiple delaminations under compression. Kapania and Wolfe [3] examined the buckling behavior of a beam plate with two delaminations of equal length. Wang et al. [4] improved the analytical solution by including the coupling between the flexural and axial vibrations of the delaminated sub-laminates. Lee et al. [5] studied a composite beam with arbitrary lateral and longitudinal multiple delamination. Finite-element methods have been developed using the layerwise theory by Kim et al. [6]. Tan and Tong [7] developed a dynamic analytical model for the identification of delamination embedded in a laminated composite beam. To investigate the effects of delamination of a plate layers, a finite-element model is developed. Both displacement continuity and force equilibrium conditions are imposed between the regions with and without delamination. The accuracy of the approach is verified by comparing results with previously published data.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the analysis of active constrained layer damping (ACLD) of smart skew laminated composite plates. The constraining layer of the ACLD treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composites (PZCs). A finite element model has been developed for accomplishing the task of the active constrained layer damping of skew laminated symmetric and antisymmetric cross-ply and antisymmetric angle-ply composite plates integrated with the patches of such ACLD treatment. Both in-plane and out-of-plane actuations by the constraining layer of the ACLD treatment have been utilized for deriving the finite element model. The analysis revealed that the vertical actuation dominates over the in-plane actuation. Particular emphasis has been placed on investigating the performance of the patches when the orientation angle of the piezoelectric fibers of the constraining layer is varied in the two mutually orthogonal vertical planes. Also, the effects of varying the skew angle of the substrate laminated composite plates and different boundary conditions on the performance of the patches have been studied. The analysis reveals that the vertically and the obliquely reinforced 1–3 PZC materials should be used for achieving the best control authority of ACLD treatment, as the boundary conditions of the smart skew laminated composite plates are simply supported and clamped-clamped, respectively.

Abstract:
The use of composite materials has vastly increased in recent years. Great interest is therefore developed in the damage detection of composites using non- destructive test methods. Several approaches have been applied to obtain information about the existence and location of the faults. This paper used the vibration response of a composite plate to detect and localize delamination defect based on the modal analysis. Experiments are conducted to validate the developed model. A two-dimensional finite element model for multi-layered composites with internal delamination is established. FEM program are built for plates under different boundary conditions. Natural frequencies and modal displacements of the intact and damaged multi-layer composite plates are subsequently analyzed for various samples. Also, composite plates are made for vibration testing and analysis and to comparison of the numerical and experimental results, shows good agreement between them.

Abstract:
The high-strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance properties of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites makes them potentially well-suited for application in ship structures, bridges and off-shore oil platforms. These structures are often formed by stiffened plates and are subjected to axial load and out-of-plane load. Cutouts and openings are provided in the plates for access and maintenance. The main objective of this study was to examine the buckling behavior of GFRP-stiffened composite plates with square cutouts under a combination of axial and out-of-plane load up to failure. Four blade-stiffened composite plates without a cutout and four with square cutout were fabricated with stiffeners as a continuous layup of the flange plate using glass fiber and epoxy resin. The initial geometric imperfections were measured, and plate imperfections (Δx), stiffener imperfections (Δsy) and overall imperfections (Δsx) were calculated from the measurements. All fabricated-stiffened composite plates were tested up to failure. The finite element model was developed in ANSYS software and validated with the experimental results. It was observed that GFRP-stiffened composite plates failed by stiffener compression/stiffener tension mode of failure. The presence of out-of-plane loads and cutouts reduced the axial load carrying capacity of the stiffened composite plates.

Abstract:
AbstractPreparing conductive composite bipolar plates for fuel cells by compression molding is a promising research direction. The very key point is how to choose the conductivity filler and binder to meet the requirement. In this article, natural graphite and expanded graphite were used as the filler, and phenolic resin and epoxy resin were used as the binder. The composite bipolar plates were prepared by solution intercalation mixing, compression molding, and curing. The variations in electrical conductivity and mechanical properties were evaluated with the resin content. The results show that the types of fillers and binders have significant effects on the performance of composite bipolar plates, and that the thermal stability of all composite bipolar plates is very good at the fuel-cell working temperature. The corrosion current densities were <16 μA/cm2, which indicates that the composites developed in this work meet many attributes of bipolar plates for use in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.

Abstract:
In this study, different proportions of gypsum composite reinforced with recycled cellulose fibers and expanded polystyrene were produced to study the properties of thermal conductivity, density, and flexural strength to be used as sealing plates to improve the thermal comfort of buildings. Different gypsum matrix composites were produced with varied proportions of cellulose fiber and expanded polystyrene, to analyze the influence of residues on the properties of the material. The thermal conductivity obtained for composites with greater amounts of expanded polystyrene was 0.18 W/mK, a 48% reduction in relation to plasterboard, improving thermal performance. The flexural strength was also analyzed, which met the minimum strength requirement for use as gypsum composites, however, it is not enough to be used in places that require mechanical resistance, thus it is indicated for sealing plates applications, improving the thermal performance of places where only plasterboard is used.

This study aimed at investigating the ballistic performance of Zr-based bulk metallic glass/Ti surface composites fabricated by high-energy electron-beam irradiation. The ballistic impact test was conducted on surface composite plates to evaluate the ballistic performance. Since the surface composite layers were observed to block effectively a fast traveling projectile, while many cracks were formed in the composite layers, the surface composite plates were not perforated. The surface composite layer containing ductile β dendritic phases showed the better ballistic performance than the one without containing dendrites because dendritic phases could hinder the propagation of shear bands or cracks.

In this study, multilayered composite plates with shape memory properties were produced: carbon fibers prepreg are alternated with layers of shape memory epoxy powder obtaining composite with different number of layers. The differences in the load exerted during shape recovery, and percentage and time of recovery of the composites as a function of layers number have been evaluated. In particular, the actuation load and the shape recovery percentage were measured after a V-shape memorizing step of the composites. The experimental results are very promising, showing that such multilayers can successfully recover the original shape without noticeable damages and an increasing of actuation load per layer has been found at the increase of the layers number.

Abstract This work presents a comprehensive study consisting of two aspects: a numerical analytical aspect and a laboratory experimental aspect. The numerical study was a three-dimensional finite element numerical analysis of performance of corroded and horizontally cracked aluminium plates, which were repaired by composite patching. The effect of the composite types on the variance of the damaged area of the adhesive (FM-73) and their efficiency on the stress intensity factor were studied. In the experimental study, corroded aluminium plates were prepared and repaired them using technology of the composite. The results showed that the panels that were repaired with composite (boron/epoxy) give values of stress intensity factor (KI) and damaged area ratio (DR) less than the other two studied composites (glass/epoxy and graphite/epoxy), and increase the ultimate strength of plates damage, and this leads to the conclusion that (Boron/epoxy) increases the performance and durability of (Al 2017-A) plates.

One of the major goals in the process of designing structural components is to achieve the highest possible buckling load of the structural component while keeping the cost and weight at a minimum. This paper illustrates the application of the harmony search algorithm to the buckling load maximisation of dispersed laminated composite plates with rectangular geometry. The ply thicknesses and fiber orientation angles of the plies were chosen as the design variables. Besides the commonly used carbon fiber reinforced composites, boron/epoxy and glass/epoxy composite plates were also optimised using the harmony search algorithm. Furthermore, the optimisation algorithm was applied to plates with three different aspect ratios (ratio of the longer side length to the shorter side length of the plate). The buckling loads of the plates with optimised dispersed stacking sequences were compared to the buckling loads of plates with the commonly applied 0°, ±45°, and 90° fiber angle sequence and identical ply thicknesses. For all three aspect ratios and materials in this study, the dispersed stacking sequences performed better than the plates with regular stacking sequences.

Considering the first order shear deformation theory individually for each layer of the sandwich plate, a three-dimensional finite element model has been developed. The performance of active fiber composite for the smart vibration control of the sandwich plates has been studied and numerical results are presented.

Abstract:
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been extensively used in airframes, train bodies, and engine blades for their properties of high strength, low weight, and good stability. The in-service structural performance of CFRP composites is always an important point to be investigated for its influence on structural safety. For this reason, CFRP composite plates assembled with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were developed, and the in-service structural characteristics of the CFRP plates were interpreted by FBG signals measured through time. A theoretical analysis supported by a numerical method has been provided. Experimental testing was conducted to check the proposed sensing technique for the dynamic response identification of the CFRP plate. The curing process of the bilayer CFRP plated inserted with FBGs in series was also explored. The results showed that the surface-attached FBGs in series could accurately characterize the dynamic response of the CFRP plate, and a good agreement between the numerical and testing results was observed. The strain and temperature distributions during the curing process of the bilayer plate indicated that the in-service structural performance of bilayer CFRP plates can be configured by the assembled FBG sensors. This study can support the structural health monitoring of projects by using CFRP composites.

Abstract:
Variable angle tow (VAT) describes fibres in a composite lamina that have been steered curvilinearly. In so doing, substantially enlarged freedom for stiffness tailoring of composite laminates is enabled. VAT composite structures have been shown to have improved buckling and postbuckling load carrying capability when compared to straight fibre composites. However, their structural analysis and optimal design is more computationally expensive due to the exponential increase in number of variables associated with spatially varying planar fibre orientations in addition to stacking sequence considerations. In this work, an efficient two-level optim isation framework using lamination parameters as design variables has been enhanced and general ised to the design of VAT plates. Explicit stiffness matrices are found in terms of component material invariants and lamination parameters. The convex hull property of B-splines is exploited to ensure point-wise feasibility of lamination parameters. In addition, a small set of explicit closed-form expressions is used to define the feasible region of two in-plane and two out-of-plane lamination parameters, which are used for the design of orthotropic laminates. Finally, numerical examples of plates under compression loading with different boundary conditions and aspect ratios are investigated. Reliable optimal solutions demonstrate the robustness and computational efficiency of the proposed optimisation methodology.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTNacre is a hierarchical multi-composite matrix consisting of mineral plate-like structures stacked up similar to brick and mortar. When impacted with a projectile this type of structure is expected to reduce the overall shock loading into the system as well as projectile velocity as a consequence of variations in structural stiffness between the composite plates and the organic interlayers. Bio-mimicked nacre derived from alumina as the base ceramic is also shown to have increased fracture toughness over an alumina monolith. One challenge to building the nacre alumina structure is the design and processing of the composite mineral plates which should be comprised of roughly 90-95% nano-filler and 5-10% organic binder. In order for these plates to accurately mimic the nacre mineral plates they must also emulate aspect ratios on the order of 1:10 to 1:20. This paper will discuss the design and processing of nacre-alumina plates for studies into the impact behavior of nacre composites.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel density-based concurrent topology optimization method to support the two-scale design of composite plates for vibration mitigation. To have exceptional damping performance, dynamic compliance of the composite plate is taken as the objective function. The complex stiffness model is used to describe the material damping and accurately consider the variation of structural response due to the change of damping composite material configurations. The mode superposition method is used to calculate the complex frequency response of the composite plates to reduce the heavy computational burden caused by a large number of sample points in the frequency range during each iteration. Both microstructural configurations and macroscopic distribution are optimized in an integrated manner. At the microscale, the damping layer consists of periodic composites with distinct damping and stiffness. The effective properties of the periodic composites are homogenized and then are fed into the complex frequency response analysis at the macroscale. To implement the concurrent topology optimization at two different scales, the design variables are assigned for both macro- and micro-scales. The adjoint sensitivity analysis is presented to compute the derivatives of dynamic compliance of composite plates with respect to the micro and macro design variables. Several numerical examples with different excitation inputs and boundary conditions are presented to confirm the validity of the proposed methodologies. This paper represents a first step towards designing two-scale composite plates with optional dynamic performance under harmonic loading using an inverse design method.

Abstract:
The parametric resonance or instability challenge in designing laminated composite is crucial in areas such as aeronautical and marine where structures experience dynamic loading. Shape memory alloy (SMA), a type of smart material, has been used to improve the structural behaviours of composite plate using its well-known property of shape memory effect. It is also known that mechanical couplings that exist in unsymmetric composite can increase the instability of the composite. In this study, the SMA property has been exploited to generate recovery stress in the composite to improve its parametric instability problem. The unsymmetric composites were embedded with SMA fibres, and the formulation for the dynamic instability of this composites was developed using finite element method. The third-order shear deformation theory of composite was applied. The results were initially validated for the case of composite without SMA. Following that, the parametric instability behaviour of unsymmetric composites was studied under the effect of several parameters. It was found that the mechanical couplings that exist in the unsymmetric composite have increased the instability of the composite, but the presence of the SMA can significantly reduce this instability.

Abstract:
Guided wave attenuation in composites due to material damping is strong, anisotropic, and cannot be neglected. Material damping is a critical parameter in selection of a particular wave mode for long-range structural health monitoring in composites. In this article, a semi-analytical finite element approach is presented to model guided wave excitation and propagation in damped composite plates. The theoretical framework is formulated using finite element method to describe the material behavior in the thickness direction while assuming analytical expressions in the wave propagation direction along the plate. In the proposed method, the Kelvin–Voigt damping model using a complex frequency-dependent stiffness matrix is utilized to account for anisotropic damping effects of composites. Thus, the existing semi-analytical finite element approach is being extended to include material damping effect. Theoretical predictions are experimentally validated using scanning laser Doppler vibrometer measurements of guided wave propagation generated by a circular piezoelectric wafer active sensor transducer in a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite plate. The proposed method achieves good agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract:
In this article, we present a finite element model for the three-dimensional analysis of smart constrained layer damping of geometrically nonlinear vibrations of laminated fuzzy-fiber reinforced composite plates. The three-dimensional fractional derivative constitutive relation is implemented for the viscoelastic layer. The constraining layer of the smart constrained layer damping treatment is composed of the vertically/obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composites. The von Kármán–type nonlinear strain–displacement relations are used to incorporate the geometric nonlinearity in the model. The main aim of this article is to numerically investigate the effect of carbon nanotube waviness on the nonlinear smart damping. Several thin laminated substrate fuzzy-fiber reinforced composite plates with straight carbon nanotubes and wavy carbon nanotubes with different waviness in different planes are considered with various boundary conditions and stacking sequences to numerically compute their effect on smart damping. The performance of the obliquely reinforced 1–3 piezoelectric composites is discussed and the efficacy of the present smart finite element model in terms of active control authority is also presented.

Abstract:
Most of the work done for the vibration of composite plates published in the literature is either analytical or numerical studies with few experimental results available on composites with unidirectional fibers. The present study involves extensive experimental works to investigate the free vibration of industry driven woven fiber glass/epoxy composite plates with different boundary conditions including free–free cases. The modern modal testing and subsequent analysis with powerful computer and digital analysis system is an important tool for prediction of behavior of structures. The specimens of woven glass fiber and epoxy matrix composite plates are manufactured by the hand-layup technique. Elastic parameters of the plate are also determined experimentally by tensile testing of specimens using INSTRON 1195. An experimental investigation is carried out using modal analysis technique with Fast Fourier Transform Analyzer, PULSE lab shop, impact hammer and contact accelerometer to obtain the frequency response functions. The computational results are compared with results of previous studies in literature wherever available. The experimental results are also compared with the FEM numerical analysis based on first-order shear deformation theory. The effects of different geometrical parameters including number of layers, aspect ratio, fiber orientation and different boundary conditions of woven fiber composite plates are studied in detail. It is observed that comparisons performed between numerical predictions and experimental tests have a good correlation. The natural frequency is very less for cantilever than simply supported and fully clamped boundary conditions. The prediction of dynamic behavior of laminated composite plates plays a significant role in the future applications of structural composites.

Abstract:
This article presents an overview of use, advantages, and challenges related to ceramic gas turbines. The research shows that if these ceramic parts perform as promised, both operationally and economically, it could radically alter the jet engine industry. The promise of ceramics is that by taking advantage of their lower weight and superior high temperature properties, one could replace the complex air-cooled metal components with simpler ceramic components more tolerant of high temperatures. However, one difficulty engineers have had in developing ceramic components is the inability to put promising designs in production gas turbines for a true ‘beta’ test. GE plans to expand its application of ceramic matrix composites use in its 100,000-pound thrust GE9X engine, now under development for Boeing’s 777X airframe and scheduled to enter service in 2020. It will feature CMC combustion liners, high-pressure turbine stators, and first-stage shrouds. The jet engine industry has since developed successful composite fans; however, the inaugurating company got off to a rocky start.

Abstract:
Microwave absorbing properties of composites containing activated carbon-fiber felt screens (ACFFSs) have been investigated. Samples with different types of ACFFSs embedded in composites were fabricated. Experiments were carried out to test the absorption effect of embedded ACFFSs. It is found that both the ACFFS patterns and its element configurations are critical for the reflection properties of samples. With the distance between strips and the width of strips in the inductive ACFFS decreased, the absorbing properties of composites are improved. The composite obtains a reflection loss below –10dB in 8~18GHz, which is the frequency range the radar works in, when the distance between strips and the width of strips are 7mm and 5mm respectively. With the side of plates and the distance between plates in the capacitive ACFFS reduced, the absorption effect of composites rises. When the distance between plates and the side of plates are 5mm and 7mm separately, the composite achieves a reflection loss below –10dB over a bandwidth of 8.7GHz and the minimum value of absorption rate reaches –31.7dB.

Abstract:
In this investigation, thin Aluminum alloys 2A12 and Copper T2 composite plates which are both 1mm thick were obtained successfully by the method of explosive welding. The effect of annealing on the interface microstructures of the composite plates was investigated under different temperatures. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, micro-hardness test and bending test were performed. The results demonstrated that the Al/Cu composite plates were bonded well. The bonding interface of the Al/Cu composite plates had a wavy form. Micro-hardness measurements showed that the hardness of the composite plates near the interface was higher than other parts and the hardness of the whole composite plates was lower after annealing. The bending test showed the composite plates can be deformed or shaped.

Abstract:
In this work, there are presented overviews of theoretical and numerical models for defining the stress-strain state in the cross section of moderately thick and thick composite plates in case of bending. Layered composite plates are constructed by combination of layers of various materials and geometrical characteristics, wherein each of them has got a bearing capacity in previously defined directions. By applying Equivalent Single-layer Laminate Theory (or ESL theory) these layers' problems cannot be solved successfully. That is the reason to apply contemporary theories of plates, in literature known as Layerwise theories. At the end of this work, there are given numeric examples of applying Partial Layerwise Theory.

Abstract:
This paper presents an investigation on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of three-phase rectangular composite plates made of cross-ply macro fiber composites (MFC) in the polymer with graphene (GP) skins, which are uniformly dispersed at the top and bottom surfaces of the plates. According to the mixture rules for multi-components of composite materials, the constitutive laws for MFC-GP composite materials can be obtained. A simply-supported rectangular plate model subjected to a transversal excitation in thermal environments is considered. The governing equations are formulated by using the first-order shear deformation theory, von Kármán geometrical kinematics and Hamilton’s principle. The Galerkin approach is used to discretize the governing equations for analysis. The vibration frequencies of MFC-GP composite plates with different modes are presented and the case of 1:2 internal resonance is selected to be investigated here. Three different coupled forms (i.e. uncoupled, weakly coupled and strongly coupled cases) of two vibration modes are presented. In addition, the influences of various parameters, including volume fraction of graphene, applied voltage, temperature effect and external excitation, on the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of MFC-GP composite plates are also examined.

Abstract:
This article investigates the nonlinear bending of functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite plate with dielectric permittivity. Three functionally graded graphene platelet distribution patterns are considered in this study. Effective medium theory is adopted to determine tensile modulus and dielectric permittivity while rule of mixture is used to determine Poisson’s ratio of graphene platelet–reinforced composites. Governing equations for nonlinear bending of the functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite plates are established based on Hamilton’s principle within the framework of first-order shear deformation plate theory and von Kármán geometrical nonlinearity. Through differential quadrature method, the governing equations are numerically solved and the nonlinear bending behaviors of the functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite plates are obtained. The influences of functionally graded distribution pattern, graphene platelet volume fraction and the attributes of electrical loadings on the bending behaviors of the plates are comprehensively examined. It is demonstrated that the performances of the functionally graded graphene platelet–reinforced composite plates can be designed and actively tuned through adjusting several parameters, which will be helpful to develop graphene platelet–reinforced smart materials and structures.

Abstract:
Polymer blending was used by adding different proportions (5, 10, 15 and 20 wt %) of the short carbon fiber into the high impact polypropylene (PP) matrix to reinforce the matrix’s mechanical property. The carbon fiber was melt blended with the PP matrix. The mixture was repeatedly processed by the single-screw extrusion into chips, which later became the composite plate by the injection molding machine. In this study, the effect of the repeatedly process on the PP/Carbon fiber composite plate’s mechanical property was examined. The tensile strength of the mixture having one process and six processes were 886 N and 857 N respectively. The impact strength of the composite plates processed for once was 334 J/m while that of the plates processed for six times was 325 J/m. The three-point bending of the composite plate processed once was 30 MPa when that of the plate processed for six times was 28 MPa. The more the times of the process, the weaker the composite plate’s mechanical property became. The carbon fiber was used to reinforce PP’s mechanical property. This study will be applied in the industry.

To describe vibration characteristic of composite laminated plates with various fiber orientations, a composite laminated finite element, which follows classical lamination theory, was constructed. In each ply of rectangular composite laminated plates, the fiber orientation changes with respect to the horizontal coordinate. Natural frequencies and mode shapes of composite laminated plates were studied. The first six natural frequencies and mode shapes of composite laminated plates with various fiber orientations are obtained. The accuracy of this composite laminated element is verified by comparing numerical and theoretical results. The results show that the changes of fiber orientation bring a greater degree of flexibility for structure design of composite laminated plates, which can be used to adjust frequencies and mode shapes of composite laminated plates according to practical engineering need.

Abstract:
This paper proposes the use of a simulated annealing (SA) approach to the optimal design of multilayered composite plate structures. The orientation fibres and the number of layers in laminated composites play a major role in determining strength and stiffness. Therefore, the basic design problem is to determine the optimum stacking sequence of the composite laminate. The SA technique is employed to obtain the optimum fibre orientation of multilayered composite plates, so as to maximize fundamental natural frequency. The composite plate is discretized and analysed by a finite element (FE) analysis procedure using a computer program written in C language. The inverse iteration method is employed to obtain the fundamental frequency of a laminated plate with a given number of layers and fibre orientations in each layer. Both symmetric and antisymmetric fibre angles are considered. The optimum results of fibre orientations are compared with the conventional random walk (RW) method.

A double-lap bolted composite joint was designed. In the joint, the base material was woven glass fibre–reinforced epoxy (WGF/Epoxy) composite, and the outer plates were WGF/Epoxy, woven carbon fibre–reinforced epoxy (WCF/Epoxy) and WGF/WCF/Epoxy hybrid composite laminates, respectively. Fundamental mechanical properties of the composite panels were determined. Flexural testing of the designed bolted joints was performed. Scanning electron microscopy was used to compare the damage modes. The interlaminar curves could be divided into different stages. The flexural load–displacement curves had progressive damage characteristics. The strengths of joints with hybrid composite panel as outer plates were between those of pure specimens, and hybrid composites with WGF as contact surface had a positive hybrid effect.
