Publication Access status: Metadata only , Experimental Investigation of Unidirectional Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Plastics under High Strain RatesWhen a vehicle leaves the road, crash barriers stop it and prevent significant damage to the vehicle, its environment, and the occupants. Typically, such protection systems are made of simple steel, but fiber-reinforced composites can efficiently absorb and dissipate the impact energy at high-risk locations. In order to design such protective systems, material parameters under dynamic loading are necessary. Here, split Hopkinson pressure bar tests with unidirectional glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy of 58% glass fiber content are performed. The elastic response at strain rates between 300/s and 700/s in the loading direction parallel and perpendicular to the fiber is determined. From the measured data, a model of the time dependence of the elastic modulus is derived to enable the design engineer to lay out protective systems made of such GFRPs.Source Type:Article3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Access status: Metadata only , Topology Optimization with Matlab: Geometrically Non-Linear Optimum Solid Structures at Random Force Strengths(2023); ; This paper aims to investigate multiple large-strain topology-optimized structures, by interpreting their overlay as a probability density function. Such a strategy is suited to finding an optimum design of silicon electrodes subject to a random contact. Using this method, and prescribing a zero net-force constraint on the global system, the optimum structure is identified with a Schwarz P minimum-surface structure. Then, the optimum structure is subject to chemo-mechanically coupled cycling, in terms of an irreversible thermodynamic process, which shows the interplay between the mechanical and chemical fields. The Matlab-based optimization code is attached.Source Type:Article1
