Moisture Diffusion in Multi-Layered Materials: The Role of Layer Stacking and Composition
Shaojie Zhang, Yuhao Liu, Peng Feng +1
Multi-layered materials are everywhere, from fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) to plywood sheets to layered rocks. When in service, these materials are often exposed to l…
Elucidating the Mechanisms of Damage in Foam Core Sandwich Composites under Impact Loading and Low Temperatures
Alejandra Castellanos, Pavana Prabhakar
Recent interest in Arctic exploration has brought new challenges concerning the mechanical behavior of lightweight materials for offshore structures. Exposure to seawater and cold…
Fiber Packing and Morphology Driven Moisture Diffusion Mechanics in Reinforced Composites
Sabarinathan P. Subramaniyan, Muhammad A. Imam, Pavana Prabhakar
Fiber reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) materials are extensively used in lightweight applications due to their high specific strength and other favorable properties including en…
Flexural response of concurrently 3D printed sandwich composite
Bharath H S, Dileep Bonthu, Suhasini Gururaja +2
Among many lightweight materials used in marine applications, sandwich structures with syntactic foam core are promising because of lower water uptake in foam core amid face-sheets…
Difference-Based Deep Learning Framework for Stress Predictions in Heterogeneous Media
Haotian Feng, Pavana Prabhakar
Stress analysis of heterogeneous media, like composite materials, using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become commonplace in design and analysis. However, determining stress dis…
3D Printed Lightweight Composite Foams
Bharath H S, Dileep Bonthu, Pavana Prabhakar +1
The goal of this paper is to enable 3D printed lightweight composite foams by blending hollow glass micro balloons (GMB) with high density polyethylene (HDPE). To that end, lightwe…
