Understanding and designing for damping in composite laminates has become a topic of
great interest; unfortunately, only limited viscoelastic property data is presently available …

The paper presents a theoretical evaluation on modal damping of hybrid fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) cable with smart damper design in long-span cable-stayed bridge. The …

Due to the poor thermal conductivity of composites and the material heating that occurs
during fatigue loading, high temperatures may appear in the laminate. Since the mechanical …

In this work, the mechanical properties of aged rubbers were investigated. Dynamic
properties of aged rubbers with various aging times, temperatures and pre-strains were …

The effective damping characteristics of a polymer-based unidirectional fiber-reinforced
composite are explored. A continuum micromechanical formulation is used to determine the …

The flexural damping behaviors of composite laminates were characterized analytically in
this study. A 2-D analytical model was developed based on the extension of Ni–Adams …

This article presents a numerical thermomechanical analysis and parametric study of steady
rolling tires that are treated as axisymmetric structures for simplification. Under periodic …

Thick laminate sections can be found from the tip to the root in most common wind turbine
blade designs. Obtaining accurate and reliable design data for thick laminates is subject of …

In order to calculate the contribution of out-of-plane stresses and strains to laminate
structural modal damping in FEM with fewer elements in thickness direction, composite …

Composite materials undoubtedly belong to one of the most studied classes of materials
nowadays. In order to model the behaviour of mechanical structures made of this type of …
