I WANT TO find the flexural strength of laminated composites after it is subjected to cyclic loading

i have to use the output of the cyclic loading as the input to find the strength

i want to know the procedure for that

please help me out

Transient Dynamic Laminated Shell

Dear friends,

I am trying to find thife transient dynamics response of clamped clamped laminated cylindrical shell subjected to Radial impulsive load. I am getting very irregular response using Newmark Integration scheme. But, using HHT-alpha method, high frequency noise from the response gets removed, but damping is intrdoced (Numerical Damping). Although i have not introduced and damping in my model. How to overcome this problem.

I need help in this regard.

Post doc: Buckling in soft polymeric materials

Submitted by velankar on Fri, 02/21/2014 - 22:49

job

A post-doctoral position is available in the lab of Sachin Velankar at the University of Pittsburgh to examine buckling instabilities in soft polymeric materials. The project is experimental, and therefore some past experimental experience with polymers is desirable. However this project requires a thorough understanding of elastic instabilities, and therefore a comprehensive grasp of mechanics is absolutely essential – indeed more important than past experimental expertise.
