Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of Composite Materials: Past, Present, and Future
TL;DR: In this article, composites are described at various levels of sophistication and attendant scales of application and a discussion is developed using selected, but typical, examples of each composite mechanics discipline identifying degree of success, with respect to correlation with experimental data, and problems remaining.
Book ChapterDOI
Failure Criteria for Filamentary Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-level, linear, semi-empirical theory for a failure criterion is described, which predicate the strength behavior of undirectional filamentary composites under uniaxial and combined stress from basic constituent material properties and fabrication process considerations.
Book
Probabilistic Simulation of Multi-Scale Composite Behavior
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology is developed to computationally assess the probabilistic composite behavior at all composite scales (from micro to structural) due to the uncertainties in the constituent (fiber and matrix) properties, in the fabrication process and in structural variables (primitive variables).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Probabilistic Simulation of Multi-Scale Composite Behavior
TL;DR: Results show that probabilistic fatigue can be simulated for different temperature amplitudes and for different cyclic stress magnitudes, and that laminate configurations can be selected to increase the redome reliability by several orders of magnitude without increasing the laminate thickness––a unique feature of structural composites.

Hybrid composite laminate structures
Christos C. Chamis,R. F. Lark +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, metal foils are selectively disposed within the laminate to produce increased resistance to high velocity impact, fracture, surface erosion, and other stresses within a laminate.
