Showing papers on "Mixture theory published in 1980"
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear mixture theory with microstructure for quasi-one-dimensional heat conduction in fiber-reinforced composites is constructed for temperature dependent thermal properties, and the results imply that variations of thermal properties with temperature can lead to significant differences between linear and nonlinear solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a binary mixture theory with microstructure is constructed for symmetric angle-ply laminates with orthotropic laminae, and for motion which, on the average, is planar.
Abstract: A binary mixture theory with microstructure is constructed for symmetric angle-ply laminates with orthotropic laminae, and for motion which, on the average, is planar. Model construction is based on an asymptotic scheme wherein the dominant signal wavelength is assumed to be large when compared to a typical composite microdimension. A numerical study of the phase velocity spectrum associated with the resulting theory reveals that dispersion is directionally dependent and may be strong depending upon the propagation direction and lay-up angle. Typical results are presented for glass/epoxy, boron/epoxy, and graphite/epoxy composites.
