Free Vibration Analysis of a Centre-Cracked Plate at Various Orientations through Finite Element Method
Abstract: The free vibration analysis of square centre-cracked plate at various orientations is investigated using the finite element method. In this research, the effect of cracked orientation, variation in cracked length, and variation in thickness of the plate are investigated. Consideration for a variety of edge condition is given through a combination of simply supported, free boundary and clamped boundary condition and determined the mode shapes and natural frequency of a …

Calculate the natural frequencies with Cracked for Hybrid Unidirectional Composite Plate
Abstract: A mathematical model was built by using ANSYS (2D, 3D) models and MATLAB to represent composite materials. The natural frequencies were calculated for type of composite plates with of boundary conditions clamped from each edge (CCCC). In the vibration analysis, the finite element and MATLAB results showed there was an increase in the first, second and third natural frequencies by increasing the volumetric fraction of the fiber.In the cracked plate, …

An Evaluation of Cracks Repairing Techniques in Metals
Abstract: Cracks are surface that develop in a material. Dissemination energy derived from mechanical, thermal, chemical, and metallurgical effects, or a grouping of these may affect crack beginning and growth. Numerous types of cracks exist in metals and can be characterized as grinding, solidification, cooling, crater, machining tears, plating, centerline, pickling, heat treatment, fatigue, creep, stress corrosion and hydrogen cracks. Cracks can grow and lead to complete fracture of the component …

Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

Optimisation of Ratio of Center Distance of Adjacent Hole to Diameter of Pre-stressed Holes by FEA
Abstract: Residual compressive stress zone around a fastener hole is introduced by a process called pre-stressing. This is being done to reduce adverse effect of cyclic tensile stress and to restrict the fatigue crack growth due to material flaws or imperfect surfaces. The objective of this investigation is to optimize the inter-hole distance between adjacent cold expanded holes on a plate restricting the deformation of material between holes to the elastic …

Improving Prestressed Concrete Box Girders Using Polymer Composites: Experimental Findings and Analysis
Abstract: Prestressed concrete box girder bridges exhibit complex structural behavior due to various loading scenarios. Extensive studies, both experimental and numerical, have helped advance their use in engineering. The spatial stress in prestressed concrete box girder bridges, especially during construction and service phases, has been analyzed using shell cells, which provide more accurate tensile stress data than beam cells. The deck with the numerous hat section was evaluated in the current …
