    Abstract: Weibull theory works well for brittle materials. However, its application to composites is not very clear. The present study is a comparative parametric evaluation of flexural and tensile strength ratios, and fiber bundle stresses of axial composites with brittle fiber bundles. A composite based model that utilizes Weibull’s theory is developed and... Show More

    Abstract: Hemming is a method used to combine the metal-based parts in automotive manufacturing. Generally, this method is using as an assembly method for closures as doors, hoods, tailgates and trunk lids in automotive bodies. A compound flanging and hemming die is mounted on a carriage for horizontal movement into and out of alignment with the anvil for su... Show More

    Abstract: In the present work a new damage model based on continuum damage mechanic was proposed to predict the nonlinear behavior of woven glass fiber composite under tensile test. The composite specimens were fabricated by hand lay-up method and they were put into a temperature and pressure controlled curing chamber. In order to perform the tensile test a ... Show More
