Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Progressive collapse of this externally-pressurised doubly-curved composite shells, from woven cloth, is to be investigated. This includes development of theoretical/numerical model(s) for the post first ply failure region. The numerical predictions of the difference in strength between the first-ply failure (FPF) and the last-ply failure pressures will be compared with experiments. The behaviour of composite shells in the post FPF region is of great practical importance. We aim here to capture the correct mechanisms of failure and reliable predictions of same backed by experiment.
