He will accept the Starnes Award on April 10, 2013 at an awards reception This prestigious award befits his leadership in and impact on the field of structural engineering," said Rod Alferness, Dean of the College of Engineering. The efficiency of composite structures raises through functional integration. This ingenious structural design made the composite material integrated into the phenolic foam materials outstanding strength, lightweight, sound insulation, heat insulation and fireproof performance. 2003 (PhD), A D Bailey, “The Effect of damage on energy absorption potential of composite structures”, The University of Nottingham, Nottingham. And through reinforced structure, effectively overcome the crisp and low strength problems of phenolic foam, at the same time, it overcome the traditional honeycomb, foam sandwich structure composite material shortcomings of poor lamination and impact resistance. We are able to design and engineer complex structures and shapes that are either fully composite or require composite components, for any industry, from civil and architectural to marine through transportation. Dr Homayoun Hadavinia - The Faculty of Science, Engineering and. The award recognizes Kedward's significant lifelong contributions in the field of composite structural mechanics, and his devotion to the mentoring of students and colleagues. Structures Under Shock and Impact XII | Structural Engineering. €When composite materials first were introduced as structural components, designers and engineers were using such high safety factors that they didn't need to look at cyclic failure [failure caused by repeated use],” Oskay says. A 42 months postgraduate studentship is available in the Impact Engineering Laboratory, Department of Engineering Science for investigation of the strain rate dependent behaviour of composite materials. To increasing the safety of composite application, it is necessary to investigate the mechanism of composite structure impact resistance, based on both theory and experiment, to analyze the experiments and to calculate the structure, its strength and behavior, so to improve the ability of resisting impact of composite and orient engineering design of composite structures.This paper carried impact test for fiber reinforced composite laminate by air-gun. The specific Passive functions can be improved by combination of different materials from nano to macro scale, i.e. Our focus is to design structures optimized to the client's requirements using the unique advantages offered by composite materials such as freedom of form, light weight, stiffness, corrosion resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation and low impact on the environment. Strength, toughness, bearing strength, compression after impact properties or production tolerances. On the one hand, the textile-like dense continuous fiber-reinforced structures are difficult to shape, on the other, joining the continuous fibers with a highly viscous thermoplastic matrix material is a highly complex process. Composite Aero-Structures, Impact. 2005 – Keynote Speech, The Impact Loading of Lightweight Structures Conference, WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, Costao Do Santinho, Florianopolis, Brazil, 8 – 12 May 2005; • 2004 – Keynote Speech, 4th International DEKRA Symposium on . €As we get more confidence with the materials, it becomes “We're trying to bring the impact of multiscale modeling, which has had a tremendous impact on academia, to something that can be useful in industry. Active functions can be realized The book provides basics as well as inspiring ideas for engineers working in the field of adaptive, tolerant and robust composite structures. The testing hardware, software, and procedures were developed and built in the Aerospace Structures/Composites laboratory at Cal Poly for approximately 15% of the cost from the manufacturer.
