What is Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing ? Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a symbolic language used in engineering and manufacturing to communicate design specifications and tolerances for the…
Designing composite materials to withstand torsional loads involves considering the unique properties and behaviors of composite materials in response to such loading conditions. Torsional loads design involves taking into…
As commented in previous posts, composite material joints require an in-depth analysis due to the problems that can appear if are not performed correctly. That’s why in this post…
Structural buckling is an out-of-plane deflection under compression, with advanced composites showing various instability forms. Buckling load is calculated using Euler's equation, considering material properties and component dimensions.
Inserts enhance sandwich panel strength and stiffness, distributing localized loads via materials like metals and contributing differently across tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion. Four insert types exist for varying load conditions.
Bonded joints are lightweight with better stress distribution but are irreversible, sensitive to temperature and humidity, and need excellent surface preparation. Multiple types are designed for specific loads, and failure can occur in adhesive or material. Proper surface prep and laminate orientation are critical.
