Comparison of natural frequencies of composite cylindrical shells: A squared lattice with its equivalent seamless one
, Article Proceedings of the ASME Design Engineering Technical Conference, 15 August 2010 through 18 August 2010 ; Volume 5 , 2010 , Pages 835-841 ; 9780791844137 (ISBN) ; Jam, J. E ; Hashemian, A. H ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Modern Latticed composite materials whose high specific strength and stiffness are utilized in spacecraft and rocket structures to a sufficiently high extent are now widely used in primary airframe structures. In this work a comparison between squared latticed composite cylinder shells and the equivalent hollow cylinder with same weight, outer radius, length and material is done. An analytical equation is derived for natural frequency of square latticed composite shells. The first fifth modes are taken to be compared. The analytical and FEM results are shown and compared to each other. Also, as discussed, the squared lattice cylinder shell reaches to their natural frequencies easily than the...

Abstract
The advantages of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), such as high specific strength, resistance against corrosion and formability, have made it a more acceptable alternative to conventional materials regarding repairing and retrofitting of structures. Although investigations in recent years have proved the concern of civil engineers about the environmental effects on the bond between FRP and concrete or masonry (especially moisture and temperature), only few researches have been reported on FRP-wood interfaces. This research investigated the effect of five different environments on the bond at the interface between FRP and wood. A series of pull-out tests were performed on 375 wood specimens...

Abstract
The 7075 aluminium alloy is one of the most important engineering alloys utilised extensively in aircraft and transportation industries due to its high specific strength. In the present research, the flow behaviour of this alloy has been investigated using hot compression test at strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 s-1 and temperatures of 350, 400 and 450°C. The results reveal that dynamic softening occurred in these temperatures and strain rates. The activation energy, strain rate sensitivity and two constitutive equations (hyperbolic sine law and the power law) are derived from the results. It is shown that the hyperbolic sine law has a better agreement with the experimental results
