  • The transverse compression of PPTA Fibers Part I Single Fiber transverse compression testing
    Journal of Materials Science, 2000
    Co-Authors: J Singletary, Melur K. Ramasubramanian, Warren Knoff, H. Davis, M. Toney
    Abstract:

    We report on the transverse compression testing of fine,highly anisotropic polymer Fibers. Single KEVLAR 29 Fibers were laid on a flat, stiff platen, and compressed by a second, stiff, parallel platen. Test output was a force-deflection curve, from which the effective transverse modulus, apparent strain at yield and the work required to compress the Fibers were determined. The effects of specimen aspect ratio was examined experimentally and by finite element simulation for Loaded Fiber lengths of 1/4 to 7 Fiber diameters, and a method proposed to deduce the plane strain response from short aspect ratio tests.

  • PROBABILISTIC BASED DESIGN OF CONCENTRICALLY Loaded Fiber-REINFORCED POLYMERIC COMPRESSION MEMBERS
    Journal of Structural Engineering-asce, 2004
    Co-Authors: Maha Alqam, Richard M. Bennett, Abdul-hamid Zureick
    Abstract:

    This paper presents an analytical probabilistic based design procedure for concentrically Loaded compression members of Fiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials. Resistance factors for use in a load and resistance factor design format are developed for flexural buckling of doubly symmetric sections, both flexural buckling and flexural-torsional buckling of equal leg angles, and material failure. The developed resistance factors are a function of the coefficient of variation of the appropriate material properties. The proposed resistance factors were determined to provide a reliability index of 3.0 for buckling limit states and a reliability index of 3.5 for the material fracture limit state. A proposed method of developing an allowable stress design code is also given.

  • SHORT-TERM BEHAVIOR AND DESIGN OF Fiber-REINFORCED POLYMERIC SLENDER MEMBERS UNDER AXIAL COMPRESSION
    Journal of Composites for Construction, 1997
    Co-Authors: Abdul-hamid Zureick, David Scott
    Abstract:

    Presented in this paper are results of an experimental investigation pertaining to the short-term behavior of concentrically Loaded Fiber-reinforced polymeric composite slender members. Tested members had box and I-shape cross sections and were pultruded using a vinylester matrix containing flame retardant additives reinforced with E-glass roving and nonwoven mats. Material properties for each tested member are used in a limit state predictor equation to correlate the experimental and the predicted results. Design guidelines and a step-by-step example are also presented.
