| Summary: | behavior of a composite tube subjected to dynamic loads and but also on constituent properties and the location and Composites offer dramatically high stiffness to weight and composites, these scaling laws depend not just on geometry, designer to add selectively stiffer, more costly fibers where easily can be verified using tubes which are easier to test forces induced by wave and current interaction. A closed form, shear deformable shell code is developed to capture the high specific strength, composites offer the unique feature increase the functionality of composites by allowing the loads and finite element analysis is used to determine the multiple fiber types exist in a single matrix, further of being tailorable to the design. Hybrid composites, where on the structural behavior of hybrid composite tubes when or have already been tested. orientation of the constituents in the system. Through pressure loads. Scaling methods by means of similitude, the behavior of tubes which cannot be tested strain state of hybrid composite tubes under axisymmetric strength to weight ratios which make them very desirable for structural/material similitude are also studied. For subjected to internal pressure, axial tension, and dynamic the stresses are more critical and add less costly fibers use in offshore structures in deep water. In addition to where the stresses are less critical. This research focuses |
