Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dissertations
Composites are heterogeneous in nature and a fundamental understanding of the material response to applied mechanical, thermal, electrical and other multi-physical fields is required to efficiently design and synthesize the material system and demands attention to long-term behavior in particular. Unlike metals, composites are designed to develop distributed damage and initiation of a single microscopic crack does not individually affect the strength/life of these materials. Therefore, the primary interest is not in single local events but in the process of interaction of multiple events that have a collective global effect on the material behavior. The interaction of these local events …

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Theses
Composite materials have found their applications in a wide range of industries particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. This is because they are comparatively light-weight and provide a much better corrosion and wear resistance as compared to other ceramics and metals. Adhesive bonding can be used to improve the stress distribution between these composite materials. Moreover, adhesive bond decreases the weight and concentration of stresses in the structure. Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy, BbDS is a robust tool used for analyzing the dielectric properties of a polymer composite. This method can be used to monitor the curing process of the specimen. …
