The finite element method is demonstrated as an analytical method for micromechanics of natural composites. This study illustrates the use of the finite element method to investigate stiffness, transverse modulus, stress concentration, delamination and crack propagation of a single-ply natural composite from constituent properties.
The dual objective of developing the present ballistic model is to predict an accurate force-time history in a monolithic thick plate due to penetration by a projectile, and to analytically describe the physical phenomena that occur during a penetration experiment in conjunction with measuring the physical parameters. The analytical model developed considers the evaluation, and prediction of the...
