...-dimensional-printed composites, and particularly by those obtained through FFF (fused filament fabrication), beyond their most extended use as prototyping materials. The resulting structural components may contain notch-type defects (e.g., grooves, corners, holes) that determine their corresponding structural...

... and repair of components using composite patches can be used for piping to reduce the stress intensity factors at the crack-front of a corrosion fatigue crack. In this paper 3D finite element analyses in general mixed-mode fracture condition are performed to study the crack growth behavior of repaired pipes...

...Matthew J. Vick; Kurt Gramoll In this research, an analysis technique is developed to model orthotropic composite toroids and optimize the fiber layup, accounting for the natural variation in thickness due to fiber stacking. The behavior of toroids is difficult to model using membrane shell...
