For instance, aircraft components such as wingspar, fuselage and ribs are provided with cutouts for access, inspection, fuel lines and electric lines or to reduce the overall weight. This paper addresses the effect of boundary condition on buckling and postbuckling responses, failure loads, and failure characteristics of composite laminate with various shaped cutouts (i.e., circular, square, diamond, elliptical-vertical and elliptical-horizontal) and having different lay-ups under in-plane shear (positive and negative) load, using finite-element method. The FEM formulation is based on the first order shear deformation theory in conjunction with geometric nonlinearity using von Karman’s assumptions. The 3-D Tsai-Hill criterion is used to predict the failure of a lamina while the onset of delamination is predicted by the interlaminar failure criterion. It is observed that the effect of boundary condition on buckling, first-ply failure and ultimate failure loads of a quasi-isotropic laminate with cutout is more for positive shear load than that for the negative shear load for almost all cutout shapes. It is also noted that under in-plane shear loads postbuckling stiffness of (0/90)4s laminate with circular cutout is maximum, while it is minimum for (45/—45)4s laminate with circular cutout, irrespective of boundary conditions.展开更多

Comparing these results with numerical results reveals the accuracy of the method and even more, allows us to validate the nu- merical analysis. Therefore, two important results are obtained： a simplified analytical solution for the buckling problem and validation of the numerical results. Another important and novel finding is related to the influence of the angle ply orientation and of the cutouts, on the buckling load. Under symmetrical boundary conditions and loading case, rectangular panels with elliptical cutouts, give better results for 90~ oriented plies than for 0 oriented ones. With a compression load applied in the X direction, and with material properties 10 times better in X direction than in Y direction, the best results are obtained when the load is aligned with the Y direction associated to the ma- terial reference frame. Moreover, panels with cutouts seem to behave better than panels without cutouts under cer- tainply orientation angles.展开更多

New expressions of sixstress components are developed by using three stress-functions in cylindrical co-ordinates, so that thehomogeneous equilibrium equations, the interlayer surface transverse-stresses and the traction-freeboundary condition on the cylindrical surface are satisfied exactly, while the interelement traction conti-nuity has been relaxed via the Lagrange multiplier method. Transverse-shear deformation effects areincorporated in each layer with displacement continuity enforced along interlayer surface. Selected ex-amples are used to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the present special element.展开更多

Recent Mgorithms have limitations in terms of efficiency interaction style and robustness. This paper presents a novel method for progressive video cutout with less user interaction and fast feedback. By exploring local and compact features, an optimization is constructed based on a graph model which establishes spatial and temporal relationship of neighboring patches in video frames. This optimization enables an efficient solution for progressive video cutout using graph cuts. Furthermore, a sampling-based method for temporally coherent matting is proposed to further refine video cutout results. Experiments demonstrate that our video cutout by paint selection is more intuitive and efficient for users than previous stroke-based methods, and thus could be put into practical use.展开更多

In many instances, these plates are subjected to axial compression loads that predispose the sheets to instability and buckling. In this study, we investigate the buckling and post-buckling behaviors of steel plates having groove-shaped cutouts of various dimensions and angles using finite element method (FEM) (by ABAQUS software) and experimental tests (by an Instron servohydraulic machine). Boundary conditions were clamped by supports at upper and lower ends and free supports at the other edges. The results of both numerical and experimental analyses are compared, which show a very good agreement between them. Finally, based on the experimental findings, formulas are presented for the determination of the buckling load of such plates.展开更多
