Residual Strength of Delaminated Composite Panels Under Compressive Loads, Award in Indian Currency

描述：该项目提供了弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学（VPI）的J.N. Reddy博士与班加罗尔印度科学研究所（I.I.Sc）的两位科学家之间的合作。A.V. Krishna Murty和Vijay Kumar。这些科学家将继续对层压复合材料板在压缩载荷下的行为进行理论和分析研究。具体来说，他们正在寻求开发分析工具来描述这种面板的分层过程。此外，这些研究将有助于确定这些板的残余强度。这项合作工作将受益于印度研究小组在I.I.Sc独立完成的实验工作。范围：该项目为目前由同一位科学家在早期NSF资助下进行的合作研究提供支持。这项工作已经使人们对这个问题有了更好的了解，并发表了几份联合出版物。该项目非常符合美印合作科学计划的目标。

Description: This project provides for collaboration between Dr. J.N. Reddy of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI), and two scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (I.I.Sc.) in Bangalore, Drs. A.V. Krishna Murty, and Vijay Kumar. These scientists will continue theoretical, analytical studies on the behavior of laminated composite panels under compressive loads. Specifically, they are seeking to develop analytical tools to describe the process of delamination in such panels. These studies will, furthermore, be useful in determining residual strength of these plates. The collaborative work will benefit from experimental work being done independently by the Indian team at the I.I.Sc. Scope: This project provides support to extend collaborative research currently being carried out by the same scientists under an earlier NSF grant. The work has already provided better understanding of the problem, and resulted in several joint publications. The project fits well with the objectives of the U.S.-India Cooperative Science Program.
