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

描述：该项目提供了博士之间的合作。 J.N.弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的雷迪 大学（VPI）和印度研究所的两名科学家 科学（I.I.Sc.）在班加罗尔，A. V. Krishna Murty博士， 维杰·库马尔 这些科学家将继续理论， 复合材料层合板性能的分析研究 在压缩载荷下。 具体而言，他们正在寻求 开发分析工具来描述分层过程 在这样的面板中。 此外，这些研究将有助于 确定这些板的剩余强度。 合作 工作将受益于实验工作正在独立完成 印度队在I.I.S. 范围：该项目提供支持，以扩大合作 目前正在进行的研究由同一科学家根据 一个早期的NSF资助 这项工作已经提供了更好的 问题的理解，并导致了几个联合 出版物。 该项目非常符合 美国--印度合作科学计划。

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.
