0096785 Pidparti描述：该奖项是为了表彰以下人员对一项合作项目的支持：印第安纳大学-印第安纳普渡大学机械工程系Ramana M.Pidparti教授、突尼斯突尼斯国立工程学院土木工程系Hedi Hassis博士和土耳其阿达纳Cukurova大学土木工程系Suleyman Kocak博士。他们计划研究用于基础设施和各种复合材料行业的耐用复合材料系统的建模、分析和设计中的基本问题。他们计划开发分析和计算算法和方法，使用分层微机械方法来开发更耐用的厚复合材料结构的设计指南。在第一阶段，科学家们将为具有翘曲和耦合效应的单层复合材料开发一个分析模型，并将该配方扩展到多层叠层。在此基础上，建立了细观力学有限元模型。这些模型将使用基准问题和现有的实验数据进行集成和系统验证。第二阶段将研究将上述模型以统一的方式集成到分析和设计研究系统中，以进行复杂三维复合材料结构的失效分析。范围：在这个项目中，合作者计划结合他们的专业知识进行一项研究，以改进复合材料结构的建模和分析，并为这些结构建立设计协议。科学家们将在建模、分析公式和计算模拟方面进行合作。该项目有利于来自美国、突尼斯和土耳其的科学家，并有望为美国研究人员和研究生提供与外国科学家合作的机会。该项目符合支持互惠合作项目的INT标准。

0096785Pidaparti Description: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Professor Ramana M. Pidaparti, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, Indiana, Dr. Hedi Hassis, Civil Engineering Department, Ecole Nationale d'Ingenieures de Tunis (ENIT), Tunisia, and Dr. Suleyman Kocak, Civil Engineering Department, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey. They plan to study the fundamental issues in modeling, analysis and design of durable composite systems for use in infrastructure and various composite industries. They plan to develop analytical and computational algorithms and methods using a hierarchical micromechanical approach for developing design guides for more durable thick composite structures. In the first phase the scientists will develop an analytical model for a single ply composite with warping and coupling effects, and extend the formulation to multi-ply laminates. A micromechanical finite element model will be developed based on the analytical formulations. These models will be integrated and systematically validated using benchmark problems and available experimental data. The second phase will investigate the integration of the above models in a unified manner for failure analysis of complex 3D composite structures into an analysis and design research system. Scope: In this project the collaborators plan to combine their expertise in a study to improve the modeling and analysis of composite structures and the establishment of design protocols for these structures. The scientists will collaborate in modeling, analytical formulations and computational simulations. The project is beneficial to the scientists involved from the United States, Tunisia and Turkey, and is expected to give US researchers and graduate students opportunities to work with scientists from foreign countries. The project meets INT criteria for support of cooperative projects that are mutually beneficial.
