Theoretical and experimental modal analysis of polymeric hybrid lap joint structure with and without damage Dhananjay Kumar, Naveen Kumar Akkasali, Ankit Gangwar, Pradeep Kumar Mishra, Gaurav Kumar, Mostafizur Rahaman, Subrata Kumar Panda, Jayant Giri, Saurav Mallik Polymer Composites, 2025 This research reported the eigenvalue responses of delaminated hybrid (adhesive and bolted) polymeric joint components using a simulation model via ABAQUS. First, a simulation model is developed into by combining two different eight‐noded elements for the glass‐fiber‐reinforced polymeric adherents (quadrilateral in‐plane general‐purpose continuum shell element, SC8R) and the adhesives (linear brick) for the discretization of the component. The necessary end boundary conditions are now adopted to compute the desired eigenvalues using Lanchzo's solution steps. Further, the model validity, including the element‐sensitive analysis, is performed by computing a few examples. In this regard, the responses are initially compared with numerical results available in the published domain and further verified with in‐house experimentation (intact and damaged). The frequency response of the developed model deviates from the published data by a maximum of 15%. Similarly, the numerical frequency response deviates from the experimental findings, ranging from a minimum of 1.13% to a maximum of 18.5%. Based on the model's accuracy and consistency, the simulation model of the hybrid polymeric joint structure is extended further to evaluate the influences of geometrical parameters and delamination. Finally, a set of recommendations is illustrated from the numerical experimentation of the intact/damaged hybrid lap joint structure. The fiber layup orientation, boundary condition, and aspect ratio significantly impact the natural frequency response of adhesively bonded joints.Highlights The hybrid joint modal responses are investigated numerically, including delamination. Two types of joints (adhesive and anchored with bolt) are utilized for the component fabrication. The simulated frequency values are verified with in‐house experimentation. The effect of delamination on hybrid joint frequency is computed via numerical experimentation.
Effect of Build Orientation and Infill Density on Mechanical Properties of FDM Build ABS Parts Kumar Aviseck Jati, Pradeep Kumar Mishra Fused Deposition Modeling Technology Applications and Developments, 2025 Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a technique for building three-dimensional specimens by depositing fused layers of material as per the predefined cross-sectional geometry from a computer-aided design (CAD) model. The various process parameters used have a big effect on the quality of the parts produced by FDM. The present study examines how build orientation and infill density affect the mechanical characteristics of FDM-printed parts, such as tensile strength and compressive strength of the parts. The orientation of the parts during part fabrication in FDM is crucial because it affects the part’s strength, including its tensile and compressive strengths. According to American Society for Testing and Materials standards, specimens are prepared for tensile and compression tests. It is found that the specimen’s build orientation has a greater effect on strength. The D638 standard allows a variety of shapes during tensile testing. Compression testing is carried out according to the D695 standard, which permits steady compression testing. From the tensile test result, it is found that the ultimate tensile strength reduces as the build orientation increases from 00 to 300. In both high infill density and low infill density, it reaches its maximum at 00 orientations and minimum at 300 orientations, respectively. The compressive test results show that the final compressive strength decreases as part orientation increases from 00 to 300. It has a maximum orientation of 00 and a minimum orientation of 300, respectively. In both cases of high infill and low infill density, it was found that the tensile strength and compressive strength are maximum when the build orientation is toward the axial direction and minimum when the construct orientation is toward the transverse direction. Higher tensile strength and compressive strength are achieved with high infill density.
Minimization of delamination effect on laminated composite plates using functional materials (piezoelectric and magnetostrictive) Pradeep Kumar Mishra, Subhransu K. Panda, S. N. Pati, Erukala Kalyan Kumar, Subrata Kumar Panda Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2024 AbstractIn this paper, minimization of delamination effect on laminated composite plates using smart (piezoelectric and magnetostrictive) materials has been investigated. The static and dynamic responses of the smart composite plates with/without delamination have been obtained using the finite element method. The validation and comparison studies of the laminated composite plate have also been performed to show the level of accuracy of the presently adopted model by solving a few examples related to static and frequency cases. For control and minimization of delamination effect, smart materials have been introduced at the various layers of the laminated panel. Further, the influence of delamination size, location, orientation scheme, aspect ratio, modular ratio and different boundary conditions on the dynamic response of the smart delaminated composite plate has been analyzed. Finally, optimization study has been carried out to find the optimal value of these parameters by minimizing the difference between the frequency responses. Here, two optimization algorithms TLBO and PSO have been considered to carry out the optimization study and results obtained from both techniques are validated and compared.Keywords: Aspect ratiodelaminationmagnetostrictive materialmodular ratioorientation schemepiezoelectric materialpSOtLBO Data availability statementThe results are derived step-wise and interconnected and no separate data or results are adopted to complete this article.

The effect of delamination in free vibration responses of adhesively bonded spar wingskin joints P. K. Mishra, A. K. Pradhan, M. K. Pandit, S. K. Panda Mechanics Based Design of Structures and Machines, 2023 In this article, the effects of damage (delamination) on the structural vibration characteristics of spar wingskin joints (SWJs) made with curved laminated composites are investigated. Three dimensional finite element analysis is employed to evaluate the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the joint structure considered. Virtual elements are implemented in the delamination region to prevent inter element penetration. The effectiveness of the finite element analysis technique used is validated with available results. Additionally, the effects of various parameters such as delamination size, curvature effect (shallowness angle), laminate stacking sequence, overlap length, and material anisotropy (modular ratio) on the free vibration responses of the curved SWJ are analyzed in details. The present delamination modeling and simulated results could serve as guidelines in designing curved laminated composite joint structures with/without delaminations.
