As a result, the need to develop three-dimensional formulations which allow a change in the stress, strain and displacement distributions across the radial component arises. Basic formulations on three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity were made either stressor displacement-based by Lekhnitskii or Stroh on plates. Lekhnitskii also was the first to expand these analytical formulations to tubes under various loading conditions. This paper presents a review of the stress and strain analysis of tube models using three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity. The focus lies on layered structures, like fiber-reinforced plastics, under various bending loads, although the basic formulations and models regarding axisymmetric loads are briefly discussed. One section is also dedicated to the determination of an equivalent bending stiffness of tubes.}, language = {en} } @article{PongratzTixWolfrumetal., author = {Pongratz, Christian and Tix, Janek and Wolfrum, Johannes and Gerke, Steffen and Ehrlich, Ingo and Br{\"u}nig, Michael}, title = {Test Setup for Investigating the Impact Behavior of Biaxially Prestressed Composite Laminates}, series = {Experimental Techniques}, journal = {Experimental Techniques}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, issn = {0732-8818}, doi = {10.1007/s40799-024-00701-4}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:898-opus4-70355}, pages = {14 S.}, abstract = {Instrumented impact testing and compression-after-impact testing are important to adequately qualify material behavior and safely design composite structures. However, the stresses to which fiber-reinforced plastic components are typically subjected in practice are not considered in the impact test methods recommended in guidelines or standards. In this paper, a test setup for investigating the impact behavior of composite specimens under plane uniaxial and biaxial preloading is presented. For this purpose, a special test setup consisting of a biaxial testing machine and a specially designed drop-weight tower was developed. The design decisions were derived from existing guidelines and standards with the aim of inducing barely visible impact damage in laminated carbon fiber-reinforced plastic specimens. Several measurement systems have been integrated into the setup to allow comprehensive observation of the impact event and specimen behavior. A feasibility test was performed with biaxially prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced plastic specimens in comparison with unstressed reference tests. The compressive-tensile prestressing resulted in lower maximum contact forces, higher maximum deflections, higher residual deflections and a different damage pattern, which was investigated by light microscopic analysis. Finally, the functionality of the experimental setup is discussed, and the results seem to indicate that the test setup and parameters were properly chosen to investigate the effect of prestresses on the impacts behavior of composite structures, in particular for barely visible subsequent damages.}, subject = {Faserverbundwerkstoff}, language = {en} } @article{PutzerEhrlichRasmussenetal., author = {Putzer, Michael and Ehrlich, Ingo and Rasmussen, John and Gebbeken, Norbert and Dendorfer, Sebastian}, title = {Sensitivity of lumbar spine loading to anatomical parameters}, series = {Journal of Biomechanics}, volume = {49}, journal = {Journal of Biomechanics}, number = {6}, publisher = {Elsevier Science}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiomech.2015.11.003}, pages = {953 -- 958}, abstract = {Musculoskeletal simulations of lumbar spine loading rely on a geometrical representation of the anatomy.

A modification of models to each subject is complex and the effects on lumbar loading are difficult to assess. The objective of this thesis is to create a validated musculoskeletal model of the human body, which facilitates a subject-specific modification of the geometry of the lumbar spine. Furthermore, important parameters are identified in sensitivity studies and a case study regarding multifidus muscle atrophy after a disc herniation is conducted. Therefore, a generic model is heavily modified and a semi-automatic process is implemented. This procedure remodels the geometry of the lumbar spine to a subject-specific one on basis of segmented medical images. The resulting five models are validated with regard to the lumbar loading at the L4/L5 level. The influence of lumbar ligament stiffness is determined by changing the stiffness values of all lumbar ligaments in eleven steps during a flexion motion. Sensitivities of lumbar loading to an altered geometry of the lumbar spine are identified by varying ten lumbar parameters in simulations with each model in four postures. The case study includes an analysis of the loading of the multifidus muscle and of the lumbar discs throughout various stages of disc herniation. This time each model performs four motions with two different motion rhythms. The results indicate that lumbar motion and loading is dependent on lumbar ligament stiffness. Furthermore, subject-specific modelling of the lumbar spine should include at least the vertebral height, disc height and lumbar lordosis. The results of the case study suggest that an overloading of the multifidus muscle could follow disc herniation. Additionally, a subsequent atrophy of the muscles could expose adjacent levels to an increased loading, but these findings are highly dependent on the individual.}, subject = {Lendenwirbels{\"a}ule}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchmidJungbauerRomanoetal., author = {Schmid, Vinzent and Jungbauer, Bastian and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {The influence of different types of fabrics on the fibre volume content and porosity in basalt fibre reinforced plastics}, series = {2nd Applied Research Conference 2012 - ARC 25./26.

The mechanical behavior of these structures is typically different from those of flat laminated structures due to an alternating lay-up sequence, winding tension and manufacturing induced imperfections. However, design and analysis issues require the same engineering data as used for laminated structures in general. It has therefore become necessary to establish an accompanying quality assurance procedure following the production process to identify the material properties of the manufactured tubes especially for the single layer. Consequently, there are three different approaches of determining the elastic moduli and tensile strengths of a filament wound laminate. Either specimens are resected from a curved tube, from a tube with plane areas or standardized flat specimens are manufactured under deviating production conditions. All approaches entail disadvantages, whether in terms of manufacturing or testing parameters including geometry, lay-up sequence, porosity, fiber tension and load direction. This study presents the discrepancies in the determination of mechanical properties of a filament wound glass-fiber-reinforced polymer tube on curved or cylindrical specimens and flat specimens produced to meet the specifications of international standards. In order to obtain material properties not only in longitudinal but also in transverse direction of the tubes, the so-called split-disk tensile test modeled after ASTM Standard D 2290, is used with tube segments.The procedures of specimen production and preparation are described in detail.
