  • Deployment dynamics of ultrathin composite booms with Tape-Spring hinges 
    Mallikarachchi, HMYC; Pellegrino, S
    An experimental and numerical study of the dynamic deployment of stored strain energy deployable booms with tape-spring hinges made of woven carbon fiber composite is presented. The deployment consists of three phases: ...
  • Design of ultrathin composite self-deployable booms 
    Mallikarachchi, HMYC; Pellegrino, S [Article-Abstract]
    Recently developed analysis techniques for thin shells that can be folded elastically and are able to self-deploy are used to develop an iterative design approach for this type of structure. The proposed approach considers ...
  • Failure criterion for two-ply plain-weave CFRP laminates 
    Mallikarachchi, HMYC; Pellegrino, S [Article-Abstract]
    We present an experimentally based failure criterion for symmetric two-ply plain-weave laminates of carbon fiber reinforced plastic. The criterion is formulated in terms of six force and moment stress resultants and consists ...
  • Multi-scale modelling of Thin woven composites 
    Mahendra, WKS; Mallikarachchi, HMYC [Article-Abstract]
    It has been observed that the bending stiffness of thin composites made with two ply plain-weave carbon fibre reinforced plastic are not accurately modelled by classical laminate theory. More accurate predictions can be ...
