Temperature Effects on Failure of Rotating Beam of Hybrid Composite

Fiber-reinforced polymer materials are widely used in the design and manufacture of rotating structures like robot arms, wind turbine blades and helicopter blades. This is due to their high specific strength and stiffness, lightweight and ease to manufacture the complex parts of structures such as airfoils. In the present study, thermal effects on the failure of a rotating hybrid beam are studied. The beam is modeled as a composite laminate with...
