Influence of model uncertainty and long term deformations in action effects calculation in reinforced concrete structures
Most codes of practice adopt a semi probabilistic design approach for the dimensioning and assessment of structures. Accordingly, structural safety is ensured by performing limit state verifications using design values determined with adequately calibrated ...
EPFL2024Short-term behavior of glass fiber-polymer composite bending-active elastica beam under service load application
Thomas Keller, Landolf-Giosef-Anastasios Rhode-Barbarigos, Tara Habibi
Bending-active elastica beam is a structural configuration that is based on the elastic deformation of an initially straight beam. This deformation occurs when horizontal displacements are applied to a sliding support, causing the beam to bend into an arch ...
2024Computational Homogenization for Inverse Design of Surface-based Inflatables
Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Francis Julian Panetta, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Yingying Ren
Surface-based inflatables are composed of two thin layers of nearly inextensible sheet material joined together along carefully selected fusing curves. During inflation, pressure forces separate the two sheets to maximize the enclosed volume. The fusing c ...
2024Solute-strengthening in metal alloys with short-range order
Recent surging interest in strengthening of High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) with possible chemical ordering motivates the development of new theory. Here, an existing theory for random alloys that accounts for solute-dislocation and solute–solute interactions i ...
2024Influence of fiber orientation on the tensile behavior of UHPFRC and reinforced UHPFRC under static and fatigue loadings
Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite (UHPFRC) is a modern class of cementitious building materials. Because of its superior mechanical properties and durability, it is increasingly used globally to rehabilitate, strengthen and mod ...
EPFL2024Modeling friction and wear using an adaptive discrete-continuum coupling
Manon Eugénie Voisin--Leprince
When two objects slide against each other, wear and friction occur at their interface. The accumulation of wear forms what is commonly referred to as a ``third-body''. Understanding third-body evolution has significant applications in industry, where contr ...

Zenodo2024Experimental and ab initio derivation of interface stress in nanomultilayered coatings: Application to immiscible Cu/W system with variable in-plane stress
Pandula Manura Liyanage, Claudia Cancellieri, Giacomo Lorenzin
Interface stress is a fundamental descriptor for interphase boundaries and is defined in strict relation to the interface energy. In nanomultilayers with their intrinsically high interface density, the functional properties are dictated by the interface st ...
Elsevier2024Local relaxation of residual stress in high-strength steel welded joints treated by HFMI
Alain Nussbaumer, Yuki Ono, Heikki Tapani Remes
This research studies the influence of high-peak loads on local relaxation of residual stress and fatigue damage in highstrength steel welded joints treated by high-frequency mechanical impact (HFMI) treatment. The joint behavior is simulated with elastic– ...
2024Insights from an extensive triaxial testing campaign on a shale for comparative site characterization of a deep geological repository
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci
Several boreholes were drilled for site comparison of a deep geological repository (DGR) in Northern Switzerland. The main target of the exploration program was the >100m thick Opalinus Clay, the designated host rock encountered at approximately 450 to 100 ...
