Design of hybrid bridge girders with adhesively bonded and compositely acting FRP deck

Analytical prediction methods for axial stresses and deflections at the serviceability limit state and for ultimate failure loads are proposed for hybrid bridge girders consisting of FRP bridge decks adhesively bonded to steel girders. The methods allow fo ...

Correlations between adhesion hysteresis and friction at molecular scales

Andrzej Kulik, Gérard Gremaud

Correlations between adhesion hysteresis and local friction are theoretically and experimentally investigated. The model is based on the classical theory of adhesional friction, contact mechanics, capillary hysteresis, and nanoscale roughness. Adhesion hys ...

Aminosilanes and hyperbranched polymers for adhesion tailoring between metallic oxides and polyethylene

Bonding between polyolefins and steel is widely found in applications as diverse as steel wire/cord reinforced polymers, and automotive components where steel and thermoplastics are commonly used. As polyolefins are highly unreactive, because of their low ...

System ductility and redundancy of FRP beam structures with ductile adhesive joints

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest

This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...

Impact of Liquid Configuration and Flow Regimes on Macroscopic Transport Properties in Unsaturated Porous Media: A Lattice Boltzmann Study

Dani Or

The effect of flow regime and fluid morphology (distribution and spatial arrangement) on macroscopic transport properties (effective diffusion coefficient, hydraulic conductivity) was analyzed using a multi-component lattice Boltzmann model. Various flow r ...

Weak force stalls protrusion at the leading edge of the lamellipodium

Jean-Jacques Meister, Sophie Bohnet, Alex Mogilner

Protrusion, the first step of cell migration, is driven by actin polymerization coupled to adhesion at the cell's leading edge. Polymerization and adhesive forces have been estimated, but the net protrusion force has not been measured accurately. We arrest ...

Wetting in infiltration of alumina particle preforms with molten copper

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani

The high-temperature wettability of alumina particulate preforms by copper is investigated by means of infiltration experiments conducted at 1473 K under low oxygen partial pressure. Wetting is quantified in terms of drainage curves, which plot the volume ...

Integration of robust fluidic interconnects using metal to glass anodic bonding

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand

This paper reports on the encapsulation of a piezoresistive silicon/Pyrex liquid flow sensor using metal to glass anodic bonding. The bonding technique allowed integrating robust metallic microfluidic interconnects and eliminating the use of glue and O-rin ...

Composite action and adhesive bond between fiber- reinforced polymer bridge decks and main girders

Thomas Keller, Herbert Gürtler

This paper describes the behavior of hybrid girders consisting of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks adhesively connected to steel main girders. Two large-scale girders were experimentally investigated at the serviceability and ultimate limit stat ...

Quasi-static and fatigue performance of a cellular FRP bridge deck adhesively bonded to steel girders

Thomas Keller, Herbert Gürtler

This paper describes the quasi-static and fatigue performance of hybrid bridge girders composed of cellular FRP bridge decks and steel girders. The FRP bridge deck is connected adhesively to the steel girders and acts as the top chord of the hybrid section ...
