Thermomechanical characterization of a balsa-wood-veneer structural sandwich core material at elevated temperatures

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Chao Wu, Niloufar Vahedi

The tensile, compressive and shear behavior of standardized specimens cut from a veneered balsa wood used as structural sandwich core was investigated at ambient temperatures of up to 250 degrees C. The average moisture content was 9.1%. The specimens' res ...

Pre-buckling and post-buckling failure at web-flange junction of pultruded GFRP beams

Thomas Keller, Yu Bai, Chao Wu

Separation at the web-flange junction is a common failure mode of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced (GFRP) beams subjected to bending. The causes of this separation appear to depend on the presence of lateral supports to prevent lateral buckling. To clarify ...
