The effects of neutron irradiation on austenitic stainless steels, usually used for the manufacturing of internal elements of nuclear reactors (e.g. the core shrouds), are the alteration of the microchemistry and the microstructure, and, as a consequence, ...
Modeling of the constitutive behavior was undertaken for Fe- Cr-C tempered martensitic alloys. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature and constant nominal strain rate. In order to obtain a fully martensitic structure with different prior austen ...
One of the key problems in dental biomechanics is the prediction of tooth mobility under functional loads. Understanding tooth displacement due to load is becoming more important as new solutions in dental restorations, prosthodontics and orthodontic treat ...
Ultra-High Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) have high mechanical strengths (fU,c > 150 MPa, fU,t > 6 MPa) and exhibit quasi-strain hardening in tension. Their very low permeability prevents the ingress of detrimental substances. In composite ...
It has been known for more than 150 years that action effects in bridges due to traffic action are higher than it has to be expected for purely static loads. In the design of road bridges, this difference is considered by multiplying static traffic loads w ...
A set of constitutive equations describing the plasticity of semiconductors is compared with the results of mechanical tests. Constant strain-rate compression tests are interrupted before the peak of the initial multiplication yield point, i.e. at the mome ...
The soft tissue, called periodontal ligament (PDL), that connects the alveolar bone and the tooth root accounts to a large extent for the mobility, stress-distribution and, due to its viscoelastic properties, damping of the bone-tooth complex. The accurate ...
We have examined the micromechanical behavior of in situ formed metallic glass composites by performing in situ high-energy synchrotron X-ray scattering during uniaxial compression. The load partitioning between the amorphous matrix and the reinforcing par ...
An assessment of the true stress-true strain relationship has been done by means of tensile and small ball punch tests on austenitic and tempered martensitic steel at room temperature. A finite element model was developed and validated to calculate the for ...
Existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, many of which have historical and cultural importance, constitute a significant portion of existing buildings around the world. Recent earthquakes have shown the vulnerability of such URM buildings. This thesi ...
