This paper presents a plastic hinge modelling approach for wall-type bridge piers with detailing deficiencies such as low transverse reinforcement ratios and lap splices in potential plastic hinge regions. Currently available plastic hinge length estimates ...
Effects of non-uniform strains on tensile fracture of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites have not been satisfactorily explained by existing mechanics-based models. In this paper, we use an exact model of fiber fragmentation under global load sharin ...
Circumferentially notched cylindrical bars of high volume fraction Al2O3 particle reinforced aluminium are tested in tension to probe the role of tensile stress triaxiality on damage and failure of such materials. The transverse strain is monitored with a ...
A waterborne latex-based technique, in which functionalized laponite is attached to PS and acrylic latex particles, is used to prepare films containing up to 50 wt% laponite. At high laponite contents this leads to a cellular arrangement of the laponite-ri ...
The behaviour of brittle matrix fibre reinforced-composites is dependent of the properties of its constituents (fibre, matrix and fibre-matrix interface) and is affected by the mechanical and environmental loads. The fracture of a unidirectional composite ...
Homogeneous plane strain compression tests were performed on standard industrial GMT composites using a channel mould at 200oC. A charring and weighting technique was used to determine the fibre concentration after the compression experiments. Experimental ...
A partially embedded long fibre-Bragg grating (FBG) into an epoxy cylindrical specimen is used to monitor the strain distribution evolution along its axis when subjected to subsequent cycles of thermal ageing at 70 and 110 degrees C. Assuming a total volum ...
Quasi-static axial tension experiments were performed in a laboratory environment on adhesively-bonded double-lap joints from pultruded GFRP laminates. Full-scale specimens were investigated to prevent size effects. Ductile polyurethane and acrylic as well ...
In this paper, a combined experimental-numerical based work was undertaken to investigate the Bragg wavelength shift response of an embedded FBG sensor when subjected to different conditions of multi-axial loading (deformation). The following cases are exa ...
In many applications elastoplastic composites are used in limited amounts, therefore it is important to have estimates of the size of their representative volume element both for modeling and experimental purposes. In this work the tensile response of part ...
