The influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) on the structure and mechanical properties of polyamide 12 (PA12) fibers was investigated. As seen from wide-angle X-ray diffraction analysis the crystallinity index increases with ...
This paper discusses two projects on post-tensioned glass beams, performed at EPFL and DTU, respectively. In these projects small scale glass beams (length of 1.5m and 1m) are post-tensioned by means of steel threaded rods tensioned at the beam ends. The p ...
The susceptibility of single-crystal silicon and SU-8 resonators to proton-radiation induced degradation was investigated. Both materials are in widespread use for microsystems structures, thus the stability of the mechanical properties must be ensured ove ...

Using a simple beam element, this study estimates the elastic stiffness of two isotropic open-cell foam architectures that approximate, respectively, the space between tightly packed fluid bubbles and that defined between densified solid particles, and fin ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing
structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links
in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...
The recent demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased the use of glass material also for structural purpose. However, connections between structural glass members represent one of the most critical aspects of glass engineering, due to ...
Materials with controllable stiffness are of great interest to many fields, including medicine and robotics. In this paper we develop a new type of variable stiffness material based on the combination of a rigid low-melting-point-alloy (LMPA) microstructur ...
During their lifetime, glass panels are repetitively exposed to thermal stresses. These thermal stresses result from temperature differences within the panel, which most notably cause the edges of the panels to be stressed in tension. When these thermal st ...
An original concept is presented for the durable rehabilitation of concrete bridge deck slabs. The main idea is to add a layer of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with steel reinforcing bars over the concrete slab to create a compo ...
This paper investigates the structural performance of reinforced and post-tensioned glass beams. This is done through bending tests on 1.5 m reinforced, post-tensioned and reference glass beam specimens. From the results it is observed that both reinforcin ...
