Steel tubular truss are lightweight, aesthetical and used in many different applications. These structures are sensitive to fatigue and specific verification methods have been developed for them, in particular by CIDECT [2001]. Due to assembly and welding, ...
The aim of the present thesis is to model numerically the dynamic failure behavior of concrete at the mesoscale. Concrete is the world's most widely used construction material and the structures made of it are subjected to dynamic loads during their long s ...
Nickel-based superalloys are frequently used under operating conditions that lead to the formation of an oxide layer. In this study, the mechanical properties of such a submicron oxide scale formed on a nickel-based superalloy were evaluated. The Poisson’s ...
During casting, thermally induced deformations give birth to ingot distortions and residual stresses. For some high strength alloys, ingot cracking can happen during casting per se or during cooling down. Ingot distortions such as rolling face pull-in, but ...
Fiber reinforced composites can develop large scale bridging upon mode I fracture. This toughening mechanism depends on the constituents and the geometry of the specimen, and is especially important in unidirectional laminates when fracture is parallel to ...
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms behind dynamic fragmentation. This phenomenon occurs in a material when a blast or impact loading nucleates multiple cracks, whose propagation and coalescence break the specimen into fragments. Althou ...
As-cast stresses in the foot of the ingot corresponding to the transient start-up phase of the direct chill casting have been determined in aluminum alloy AA7050 rectangular ingots. This high strength alloy is usually cast with a wiper that is placed below ...
Out of plane instability of reinforced concrete walls is a failure mechanism observed rather recently following the earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011). Global out of plane instability is a phenomenon that may occur in thin walls, subjected ...
Stress relief treatment before machining and sawing aluminium direct chill cast products is required to avoid uncontrolled distortion, crack formation and significant safety concerns due to the presence of thermally induced residual stresses created during ...
The punching resistance of actual reinforced concrete flat slabs is potentially influenced by the compressive membrane action, which may significantly increase their resistance compared to isolated laboratory specimens. However, design codes have been deve ...
