Today, it is widely accepted that fatigue is one of the most common failure mechanisms in structural components, and pure static failure is rarely observed. Engineering structures are subjected to complex mechanical fatigue loading histories, which cause d ...
For new fast-neutron sodium-cooled Generation IV nuclear reactors, the candidate cladding materials for the very strong burn-up are ferritic and martensitic oxide dispersion strengthened grades. Classically, the cladding tube is cold formed by a sequence o ...
The stress and strain relationship in the gauge region of six cruciform geometries is studied: the ISO standard geometry with slits in arms, two geometries with thinned gauge areas, two geometries with thinned gauge areas and slits in arms, and one modifie ...
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have recently been put under the spotlight for their specific strength, the highest among structural metals. Although the mechanical behaviour of Mg alloys at quasi-static strain rates has been extensively modelled in the recent years ...
The demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased structural use of glass in buildings and constructions. Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, ...
Boom Clay is extensively studied as a potential candidate to host underground nuclear waste disposal in Belgium. To guarantee the safety of such a disposal, the mechanical behaviour of the clay during gallery excavation must be properly predicted. In that ...
Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...
This work compares the time dependence of isothermal shape recovery in thermoset and thermoplastic shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) with comparable glass transition temperatures. In each case, tensile tests have been used to quantify the influence of var ...
A waterborne latex-based technique has been used to prepare acrylic films with laponite contents up to about 25 vol%. The laponite was attached to the surfaces of the latex particles, giving a cellular arrangement of laponite-rich regions at high laponite ...
This paper investigates the influence of thermal lag on the glass transition temperature of polymers measured under different heating rates during dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The E-modulus-temperature curves of a two-component epoxy adhesive and a p ...
