Computational Homogenization for Inverse Design of Surface-based Inflatables

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Francis Julian Panetta, Uday Kusupati, Seiichi Eduardo Suzuki Erazo, Yingying Ren

Surface-based inflatables are composed of two thin layers of nearly inextensible sheet material joined together along carefully selected fusing curves. During inflation, pressure forces separate the two sheets to maximize the enclosed volume. The fusing c ...

An interlocking approach for the rebar-to-concrete contact in bond

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Max Tirassa

The bond response of deformed bars in structural concrete is a phenomenon governed, to a large extent, by the rib-to-concrete contact and interaction, with contact forces depending on both material properties and the kinematics between the contact surfaces ...

Nondestructive characterization of laser powder bed fusion parts with neutron Bragg edge imaging

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Markus Strobl, Nikola Kalentics

Laser powder bed fusion is an efficient technique for additive manufacturing of metallic materials. The quality of the material produced depends on the optimization of a large range of build parameters and the complex thermo-mechanical build process is pro ...

Radius-dependent homogeneous strain in uncoalesced GaN nanowires

Pierre Michel Corfdir

We investigate the strain state of ensembles of thin and nearly coalescence-free self-assembled GaN nanowires prepared by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Ti/Al2O3 (0001) substrates. The shifts of Bragg peaks in high-resolution X-ray diffraction p ...

Prediction of autogenous shrinkage of cement pastes as poro-visco-elastic deformation

Karen Scrivener, Zhangli Hu, Pietro Lura

Precise and robust predictions of autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete are essential to limit self-induced stresses and cracking in modern concrete structures. This paper presents predictions of autogenous shrinkage for three cement pastes of ...

Numerical evaluation of test setups for determining the shear strength of masonry

Katrin Beyer, Nicolas Richart, Shenghan Zhang

The bond shear strength between masonry units and mortar is the weakest link in a masonry wall. Different material tests have been developed in order to characterize this bond behaviour. The objective of this study is to evaluate three common test setups t ...

Two-dimensional analytical stress distribution model for unbalanced FRP composite single-lap joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Zhengwen Jiang

A two-dimensional analytical stress distribution model taking into account the effects of large deformation, bending-tension coupling and interfacial compliance on the quasi-static behavior of unbalanced FRP composite single-lap joints (SLJs) under tension ...

Hydromechanical Aspects of CO2 Breakthrough into Clay-rich Caprock

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano, Roman Makhnenko, Danila Mylnikov

Caprock formations are intended to prevent upwards carbon dioxide (CO2) migration to the surface during CO2 geological storage. Caprock interaction with CO2, as well as its potential consequences, requires to be predicted, and thus, need to be studied expe ...
