Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently being selected for the design of lightweight and efficient structural members in a wide number of engineering applications. Sandwich panels with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face she ...
This study presents a general approach to the topology design of tensegrities with rigid bodies. To the best of the authors' knowledge, all existing topology design methods of tensegrities focus on tensegrities that only consist of members carrying axial f ...
In this paper, we present a new flexure-based load cell with adjustable stiffness designed for force sensors with extended force range and respective measuring resolution. This novel monolithic mechanism consists of a T-shaped flexure pivot combined with a ...
In the fields of microgripping and microassembly, the self-alignment motion of a solid micro-object linked by a liquid meniscus to a substrate or a tool is an inexpensive way to overcome the current limitations of the assembly processes at microscale by ge ...
Recent advances in timber construction have led to the realization of complex timber plate structures assembled with wood-wood connections. Although advanced numerical modelling tools have been developed to perform their structural analysis, limited experi ...
Understanding the mechanical behavior of soft materials is of great importance for many applica-tions, especially for bioengineering and clinical applications. Hertzian theory is frequently used to characterize the mechanical properties of such materials. ...
This article presents a study on the creep properties of limestone calcined clay cement. A series of paste samples using limestone and calcined clays as replacement materials were tested under basic compressive creep. The ternary mixes showed a lower creep ...
This thesis examines the out-of-plane stability bracing of deep wide flange steel columns in moment resisting frames (MRFs) under cyclic loading. This is performed through a detailed continuum finite element analysis including a validation process and a pa ...
Geometrically complex timber plate structures using wood-wood connections are increasingly designed thanks to digital fabrication. Whereas their fabrication has been automated using computer-aided design programming, research focused on the development of ...
An accurate solution of the wave equation at a fluid-solid interface requires a correct implementation of the boundary condition. Boundary conditions at acousto-elastic interface require continuity of the normal component of particle velocity and traction, ...
