Role of Minimum Adhesive Wear Particle Size in Third-Body Layer Properties

Jean-François Molinari, Son-Jonathan Pham-Ba

We employ a novel discrete element method (DEM) force formulation to simulate adhesive wear and assess the effects of material and loading parameters on the properties of the third-body layer (TBL) formed during sliding motion. The study emphasizes the rol ...

Thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of basalt-phenolic FRP rebars under high temperature

Thomas Keller, Hongwei Zhu, Ting Li, Jiahui Shen

An experimental investigation was conducted on the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of phenolic-basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (P-BFRP) rebars subjected to high temperature. As a comparison, vinylBFRP (V-BFRP) and epoxy-BFRP (E-BFRP) rebars ...

Kinematic and mechanical response of dry woven fabrics in through-thickness compression: Virtual fiber modeling with mesh overlay technique and experimental validation

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Lode Geeraard Daelemans

The through-thickness compressive behavior of fabric reinforcements is crucial in liquid composite molding manufacturing processes. Predictive simulations of the compressive response are thus necessary to enable a virtual processing workflow. These are com ...

Experimental investigation of mesoscale variability of clear spruce mechanical properties in the radial direction

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Alireza Farajzadeh Moshtaghin, Steffen Franke

The aim of this work is the investigation of mesoscale/local variability in mechanical properties of clear timber in the radial direction. Clear Norway spruce wood, Picea abies, was used for cutting specimens of different lengths with a small cross-section ...

The ratio of shear to elastic modulus of in-plane loaded masonry

Katrin Beyer, Bastian Valentin Wilding, Michele Godio

When designing unreinforced masonry buildings, the wall stiffness and, consequently, the masonry elastic and shear modulus E and G are essential parameters. Current codes provide empirical estimates of the masonry elastic modulus and a ratio between the sh ...

Mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of dense and porous Zn produced by laser powder bed fusion for biodegradable implant applications

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Karel Lietaert

In this work, the macrotexture of dense Zn produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was studied and the mechanical properties for different tensile bar orientations were measured. The compressive strength of LPBF Zn scaffolds with five different unit cel ...

Tensile response of UHPFRC under very low strain rates and low temperatures

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

This paper addresses the uniaxial tensile response of Strain Hardening Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) subjected to very low strain rates and low temperatures. The influence of four different strain rates; 1 × 10−5, 1 × 10−7, ...

Influence of low curing temperatures on the tensile response of low clinker Strain Hardening UHPFRC under full restraint

Emmanuel Denarié, Mohamed Abdul Hafiz

The tensile response of strain hardening UHPFRC under full restraint, subjected to curing temperatures of 20 °C, 10 °C, 5 °C, was investigated for two types of mixes with silica fume; Mix I with pure type I cement and Mix II with 50% replacement of cement ...
