Wood-to-wood bonds obtained by means of friction welding are a relatively new type of connections holding high potential to compete with existing structural adhesives, since a load bearing bond is formed almost instantaneously. This paper addresses the que ...
Continuous-fiber ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are of interest as hot-section components in gas turbine engines due to their refractoriness and low density relative to metallic alloys. In service, CMCs will be subjected to spatially inhomogeneous temper ...
A model for predicting composite material strength degradation under elevated and high temperatures is proposed. This model is based on the morphology of the mixture of materials in different states. The degradation of resin-dominated shear strength can be ...
FRP bridge decks offer several advantages compared with conventional concrete bridge decks, particularly their much lower weight, but also their resistance against corrosion as well as easier installation and maintenance. The poorly conceived methods avail ...
What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simpl ...
This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...
Rocks in underground projects at great depth, which are under high static stresses, may be subjected to dynamic disturbance at the same time. In our previous work (Li et al. Int J Rock Mech Min Sci 45(5):739–748, 2008), the dynamic compressive behaviour of ...
A new martensitic ODS alloy (nominal composition Fe-9Cr-1W-0.2Ti-0.3Y 2O3) has recently been developed at CEA Saclay to achieve the goals defined for GEN IV reactors. The aim of this paper is to present the main challenges involved in the manufacturing of ...

Punching of flat slabs without transverse reinforcement has mostly been investigated in the past for slabs with equal reinforcement ratios in the two directions and loaded under axis-symmetrical conditions. However, in practice, slab bridges as well as man ...
Desiccation cracking of soils is of great importance in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. In many circumstances it is the cause of damages in earthen and soil supported structures. Desiccation cracking affects clayey soil barriers for waste st ...
