Tension-tension fatigue behavior of basalt composite hybrid joints

Thomas Keller, Lulu Liu, Xin Wang

The tension–tension fatigue behavior of pseudo-ductile hybrid bonded-bolted double lap basalt composite joints, composed of pseudo-ductile adhesives and adherends with multi-directional fiber architecture, was experimentally investigated. The fatigue damag ...

Fatigue life prediction of wind turbine rotor blades is a very challenging task, as their failure is led by different failure types that act synergistically. Inherent defects like wrinkles, fiber misalignments, and voids that can be introduced during fabri ...

Statistical Fatigue Investigation and Failure Prediction of a Healable Composite System

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fiber reinforced polymers are massively used as an alternative to metals in structural applications. The brittle nature of their matrix, however, makes them more susceptible to crack formation and propagation resulting in costly repair operations and incre ...

Optimization of multi-directional fiber architecture for resistance and ductility of bolted FRP profile joints

Thomas Keller, Lulu Liu, Xin Wang

In view of the low structural efficiency of bolted joints in pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) profiles with mainly unidirectional (UD) fiber architecture, off-axis plies were considered as an effective way to improve bolted joint performance. An ex ...

Comportement des éléments en béton armé fléchis sous charge cyclique

For various types of civil structures such as bridges, skyscrapers and other slender towers, oil rigs as well as runaways, dynamic loading is predominant. This holds true especially for bridges where loads have increased considerably in the last hundred ye ...

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 ...

Despite the intensive efforts dedicated in the last decades to better understanding punching shear failures, there is still no consensus on the mechanics governing this phenomenon and on how to implement it within a physical approach. In this paper, an ana ...

Studies on large scale bridging in delamination of unidirectional and cross-ply laminates

Ebrahim Farmand Ashtiani

Delamination propagation in fibrous laminates is often accompanied by development of a damage zone, within which intact fibers bridge the crack faces that constitutes a major toughening mechanism. A direct experimental assessment of the crack closure tract ...

Energy dissipation and recovery in web-flange junctions of pultruded GFRP decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

The energy dissipation capacity resulting from progressive cracking and the recovery after unloading of the web-flange junctions (WFJs) of a pultruded GFRP deck were experimentally investigated. Web-cantilever bending experiments up to failure were perform ...
