In this study, the tensile and fracture properties and the microstructure of the reduced-activation tempered martensitic steel Eurofer97 have been investigated. This technical alloy is a 9%Cr steel developed within the European fusion material research pro ...
At early age, ultra high performance fibre reinforced concretes (UHPFRC)undergo significant volumes changes (thermal deformation and autogenous shrinkage)related to their composition. These deformations can be restrained by different elements respective to ...
Fibres fracture gradually during the fatigue cycling of continuous alumina fibre reinforced aluminium. The number of fibre breaks increases linearly with the logarithmic cycle number, depends on the maximum stress and the stress ratio, and agrees with publ ...
Following ICOM’s participation in the redaction of a new recommendation for the evaluation of existing railway-bridges, in collaboration with the SBB/CFF, new questions have been raised. Among those, the influence of a welded longitudinal attachment ends s ...
Phenol and melamine-formaldehyde (PF and MF) cellulose composites are being used extensively in the laminate industry. Despite their many advantages, flat panels produced from such materials have a tendency to warp immediately after processing as well as d ...
One of the key problems in dental biomechanics is the prediction of tooth mobility under functional loads. Understanding tooth displacement due to load is becoming more important as new solutions in dental restorations, prosthodontics and orthodontic treat ...
Calculated strain distributions in flexible pavement were studied by comparison with measurements made on full-scale structures. The calculated results were obtained by elastic and viscoelastic modellings of these structures. As no stress measurements were ...
To gain insight into the physical nature of the coupling between mechanical stress and humidity variations, the behaviour of thin wood strips was studied using specially developed apparatus for creep/recovery and relaxation/blotting-out tests in a controll ...
In cold pilgering of tubes, a material element undergoes a series of small incremental deformations (≈100 strokes), alternatively under tensile and compressive stresses. This complex history sometimes results in surface damage, seemingly by low-cycle fatig ...
During cure of epoxy resins, polymerization induces an increase in mechanical properties, which is accompanied by a volumetric shrinkage. When the resin is cured in a constrained mold to which it adheres, tensile stresses will hence develop, which may exce ...
