This research project experimentally and numerically investigates the growth and coalescence of pre-existing voids for a wide range of stress states in a ductile matrix with a special focus on shear dominated loading conditions and presents quantitative ki ...
Seeking light and transparent bridge designs, engineers and architects have found an efficient and artistic way to fulfill their requirements: steel tubular bridges. In these modern tubular truss bridges, welded K-joints have been shown to be critically su ...
Traditional local approaches to continuum damage mechanics are known to lead to mesh dependency due to damage localization. Some corrections for this ill-posed problem exist through localization limiters. The integral non-local regularization is widely use ...
ASR affected concrete in real structures is usually subject to loads which affect the macroscopic expansion of the material. An experimental study was undertaken using sensors embedded in reactive and non-reactive samples loaded on modified creep frames. N ...
The uncertainty of the crack tip position inside composite coupons during a delamination test under variable fracture mode conditions reduces the accuracy of the experimental results. In this work a method is presented where the crack tip position is locat ...
Nowadays, composite materials are increasingly used in high technology fields such as aerospace and automotive because of the combination of excellent mechanical performance and lightweight. For these characteristics, classical metal alloys are progressive ...
Over the past decades the use of composite materials has enormously increased, especially in the aeronautical, automotive, and energy production industries. These materials allow to build lighter and larger structures which are more efficient. However, by ...
Fiber bridging is regularly encountered in model delamination tests of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites. However, characterization of the bridging tractions is rather difficult. One way to indirectly evaluate the bridging traction distribution is ...
Fibre reinforced materials are increasingly employed in aerospace, naval and civil structures because of their low weight and high specific strength and stiffness. A major concern is the inherent susceptibility of composite laminates to barely visible dama ...
We derive a three-dimensional constitutive theory accounting for length-scale dependent internal residual stresses in crystalline materials that develop due to a non-homogeneous spatial distribution of the excess dislocation (edge and screw) density. The s ...
