Pseudo-ductile behavior in composite structural frames can be achieved by enabling their beam-column joints to exhibit nonlinear structural response due to progressive damage, by using pseudo-ductile adhesives. This study investigates the static behavior o ...
The project aims to validate some recent theoretical developments on the deformation twinning nucleation mechanism in HCP metals through small-scale mechanic experiments. To this end, a systematic investigation of the mechanical response of pure magnesium ...
In the last years, a novel typology of adhesive connections for structural glass application has emerged, known as laminated adhesive connections, which makes use of the transparent ionomer SentryGlasa (R) (SG) from Kuraray and the Transparent Structural S ...
The ductility and time-dependent recovery of a ductile acrylic adhesive were investigated in this work. The quasi-static true tensile and compressive strain behaviors were examined at different strain rates, taking large deformations into account. Yield st ...
Composite materials and, in particular, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) have been well studied and developed in the past years due to their advanced mechanical characteristics. These materials are used in several different application fields, such ...
Dynamic and post-dynamic recrystallization kinetics were investigated during hot-working of Inconel 718 as a function of temperature,strain and strain rate in the single phase domain.The post-dynamic evolution was found to be extremely fast and impacting s ...
The creep and stress relaxation behavior of a Fe-17Mn-5Si-10Cr-4Ni-1(V,C) (wt%) shape memory alloy at low homologous temperatures (-45 degrees C < T < 50 degrees C) was systematically studied in stress and strain controlled tensile tests. At constant stres ...
The demand for architectural transparency has drastically increased structural use of glass in buildings and constructions. Connections between structural glass components represent one of the main critical aspects of glass engineering. In the last years, ...
A change in strain path may have a significant effect on the mechanical response of metals. In order to understand or even predict the macroscopic behaviour under such conditions a detailed knowledge on the microstructural evolution is crucial. Yet relativ ...
Existing phenomenological constitutive models are unable to capture the full range of behaviors of ceramic composite laminates. To ameliorate this deficiency, we propose a new model based on the deformation theory of plasticity. The predictive capabilities ...
