Damage spectra for existing reinforced concrete buildings in Europe are presented in this paper. To this end, a series of time-history nonlinear dynamic analyses for single-degree-of-freedom systems with different deformation ductility values and yielding ...
We study mechanical reinforcement in a widely used epoxy matrix with the addition of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) and various mixture ratios of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with GnPs. Two different dimensions of GnPs were used with flake sizes of 5 mu m and 25 ...
We present a computational model, which combines interface debonding and frictional contact, in order to investigate the response of concrete specimens subjected to dynamic tensile and compressive loading. Concrete is modeled using a meso-mechanical approa ...
A 2-D numerical model for brittle creep and stress relaxation is proposed for the time-dependent brittle deformation of heterogeneous brittle rock under uniaxial loading conditions. The model accounts for material heterogeneity through a stochastic local f ...
The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed experimental procedure for the quantitative determination of initiation fracture toughness and full-field strain measurement of rock material under dynamic loads. Notched semi-circular bending tests were c ...
Stress relief treatment is often required prior to sawing aluminum DC cast products in order to prevent crack formation and significant safety concerns due to the presence of high residual stresses generated during casting. Numerical models have been devel ...

The influence of welding tensile residual stresses on fatigue crack growth in bridge tubular K-joints is investigated through experimental testing of large-scale specimens. Crack development is monitored using the alternating current potential drop method. ...
A MLS-based lattice spring model is presented for numerical modeling of elasticity of materials. In the model, shear springs between particles are introduced in addition to normal springs. However, the unknowns contain only particle displacements but no pa ...
Three-dimensional finite element simulations are used to investigate the role of serrated flow on the strain at the onset of necking in a cylindrical uniaxial tension specimen. The material is idealized using a modified form of the McCormick constitutive e ...
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 ...
