Reliable collapse assessment of structural systems under earthquake loading requires analytical models that are able to capture component deterioration in strength and stiffness. For calibration and validation of these models, a large set of experimental d ...
Soare and Curtin (Acta Mater. 2008; 56:4091-4101, 4046-4061) have recently developed a model of dynamic strain aging in solute-strengthened alloys. Their constitutive law describes time-dependent solute strengthening using rate equations that can be calibr ...
The improvement of the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube reinforced polycrystalline yttria-stabilized zirconia (CNT-YSZ) was questionable in earlier investigations due to several difficulties for processing of these composites. In the present articl ...
When a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is co-molded with galvanized steel, the subsequent adhesion and its durability are very sensitive to the chemical bonds created at the interface. Silane coupling primers are known for enhancing adhesion bet ...
We perform two-dimensional dynamic fracture simulations of a specimen in biaxial tension, incorporating various distributions of pre-existing microcracks. The simulations consider the spatial distribution of flaws while modeling the discrete failure proces ...

Many phenomena in crystalline metals such as friction, nano-indentation and ductile fracture are plasticity-driven and poorly understood. The physical complexity is further increased by the inherently multiscale nature of contact and fracture [1]. This stu ...
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 ...
In order to assess safety levels in glass structures a scattered and inhomogeneous variety of mostly complicated resistance criteria is presently available, very often requiring specially developed softwares. For this reason engineers who wants to assess w ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/nanostructured zirconia composites with a homogenous distribution of different MWCNT quantities (ranging within 0.5-5 wt.%) were developed. By using Spark Plasma Sintering we succeeded in preserving the MWCNTs firmly at ...
