The frequent use of soils and earth materials for hydraulic capping and for geo-environmental waste containment motivated our interest in detailed modelling of changes in size and shape of macro-pores to establish links between soil mechanical behaviour an ...
This paper compares different models currently used to calculate the shear strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls retrofitted using fiber reinforced polymers (URM-FRP). The shear strengths of six recently tested URM-FRP walls were compared to shear s ...
We report an experimental and a theoretical study of the radial elasticity of multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a function of external radius. We use atomic force microscopy and apply small indentation amplitudes in order to stay in the linear elasticity reg ...
Aeroelastic tailoring requires structural compliance and thus often conflicts with stiffness requirements to carry prescribed aerodynamic loads. Recently however, the application of cellular structural concepts has suggested the potential to achieve compli ...
The bi-directional plate bending behavior of a pultruded GFRP bridge deck system with orthotropic material and system properties was investigated by means of two full- scale experiments and numerical modeling. Furthermore, the maximum span of the deck betw ...
[1] Room temperature investigations of the single-crystal elastic moduli and anisotropy of the epsilon phase of iron are performed up to 30.3 GPa using the radial X-ray diffraction technique. The accuracy of the calculated elastic moduli has improved compa ...
In this work, we attempt to simulate residual stresses and springback of a deformed metal pan based on a micro-macro modelling of the elastic and plastic strains. Samples cut out of an aluminium plate, under different angles relative to the rolling directi ...

This thesis describes measurements of the mechanical properties on the nanoscale. Three different mesoscopic tubular objects were studied: MoS2 nanotubes, carbon nanotubes and microtubules. The main goal was to investigate the interplay between the fine st ...
Physical properties including the equation of state, elasticity, and shear strength of pyrite have been measured by a series of X-ray diffraction in diamond-anvil cells at pressures up to 50 GPa. A Birch-Murnaghan equation of state fit to the quasi hydrost ...
The piezoresistive effect of thick-film resistors has found widespread application in pressure and force sensors due to their high strain-sensitivity, stability and low-cost. The main material requirements for these applications are a high piezoresistive r ...
