Numerical investigation of two-dimensional Mode-II delamination in composite laminates

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Congzhe Wang

Existing standards for delamination tests on composite materials typically employ one-dimensional (1D) beam specimens. However, such specimens may not represent real delamination scenarios in composite structures, where cracks tend to propagate in two dime ...

Environmental and Life-Cycle Cost Evaluation of a Composite Timber-UHPFRC Bridge

Eugen Brühwiler, Numa Joy Bertola

Ultra-High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) has recently been used to design lightweight structures and strengthen existing ones, with more than 300 applications in Switzerland. Several composite timber-UHPFRC bridges have been ...

Vortex shedding from a composite hydrofoil: Experimental evidence of a novel "partial lock-in"

Mohamed Farhat, Thomas Antoine Nicolas Berger, Qin Wu, Yunqing Liu

Lock-in is of great importance in many engineering applications due to its practical implications for structural safety. The influence of composite bend-twist coupling on the wake dynamics and vortex-induced vibration around a carbon fiber composite hydrof ...

Proposed Panel Zone Model for Beam-To-Column Joints in Steel Moment Resisting Frames

Dimitrios Lignos, Andronikos Skiadopoulos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

In capacity designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), beam-to-column joints (i.e., panel zones) are designed to remain elastic. To potentially exploit the beneficial aspects of the stable panel zone hysteretic response in shear, a robust panel zone mo ...

Experimental testing and structural analysis of composite tile – reinforced concrete domes

Savvas Saloustros

Conventional formworks for concrete curved shells either are expensive, complex and wasteful or have formal restrictions. Using tile vaults (also known as timbrel, Guastavino, thin-tile or Catalan vaults) as stay-in-place formwork for concrete shells could ...

A Novel Method to Quantify Self-Healing Capabilities of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Robin Samuel Trigueira, Cecilia Scazzoli

The present work investigates a novel and practical method to evaluate the healing efficiency of carbon-reinforced polymer composites. The method should be representative of damage occurring during the lifetime of a composite part, should tend to damage th ...

A "combi-encapsulant" for enhanced performance of glass-free lightweight crystalline silicon solar PV modules

Christophe Ballif, Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani, Fabiana Lisco

Lightweight crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV modules with a weight of 5kg/m(2), by substituting the typical front glass with a thin polymer sheet and the standard back sheet by a composite sandwich structure are presented here. With this work, we propose the ...
