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 ...
London2024Environmental 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 ...
2023Energy dissipation in fiber-polymer composites adhesive joints under cyclic loading
Sustainable development has emerged as a paramount consideration in various fields of industry, including construction, to preserve the environment and its finite resources. Lightweight structures, such as fiber-polymer composite structures, address both s ...
EPFL2023Proposed 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 ...
2023Experimental testing and structural analysis of composite tile – reinforced concrete domes
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 ...
2023Database of Residual Stress Measurements on Hot-rolled Wide Flange Steel Cross Sections
Dimitrios Lignos, Albano António De Abreu E Presa De Castro E Sousa, Andronikos Skiadopoulos
Data_info.csv: Database of 'Residual Stress Measurements on Hot-rolled Wide Flange Steel Cross Sections' including cross-sectional and material characteristics as well as information relevant to ploting the residual stress distributions. Distributions.zip: ...
Zenodo2023Fatigue behavior and life prediction of wind turbine blade composite materials
Fatigue life prediction of wind turbine rotor blades is a very challenging task, as their failure is led by different failure types that act synergistically. Inherent defects like wrinkles, fiber misalignments, and voids that can be introduced during fabri ...
Woodhead Publishing (Elsevier)2023Recyclable flame retardant phosphonated epoxy based thermosets enabled via a reactive approach
Véronique Michaud, Valentin Rougier
The development of reusable fire-safe polymers with a prolonged lifetime heralds the switch for a transition towards circular economy. In this framework, we report a novel phosphonated thermoset which is composed of networked phosphonate esters containing ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2023Development of a Python-Based Simulation Tools Library for Composite Steel Concrete Structures
Reinforced concrete and steel (RCS) structures are an exceptional combination when exploited thoughtfully; the advantages of composite structures over pure steel or reinforced concrete have been demonstrated through studies and real tests. Nonetheless, the ...
