Experimental investigation of rotational behavior of pseudo-ductile adhesive angle joints exhibiting variable strain rate

Pseudo-ductile behavior in composite structural frames can be achieved by enabling their beam-column joints to exhibit nonlinear structural response due to progressive damage, by using pseudo-ductile adhesives. This study investigates the static behavior o ...

Shake Table Blind Prediction Tests: Contributions for Improved Fiber-based Frame Modelling

João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida

Distributed plasticity Euler-Bernoulli fiber beams are regularly used by researchers and practitioners to simulate the nonlinear seismic response of reinforced concrete framed structures. This study presents a sensitivity analysis, combining newly proposed ...

Crushing and intrusion resistance improvement of aluminum beams by carbon/epoxy composite patches

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Jonathan Friedli, Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin, Mathieu Piccand

This study investigates the intrusion and crushing performance of hybrid fiber metal laminates based on aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced polymers, in comparison to reference aluminum parts, made from AA6451 or AA7075 automotive grade alloys. A first se ...

Novel experimental design for two-dimensional delamination in FRP laminates

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Aida Cameselle Molares

Abstract: The two-dimensional (2D) delamination behavior of composite laminates under quasi-static out-of-plane opening loads has been experimentally investigated. A novel design and experimental set-up for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminated plates w ...

Hybrid processing of thick skins for honeycomb sandwich structures

Véronique Michaud

Carbon-epoxy prepregs are generally used to form the skins of honeycomb sandwich structures used in aerospace or racing yachts. For some applications, it is desirable to increase the thickness of the skins. In order to achieve an ideal core pressure level ...

Integrating life cycle costs and environmental impacts of composite rail car-bodies for a Korean train

Martyn Douglas Wakeman, Daniel Emery, Isabelle Blanc

A coupled Life Cycle Costing and life cycle assessment has been performed for car-bodies of the Korean Tilting Train eXpress (TTX) project using European and Korean databases, with the objective of assessing environmental and cost performance to aid materi ...

Shear resistance of lightweight concrete core of FRP-concrete sandwich structure

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Erika Schaumann

This paper presents a model to predict the shear resistance of the unreinforced lightweight concrete core of a recently developed hybrid sandwich concept for bridge decks. The sandwich skins consist of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheet for t ...

Flexural behavior of a hybrid FRP and lightweight concrete sandwich bridge deck

Thomas Keller, Till Vallée, Erika Schaumann

This paper presents a new concept for a lightweight hybrid- FRP bridge deck. The sandwich construction consists of three layers: a fiber-reinforced polymer composite (FRP) sheet with T-upstands for the tensile skin, lightweight concrete (LC) for the core a ...
