Micro-mechanical finite element modeling for in-plane behavior of historical masonry

Shenghan Zhang

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...

In this work we introduce a theoretical and computational modeling framework for the contractile response of single cells triggered by external mechanical stimuli. The structural response due to the formation and dissociation of stress fibers is modeled fo ...

Progress in Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

This paper sets out to review the current state of the art in applying self-healing/self-repair to high-performing advanced fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials (FRPs). A significant proportion of self-healing studies have focused so far on develop ...

Effect of an adhesive layer on the mode I delamination in unidirectional CFRP bonded joints

Nassima Nasri

Several toughening mechanisms, such as fibre bridging, can occur during delamination of fibre reinforced composites. In structures made of composite bonded joints, delamination can occur either in the composite or in the adhesive layer. In the first case c ...

Intralaminar fracture of unidirectional carbon/epoxy composite: experimental results and numerical analysis

John Botsis, Georgios Pappas

Fracture of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) is dominated by large scale fiber bridging which acts as a very important toughening mechanism. The objective of this paper is to investigate the intralaminar Mode I fracture in a unidirectional CFRP com ...

Elsevier2016

Steel-lined pressure tunnels and shafts are constructed to convey water from reservoirs to hydroelectric power plants. They are multilayer structures made of a steel liner, a cracked backfill concrete layer, a cracked or loosened near-field rock zone and a ...

, ,

A novel phenomenological model taking into account the creep-fatigue interaction in composite materials’ fatigue performance is introduced in this paper. The model is based on the derivation of a master curve by using existing experimental fatigue data fro ...

Effect of hydrostatic pressure on flow and deformation in highly reinforced particulate composites

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maria Gabriella Tarantino

Infiltrated particle reinforced composites combine a dense matrix with particles that are in mutual contact and can therefore transfer compressive stress directly from one particle to the next. As a result, these composites may combine characteristics of t ...

Specimen thickness dependence of large scale fiber bridging in mode I interlaminar fracture of carbon epoxy composite

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Ebrahim Farmand Ashtiani

Large scale bridging is an important toughening mechanism in composite laminates that depends on the specimen geometry as well as the constituent materials. In this work, an iterative approach is applied to identify the effect of specimen thickness on trac ...
