Review of fatigue of bulk structural adhesives and thick adhesive joints

Fatigue of structural adhesives has been investigated through joints and a little number of works investigate bulk adhesive behaviour itself. Aerospace and automotive engineering focuses more on joint configuration studies, which are correlated with practi ...

Two-dimensional crack growth in FRP laminates and sandwich panels

Aida Cameselle Molares

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are currently being selected for the design of lightweight and efficient structural members in a wide number of engineering applications. Sandwich panels with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) face she ...

Load history effects in fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials

Abdolvahid Movahedirad

Today, it is widely accepted that fatigue is one of the most common failure mechanisms in structural components, and pure static failure is rarely observed. Engineering structures are subjected to complex mechanical fatigue loading histories, which cause d ...

Strengthening of metallic members under mixed mode fatigue loading using prestressed CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini

The strengthening of existing steel structures against high-cycle fatigue (HCF) loading has become one of the most important topics of interest in structural rehabilitation. Apart from the conventional strengthening techniques that incorporate bulky and he ...

Behavior of prestressed CFRP plates bonded to steel substrate: Numerical modeling and experimental validation

Ardalan Hosseini, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori

In recent years, retrofitting of steel structures has emerged as a major issue in structural engineering and construction management. As the adhesive bond is often the critical aspect controlling the actual performance of steel profiles externally strength ...

Static behavior of Reinforced UHPFRC beams with thin cover depth

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

Because of its high tensile strength and deformation capacity, UHPFRC (Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite) can theoretically be used without any reinforcement bars or prestressing. However, for more economical design and for rea ...

The potential of textile reinforced concrete for design of innovative structures

Aurelio Muttoni, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a recent evolution of ordinary reinforced concrete. This relatively new construction material replaces steel reinforcement with high-strength, non-corrosive textile fabrics in order to reduce cover requirements to minim ...

The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

Danilo Tarquini

Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices. This degradation applies in particular if the lo ...

Creep/fatigue/relaxation of angle-ply GFRP composite laminates

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are used in engineering structures of several domains, such as wind energy, bridges, and automotive industry. Usually such material systems include polymeric matrices and exhibit behavior that is sensitive to the l ...
