Comparative study of physical properties of zirconia based dental ceramics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The aim of this project was to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of commercial yttria partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) ceramics, which have generated interest in restorative dentistry because of their high ...

Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Global yield surface construction of polymethacrylimide foam by an integrated approach combining nanoindentation, machine learning and microstructure-informed modeling

open access: yesMaterials & Design
Polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam is extensively utilized in lightweight sandwich structures yet lacks a reliable global yield surface for design guidance.

Kinematics‐based model for shear capacity assessment of unreinforced interior beam–column joints

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a kinematics‐based model for assessing the shear strength of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints without transverse reinforcement. The proposed framework is built on first principles—kinematics, equilibrium, and constitutive relations—and explicitly models discrete cracks by introducing kinematic parameters such

Structural behavior of small square steel tubes reinforced self‐compacting concrete columns under biaxial eccentric loads

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, the structural behavior of small square steel tube‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete (SSTR‐SCC) columns is investigated under symmetric and asymmetric biaxial eccentric loads. Twelve specimens were cast and tested under biaxial eccentric loads.

Fracture‐mechanical numerical simulation of punching in reinforced concrete foundations considering soil‐structure interaction and design code evaluation

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Current design provisions for punching shear in foundations, including Eurocode 2 (2023) and fib Model Code 2020, are mechanically based models partly calibrated against experimental data from isolated flat slabs and foundation specimens. The available experimental database for foundations is small and only partly representative of realistic ...

Research Progress in Treeing Phenomena of Polypropylene Insulation Materials

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polypropylene (PP) is increasingly utilised in high‐voltage systems due to its superior electrical and thermal properties. However, electrical treeing poses a significant threat to its long‐term reliability, potentially leading to insulation failure.
