Model-Based Simulation of Durability of Materials and Structures

Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2005
Insufficient long-term durability of civil engineering infrastructure, especially concrete structures, has been a major problem causing enormous economic loss to many countries. Concrete structures are plagued by reinforcement corrosion, cracking due to drying shrinkage and nonuniform creep, alkali-silica reaction, sulfate attack, carbonation, leaching,

CAE Durability Simulation of Vibration Sweep Tests

Sensing, Modeling and Simulation in Emerging Electronic Packaging, 1996
Abstract This paper presents a simulation method for vibration sweep tests of components and interconnects. The paper introduces the computational method to determine cumulative fatigue damage as a function of the stress-frequency response, the sweep rate and the testing time, demonstrates the “local stress-strain” approach to predict ...

Durability of Concrete under Simulated Arctic Conditions

Cement, Concrete, and Aggregates, 1989
Abstract The durability of 0.44 W/C concrete under simulated Arctic conditions was studied. The length change of concrete specimens was monitored throughout the test. Samples taken from the concrete specimens before and after the test were analyzed to determine the effects of simulated Arctic conditions on the microstructure of the ...

Simulation Method of the Exhaust System on a Durability Bench

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2011
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The durability certification is one of the critical paths of a mass production vehicle project. For structural components, the development and the execution of experimental tests supported by finite element method (FEM) became mandatory for implementation time reduction ...

Durability of CFRP cables exposed to simulated concrete environments

Advanced Composite Materials, 2016
One of the main causes of structural deficiency in concrete bridges is the deterioration of the constituent materials. Some transportation agencies have started exploring the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) as a corrosion-resistant alternative to steel prestressing materials for longer lasting concrete bridge structures.

Durability evaluation and simulation of oven aged tires

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering
Tire durability has been an essential part of passenger and vehicle safety, which usually requires years of road services to test relevant performance. The tire oven aging test has been widely accepted as an accelerated laboratory test to induce large thermal oxidation of rubber compounds with mechanical degradations under high temperatures.

Dynamic Simulation of Vehicle Suspension Systems for Durability Analysis

Materials Science Forum, 2003
Optimisation for fatigue life is currently carried out manually, which is time consuming and may not achieve the best design. To shorten the design process, software for automated durability optimisation is being developed at the University of Leeds and is initially aimed at the automotive industry. A key aspect of the optimisation process is to obtain

Influence of simulated waste oxides on the durability of a borosilicate glass

Inorganica Chimica Acta, 1984
Abstract Although the numerous papers on the chemical durability of nuclear waste glasses, more work is needed to understand the effects of waste oxides on the glass durability. This is due to the great variety of possible compositions and to the wide leaching conditions [1]. We have prepared the N. 189 glass (England), B, to which we have added 10%

Durability simulation of FRP bridge decks subject to weathering

Composites Part B: Engineering, 2013
Abstract Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite panels are particularly attractive as bridge decks due to their high strength, low density, and durability, which are of importance in the bridge industry. Although the short term performance of FRP decks is satisfactory, the long-term performance under weather conditions still awaits future testimony
