Flexural performance of FRP reinforced concrete beams [PDF]
Composite Structures, 2012 Abstract A numerical method for estimating the curvature, deflection and moment capacity of FRP reinforced concrete beams is developed. Force equilibrium and strain compatibility equations for a beam section divided into a number of segments are numerically solved due to the non-linear behaviour of concrete.

The performance comparison of Oxford and triangle flexure bearings [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2012 Flexure bearings are widely used in linear compressors because of their high radial stiffness and long life. In this paper, a Finite Element Method (FEM) is employed to analyze the characteristics of Oxford and triangle flexure bearings. These two kinds of plate springs are analyzed separately by changing the load, thickness and width of the spring arm,

Fracture toughness of ultra high performance concrete by flexural performance [PDF]
Gradjevinski materijali i konstrukcije, 2016 This paper describes the fracture toughness of the innovative structural material - Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC), evaluated by flexural performance. For determination the material behaviour by static loading are used adapted standard test methods for flexural performance of fiber-reinforced concrete (ASTM C 1609 and ASTM C 1018).
