Influence of natural fiber in the mechanical and durability behaviour of hybrid fiber-reinforced concrete

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Cracks developed due to drying and shrinkage in plain cement concrete can be overcome by introducing discreet and randomly oriented fibrous material as a reinforcing agent. Researchers focused only on synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) most of the

Wetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii [PDF]

, 2015
We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the ...

Behavior of non-reinforced and reinforced green mortar with fibers

Open Engineering, 2020
The behavior of non-reinforced green mortar with fibers has been observed. Different green mortar mixes have been prepared using different percentages of waste glass powder (WGP), steel slag (SG) and silica fume (SF).The properties of flow, density ...

Experimental data about mechanical behaviour during compression tests for various matted fibres [PDF]

, 2005
A specific experimental device has been set up to test compressive mechanical behaviour of an assembly of fibres. Simple compression, as well as cyclic loading experiments and relaxation tests were performed. The experimental set up also allows to record

Robust real-time imaging through flexible multimode fibers

Scientific Reports, 2023
Conventional endoscopes comprise a bundle of optical fibers, associating one fiber for each pixel in the image. In principle, this can be reduced to a single multimode optical fiber (MMF), the width of a human hair, with one fiber spatial-mode per image ...

Thermal Monitoring: Raman Spectrometer System for Remote Measurement of Cellular Temperature on a Microscopic Scale [PDF]

, 2010
A simple setup was demonstrated for remote temperature monitoring of water, water-based media, and cells on a microscopic scale. The technique relies on recording changes in the shape of a stretching band of the hydroxyl group in liquid water at 3,100-3 ...
