Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Comparing the In‐Plane Shear Behavior of Glass Fiber‐Reinforced and Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Laminates With the Same Epoxy Matrix System in ±45° Tensile Tests

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of ±45° tensile testing, including detection of first‐ply failure (FPF) by optical crack detection and acoustic emission monitoring, comparison of FPF values with ASTM D3518 and D3039 criteria, and resulting ply level stress states at FPF for GF‐ and CF‐epoxy laminates.

A probabilistic high cycle fatigue model applied to cast Al-Si alloys [PDF]

, 2013
In this work, the high cycle fatigue behavior of cast hypo-eutectic Al-Si alloys is investigated. It is observed that two different coexisting fatigue initiation mechanisms can occur in these materials depending on the presence of different ...

Ultrahigh Stiffness and Energy Absorption Properties of Isotropic Metallic Closed Cell Microlattices

Small, EarlyView.
True closed cell microlattices without holes are fabricated for the first time using a novel Laser Sheet Fusion additive manufacturing technique. These microlattices exhibited isotropy in stiffness and surprisingly, strength and plasticity as well, despite orientation‐dependent failure mechanisms. Furthermore, material work hardening is shown to be key

Increasing the Reuse Potential of High‐Strength Steels by Extending the Fatigue Life through Surface Treatments

steel research international, EarlyView.
Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse.

Creep Performance of Stainless Steel 316 Brackets: Insights From Conventional and Advanced Modeling Approaches

steel research international, EarlyView.
Creep behavior of SS 316 brackets is examined through experiments, conventional creep laws, and advanced constitutive modeling. Long‐term deformation, stress redistribution, and life prediction are compared under service‐relevant loads. The study highlights the limits of classical models and demonstrates improved accuracy using advanced approaches for ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation of longitudinal tunnel lining joints with confining reinforcement

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Precast reinforced concrete segmental linings are frequently used in modern tunneling. In these linings, the longitudinal joints typically have a reduced contact cross‐section and thus often govern the design, particularly in tunnels under high hydrostatic pressure or crossing squeezing or swelling ground with correspondingly high ...

Use of elastic stresses for a multiaxial fatigue prediction [PDF]

Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2007
A new computational method derived from Papuga PCr multiaxial criterion is presented in the paper. While the PCr criterion is suitable for a comparison of a local multiaxial loading with a fatigue limit, the PCF criterion derived is focused on ...
