Expansive cement couplers - a means of pre-tensioning fibre reinforced plastic tendons [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Fibre reinforced plastics describes a group of materials composed of inorganic or organic fibres embedded in a resin matrix. frps are strong, non-magnetic, light-weight and for the most part, non-corrodable.

Equilibrium states and stability of pre-tensioned adhesive tapes [PDF]

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014
In the present paper we propose a generalization of the model developed in Afferrante, L.; Carbone, G.; Demelio, G.; Pugno, N. Tribol. Lett. 2013, 52, 439–447 to take into account the effect of the pre-tension in the tape. A detailed analysis of the peeling process shows the existence of two possible detachment regimes: one being stable and the other ...

De-wrinkling of pre-tensioned membranes

open access: yesInternational Journal of Solids and Structures, 2014
AbstractThin membranes are used in the spacecraft industry as extremely lightweight structural components. They need to be stiffened, usually by applying discrete forces, and this increases their susceptibility to wrinkling in regions where high tensile stresses develop.
