Study on tensile performance of welded seams of PVC coated fabric membrane under uniaxial cyclic load

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Textiles
The mechanical performance degradation of welded seams under cyclic loading may lead to the failure of membrane structures. To investigate the influence of the off-axis angle and the the welded width on mechanical performance, the elastic modulus ...

Influence of engineered interfaces on residual stresses and mechanical response in metal matrix composites [PDF]

open access: yes
Because of the inherent coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between fiber and matrix within metal and intermetallic matrix composite systems, high residual stresses can develop under various thermal loading conditions.
