Numerical Modeling of Tank Cars Carrying Hazardous Materials With and Without Composite Metal Foam
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Large‐scale puncture models consisting of hazardous materials (HAZMATs) tank car with protective steel–steel composite metal foam (S–S CMF) are solved numerically. Tank car plate with added 10.91–13.33 mm thick S–S CMF layer does not puncture. Protective S–S CMF absorbs impact energy, reduces plate deformation, and prevents shear bands formation ...

Study of shear performance of steel-timber composite connection with different shear connectors
Case Studies in Construction MaterialsThe shear resistance of steel-timber composite (STC) connections largely depends on the shear performance of shear connectors. Three types of shear connectors, i.e., welded stud, screw, and screw-grout were considered in this paper.
