Effect of Flexural Static Load on the Strength of GFRP Gratings

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
– The usage of steel in offshore deep water area contributes to the massive load of the offshore platform which will lead to the massive operational cost. Therefore, the reduction of weight of platform is the major issue that need to be tackled properly.

Flexural vibrations of poroelastic solids in the presence of static stresses

Journal of Vibration and Control, 2013
Employing Biot’s theory of poroelasticity, three-dimensional vibrations in a poroelastic solid that is subjected to static stresses is investigated. By considering second-order coupling between stress and strain, pertinent governing equations are derived. A frequency equation is obtained in the case of static uniaxial stress or strain.

Static and Dynamic Flexural Strength Anisotropy of Barre Granite

Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2013
Granite exhibits anisotropy due to pre-existing microcracks under tectonic loadings; and the mechanical property anisotropy such as flexural/tensile strength is vital to many rock engineering applications. In this paper, Barre Granite is studied to understand the flexural strength anisotropy under a wide range of loading rates using newly proposed semi-

Kinematics, workspace and static analyses of 2-DOF flexure parallel mechanism

7th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, 2002. ICARCV 2002., 2004
In this paper, we propose a 2-DOF parallel mechanism with flexure hinges. The kinematics and static analyses of this mechanism are studied in order to determine the kinematics properties, workspace, holding forces of the actuators and the reaction forces at the flexure hinges. These factors are useful for design process of this mechanism.

Effect of Axial Impact on the Static Flexure of Graphite/Epoxy Beams

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 1989
Graphite-epoxy beams were subjected to an eccentric axial impact load in a drop tower test fixture in order to study their large displacement flexural behavior. The time history of the transient axial load exhibited a large magnitude occurring just after impact, which was many times greater than the static failure load.

Compliance modeling and analysis of statically indeterminate symmetric flexure structures

Precision Engineering, 2013
Abstract The linear and angular compliance models for a class of statically indeterminate symmetric (SIS) flexure structures are established in this paper. Compared with a single flexure hinge, the SIS flexure structure is free of parasitic motions when a force or moment is applied.

Flexural behaviour of selected riparian plants under static load

Ecological Engineering, 2012
Abstract Soil bioengineering techniques use plants as construction material for civil and hydraulic engineering purposes such as reinforcement of slopes and erosion control of embankments. The interactions of plants and stress from natural processes have to be quantified to assess such soil bioengineering systems from an engineering point of view ...

Static and dynamic flexural strength of 99.5% alumina: Relation to porosity

Mechanics of Materials, 2012
Abstract Advanced ceramic materials are widely implemented in a variety of cutting edge engineering applications. Their dynamic flexural strength is an important property under impact loading conditions. Therefore, this work reports a systematic comparison of static and dynamic flexural strength results for 99.5% commercial alumina, obtained using a ...

Quasi-Static Flexural and Indentation Behaviour of Polymer-Metal Laminate

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Metal-polymer laminates were subjected to quasi-static flexural and indentation loading. The laminates were made of two aluminium skins heat-bonded (laminated) to a core made of polyethylene plastic material. The samples were trimmed into standard-sized beams and panels which were then tested in flexural and indentation using the Instron universal ...

Static Flexural Performance of GFRP-Polymer Concrete Hybrid Beams

Key Engineering Materials, 2002
In this paper it is reported a research undertaken in hybrid beams, where GFRP pultruded profiles are assembled, in an innovative way, with a layer of polymer concrete. The various beams were designed considering a pultrusion profile that will work in tension, and a polymer concrete filling that will work mainly in compression, in order to take benefit
