Disorder-induced stiffness degradation of highly disordered porous materials [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, 2017
The effective mechanical behavior of multiphase solid materials is generally modeled by means of homogenization techniques that account for phase volume fractions and elastic moduli without considering the spatial distribution of the different phases. By means of extensive numerical simulations of randomly generated porous materials using the lattice ...

Study on properties of composites reinforced by heat treated glass fibres simulating thermal recycling conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In the present study, commercial chopped glass fibres were heat treated at 300°C, 450°C, 500°C and 600°C to imitate a composite thermal recycling process.

Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Stiffness Degradation during Deep Excavation in Urban Area

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Geoenvironmental Society, 2015
, 2014ABSTRACT : In urban area, many design projects related to geotechnical projects are controlled by serviceability rather than stability requirements. Accordingly, control of ground deformation has become more crucial and many researchers have studied soil stiffness. Recent experimental studies on the stress-strain response of Chicago glacial clays

New methodology for calculating damage variables evolution in Plastic Damage Model for RC structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under severe demands, as strong ground motions, is highly complex; this is mainly due to joint operation of concrete and steel, with several coupled failure modes.

Post-Cracking Shear Stiffness Model of Reinforced Concrete Beams

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Macro diagonal cracks can significantly reduce the stiffness of slender reinforced concrete (RC) beams, which results in excessive deflection compared with limitations from design specifications.
