Most mechanical components experience multi-axial cyclic loading conditions during service. Experimental analysis of fatigue cracks under such conditions is not easy and most works tend to focus more on the simpler but less realistic case…
The paper presents an experimental analysis of tracking the path of the cracks and crack growth in strengthened or repair reinforced concrete short corbels bonded by carbon fiber fabrics under static and dynamic loads. The reinforced short…
Vast number of theoretical and experimental works has been devoted to the study of discontinuous plastic deformation (the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect), which manifests itself for most widely used alloys in certain ranges of both…
This work presents experimental and numerical research to evaluate the compression confinement techniques of HSC beams reinforced with different ratios of high-strength steel reinforcement. Twelve specimens of high-strength reinforced…
The influence of the non-proportional loadings on the fatigue life depends on the material ductility. Ductile materials react with a shortening of lifetime compared to proportional loading conditions. For a semiductile material there is…
This study aims at providing a better understanding of the effects of both microstructure and defect on the high cycle fatigue behavior of metallic alloys using finite element simulations of polycrystalline aggregates. It is well known…
Numerical techniques have been widely applied in many recent works to investigate micro-scale behavior of materials. This work focuses on the analysis of strain localizations in a Nickel-based alloy, Haynes 230. Numerical models and…
The prediction of effective mechanical properties of composite materials using analytical models is of significant practical interest in situations in which tests are impossible, difficult, or costly. Many experimental and numerical works…
This work focuses on the mechanical characterization of the inorganic matrix used for Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites, nowadays widely used to retrofit existing reinforced concrete and masonry structures. While…
Mechanical processing of hole edges in large-size hull structures of single and double curvature for welding saturation parts into them is an urgent task of shipbuilding. A considerable amount of such machining has to be performed directly…
Extra-deep drawing is one of the most important sheet metal forming processes. The appearance of rupture and wrinkling are the most commonly encountered problems in this process. These defects are also very common at a local company…
The paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) beam elements strengthened externally with stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM). SSWM has the potential to be an alternative composite…
This study investigates the free vibration behavior of 3D-printed PA6 layered plates by considering the effects of stacking sequence, infill ratio, and boundary conditions. Unlike previous works, this research provides a comprehensive…
In this experimental works, the effect of GMA welding process parameters, such as arc voltage, wire feed speed, and gas flow rate on the mechanical quality of IS 2062 structural steel of grade A has been studied. Process parameters play an…
The paper investigates the use of 3D-printed components made from Polylactic Acid (PLA) for the restoration of architectural and ornamental elements, focusing on architectural/structural components. The material PLA was chosen for its…
