Performance of Reinforced Concrete Flat Slabs Having GFRP Gratings

Ahmed Mahmoud, Haitham F. Mostafa, Tarek S. Mostafa, Ahmed N. Khater

A thorough study of the literature indicated that there is not much relevant research on the application of GFRP gratings. Otherwise, extensive study has been done on FRP bars, laminates, sheets, strips, and rods. This study proposes a…

Analysis of dissipated energy and temperature fields at severe notches of AISI 304L stainless steel specimens

Daniele Rigon, Mauro Ricotta, Giovanni Meneghetti

In the last years, a large amount of fatigue test results from plain and bluntly notched specimens made of AISI 304L stainless steel were synthetized in a single scatter band by adopting the specific heat loss per cycle (Q) as a damage…
