In the southeastern coastal regions of China, thick layers of marine soft soil are widely distributed, exhibiting characteristics such as high compressibility, high porosity, low strength, high sensitivity, and easy thixotropy, and these viscoelastic...
This paper is devoted to a new gauge of small dynamic bending deformations of structures. Unlike previously existing strain gauges that measure elongation or compression at a certain point on the surface of a deformable body, the proposed gauge measu...
The use of composite precast or steel bars as reinforcements for timber beams is an important technique that can improve effectiveness or allow cross sections to be reduced. This paper presents experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies of full...
Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are increasingly widely used in slope support instead of steel bars or steel pipes. GFRP Bars are generally connected with the slope by combining conical nut and tray, but the tray stress still lacks corresp...
This paper presents the experimental results of composite rebars based on GFRP manufactured by a pultrusion system. The bending and radial compression strength of rods was determined. The elastic modulus of GFRP rebars is significantly lower than for...
The combined use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars offers a promising sustainable and corrosion-resistant solution for reinforced concrete structures. However, the inferior quality of recycled aggreg...
To investigate the flexural behavior of high-strength concrete beams reinforced with a hybrid configuration of GFRP bars and high-strength steel bars, four-point bending tests were conducted on five C80 high-strength concrete beams, with the reinforc...
In this study, Ti-48Al-3Nb-1.5Ta powders were manufactured from cast bars by the supreme-speed plasma rotating electrode process (SS-PREP) and used to prepare hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) material at 1050–1260 °C with 150 MPa for 4 h....
A provisionalization sequence is essential for obtaining a predictable final prosthetic outcome. An assessment of the mechanical behavior of interim prosthetic materials could orient clinicians towards selecting an appropriate material for each clini...
A new layered heterostructure composite material system (TC4 as front layer and 2024Al alloy as back layer) was developed and analyzed for its design and performance in terms of an enhanced absorption capability and anti-penetration behavior. The Flo...
Existing analytical models for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP)-strengthened timber beams are generally limited to individual strengthening techniques and cannot readily accommodate hybrid reinforcement systems. This study develops a generalized analyt...
This article presents a new parametric method for shaping flat transverse frame structural systems supporting thin-walled roofs made of flat sheets folded unidirectionally and transformed elastically to various shell forms. The parameterization was l...
(1) Objective: External fixation systems are commonly used by surgeons to ensure stabilization and consolidation of bone fractures, especially in patients who are at high risk for systematic complications. Both rigid and elastic external fixations ar...
In modern steel construction, thin-walled elements with Class 4 cross-sections are commonly used. For the sake of the computation of such elements according to European Eurocode 3 (EC3), simplified computational models are applied. These models do no...
