Fibre-reinforced composite structures subjected to complex loads exhibit gradual damage behaviour with the degradation of the effective mechanical properties and changes in their structural dynamic behaviour. Damage manifests itself as a spatial incr...
Fibre-reinforced composite structures under complex loads exhibit gradual damage behaviour with degradation of effective mechanical properties and change of their structural dynamic behaviour. In case of composite rotors, this can lead to catastrophi...
Composite structures undergo a gradual damage evolution from initial inter-fibre cracks to extended damage up to failure. However, most composites could remain in service despite the existence of damage. Prerequisite for a service extension is a reli...
Two identically sized RC beams were fabricated to investigate the effects of explosive loads on the flexural behaviour of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams. One of the beams was subjected to an explosive load to induce post-explosion damage, and subsequ...
In the research on sustainable mining and environmental preservation, understanding the dynamic behaviour of rock formations in deep, high-stress mining environments is essential. In order to acquire the laws of rock dynamic disaster generation from...
Damage identification of composite structures is a major ongoing challenge for a secure operational life-cycle due to the complex, gradual damage behaviour of composite materials. Especially for composite rotors in aero-engines and wind-turbines, a c...
The use of end-of-life tyre (ELT) rubber as a partial aggregate replacement in concrete represents a promising route for waste valorisation; however, its durability-related behaviour and long-term performance remain insufficiently characterised, part...
The high-speed plough tip is the core soil-touching component in southern Xinjiang field cultivation, but the interaction of the plough tip with the soil results in severe wear of the tip. The friction behaviour of sand and soil on plough tips was in...
The durability of eleven different water repellents applied on one sandstone type was studied after a long-term weathering at seven different locations in Germany. By measuring colour changes, it could be shown that the formation of black crusts, the...
The integration of bio-based constituents into cementitious materials requires robust predictive models capable of describing mechanical degradation while supporting sustainability-driven material design. This study presents a macro-constitutive dama...
Composite laminated materials have been largely implemented in advanced applications due to the high tailorability of their mechanical performance and low weight. However, due to their low resistance against out-of-plane loading, they are prone to ge...
The present study consists of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the effect of axial mean stresses on the high cycle fatigue behaviour of DIN 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel in quenched and tempered conditions. The axial S-N curves under 4...

Pneumoconiosis is a group of occupational lung diseases induced by mineral dust inhalation and subsequent lung tissue reactions. It can eventually cause irreparable lung damage, as well as gradual and permanent physical impairments. It has affected m...
In addition to traditional building materials, such as steel and concrete, wood has been gaining increasing prominence in recent years. In the past, the use of wood was limited due to its susceptibility to damage by fungi, insects, and temperature. T...
The interface between asphalt and aggregate acts as a key link in load transfer and damage development; its shear mechanical behaviour has a decisive influence on the fatigue cracking and durability of bituminous pavements. In this study, SBS-modifie...
