Translaminar fracture in (non–)hybrid thin-ply fibre-reinforced composites: An in-depth examination through a novel mini-compact tension specimen compatible with microscale 4D computed tomography

Abdullah Aydemir, Véronique Michaud, Joël Cugnoni, Guillaume Clément Broggi, Alexios Argyropoulos

Translaminar fracture toughness is pivotal for notch sensitivity and damage tolerance of fibre-reinforced composites. Hybridisation offers a promising pathway for enhancing this parameter in thin-ply composites. Three novel mini-compact tension specimen ge ...

Coupled micro-computed tomography and micromechanical experiment on the failure of discontinuous porphyry rock

Edward Carlo Giorgio Andò

Rock is a discontinuous, heterogeneous material with complex mechanical behaviour. The variable material properties create uncertainty in response to load, associated rock mass damage and communition. Traditional approaches in rock mechanics rely on labora ...

Influence of Thermoplastic Interlayers on Fatigue Crack Growth in Epoxy Materials

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan

This work examines the fatigue crack-arresting capability of thin PEI and PVDF thermoplastic interlayers in short-glass fiber-modified epoxy and core-shell rubber-modified epoxy materials. Singleedge notch bending epoxy specimens with and without interlaye ...

Basic creep of limestone-calcined clay cements: An experimental and numerical approach

Karen Scrivener, Julien Ston

This article presents a study on the creep properties of limestone calcined clay cement. A series of paste samples using limestone and calcined clays as replacement materials were tested under basic compressive creep. The ternary mixes showed a lower creep ...

Performance assessment of through-tenon timber joints under tension loads

Yves Weinand, Aryan Rezaei Rad

This paper aims to characterize the force-deformation response of through-tenon wood-wood connections subjected to tensile loads. Four beech LVL timber specimen groups with variations in the fiber orientation, and the tab insertion angle (45°, and 60°) are ...

The Deformation Capacity of Lap Splices in RC Walls: From Experimental Testing to Numerical Modelling

Danilo Tarquini

Field observations as well as experimental tests have shown that both the strength and displacement capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) members might be significantly reduced by the presence of lap splices. This degradation applies in particular if the lo ...
