on-uniform fiber distribution can significantly reduce the extension of multiple-cracking and favor crack local-izations in Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) members under tension with important implication on the sought durability. ...
In this article, the manufacturing and toughening effects on the material properties of epoxy adhesives used in wind tur-bine rotor blades are presented. Different adhesive materi-als are developed by combining SPABONDTM 820HTA (non-toughened) and SPABONDT ...
For the release of a slab avalanche, crack propagation within a weak snowpack layer below a cohesive snow slab is required. As crack speed measurements can give insight into underlying processes, we analysed three crack propagation events that occurred in ...
The 2D delamination behavior of composite laminates under quasi-static out-of-plane opening loading has been experimentally investigated. A circular embedded pre-crack was introduced in the center and at the midplane of the laminates. To investigate the ef ...
