Combined Shear-Flexural Verification Of In Plane Loaded Reinforced And Unreinforced Masonry Walls

Lorenzo Benedetti

The safety verification of in-plane loaded masonry panels requires the evaluation of at least three different collapse conditions connected with overturning, shear sliding, and shear - compression failure at the panels' toe. In reinforced panels, the resis ...

Web buckling mechanism of pultruded GFRP bridge deck profiles subjected to concentrated load

Congzhe Wang

The web's local buckling is a major failure type of pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck subjected to concentrated wheel loads. Three kinds of external actions-that is, in-plane shear force, local compressive force and bending moment ...

Load-bearing hydrogels ionically reinforced through competitive ligand exchanges

Esther Amstad, Matteo Hirsch, Mathias Steinacher, Ran Zhao

Fast advances in soft robotics and tissue engineering demand for new soft materials whose mechanical properties can be interchangeably and locally varied, thereby enabling, for example, the design of soft joints within an integral material. Inspired by nat ...

Experimental investigations on the load-carrying capacity of digitally produced wood-wood connections

Yves Weinand, Julien Gamerro, Jean-François Bocquet

The rise of digital fabrication has increased the use of wood-wood connections inspired by traditional carpentry in modern timber constructions. With recent developments on standard construction systems, the mechanical behavior of such joints for in-plane ...

Petrophysical properties of heavy oil-bearing carbonate rocks and their implications on petroleum system evolution: Insights from the Majella Massif

Carolina Giorgetti

In this work, we investigate the role of hydrocarbons in changing the petrophysical properties of rocks by merging laboratory measurements, outcrops characterization, and subsurface data focusing on a carbonate-bearing reservoir (Bolognano Formation) of th ...

Microstructural controls of anticrack nucleation in highly porous brittle solids

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe

Porous brittle solids have the ability to collapse and fail even under compressive stresses. In fracture mechanics, this singular behavior, often referred to as anticrack, demands for appropriate continuum models to predict the catastrophic failure. To ide ...

Structural Phase Transition and Bandgap Control through Mechanical Deformation in Layered Semiconductors 1T-ZrX2 (X = S, Se)

Helmuth Berger, Oleg Yazyev, Ana Akrap, Edoardo Martino, Michele Pizzochero, Kristians Cernevics, Konstantin Semeniuk

Applying elastic deformation can tune a material's physical properties locally and reversibly. Spatially modulated lattice deformation can create a bandgap gradient, favoring photogenerated charge separation and collection in optoelectronic devices. These ...

Static and Fatigue Biaxial Flexural Behavior of Strain-Hardening UHPFRC Thin Slab Elements

Xiujiang Shen

Cast-in-place thin layers of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) on the specific zones of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks has been demonstrated to be a technically efficient and economic rehabilitation an ...

The emergence of small-scale self-affine surface roughness from deformation

Till Junge

Most natural and man-made surfaces appear to be rough on many length scales. There is presently no unifying theory of the origin of roughness or the self-affine nature of surface topography. One likely contributor to the formation of roughness is deformati ...
