Manufacturing and toughening effects on the material properties of wind turbine blade adhesives

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Dharun Vadugappatty Srinivasan

Hybrid adhesives can be developed using commercially available adhesive materials and customized to the required loading conditions. In this paper, SPABONDTM 820HTA (non-toughened) and SPABONDTM 840HTA (toughened) adhesives are hybridized by two strategies ...

Strengthening mechanisms in dilute and random solid solution high-entropy BCC alloys

Alireza Ghafarollahi

Tuning the mechanical properties of metals, including strength, through adjusting the type and/or concentration of added solute elements, has been recognized as an effective way to design and produce materials with desired or optimized mechanical propertie ...

Post-tensioning of glass beams: Analytical determination of the allowable pre-load

Alain Nussbaumer, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will in service be exposed to tensile stresses induced by bending. Maximum pre ...

Shear Response of Wet Weak Carbonate Rock/Grout Interfaces Under Cyclic Loading

Eleni Stavropoulou

The development and construction of offshore wind farms requires the correct estimation of the friction that can be mobilised at the rock/grout interface. In conventional studies, the shear behaviour of a joint is usually investigated with laboratory tests ...

Soil-structure interaction of surface footings

Lyesse Laloui, Cristiano Garbellini

Limit-state analysis of soil-structure interacting systems is a classical problem in theoretical and applied soil mechanics. Usually, the capacities of both components are evaluated separately. However, it is well known that soil-structure interaction play ...

From vesicles to materials: bioinspired strategies for fabricating hierarchically structured soft matter

Esther Amstad

Certain organisms including species of mollusks, polychaetes, onychophorans and arthropods produce exceptional polymeric materials outside their bodies under ambient conditions using concentrated fluid protein precursors. While much is understood about the ...

Cyclic thermomechanical behaviour of pile-soil interface and design methods for energy pile foundations

Elena Ravera

Energy piles are shallow geothermal systems integrated into structures already required for structural functions of civil works that provide both geothermal energy supply and structural support to the built environments. This research work is driven by the ...

Study on Mechanical Performance of Prestressed UHPFRC U-Beam Bridges

Eugen Brühwiler

The forms of U-shaped UHPFRC beams have not been investigated for the highway footbridge. Compared with the traditional section forms, the U-shaped UHPFRC beams can reduce the material consumption under the condition of providing the same bearing capacity. ...

Efficient Bootstrapping for Approximate Homomorphic Encryption with Non-sparse Keys

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Juan Ramón Troncoso-Pastoriza, Jean-Philippe Léonard Bossuat, Christian Vincent Mouchet

We present a bootstrapping procedure for the full-RNS variant of the approximate homomorphic-encryption scheme of Cheon et al., CKKS (Asiacrypt 17, SAC 18). Compared to the previously proposed procedures (Eurocrypt 18 & 19, CT-RSA 20), our bootstrapping pr ...

Uncertainties in the Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Francesco Vanin

Seismic assessments of historical masonry buildings are affected by several sources of epistemic uncertainty. These are mainly the material and the modelling parameters and the displacement capacity of the elements. Additional sources of uncertainty lie in ...

Variational phase-field continuum model uncovers adhesive wear mechanisms in asperity junctions

Jean-François Molinari, Sylvain Collet

Wear is well known for causing material loss in a sliding interface. Available macroscopic approaches are bound to empirical fitting parameters, which range several orders of magnitude. Major advances in tribology have recently been achieved via Molecular ...

Statistical Fatigue Investigation and Failure Prediction of a Healable Composite System

Nathan Klaus Hostettler, Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fiber reinforced polymers are massively used as an alternative to metals in structural applications. The brittle nature of their matrix, however, makes them more susceptible to crack formation and propagation resulting in costly repair operations and incre ...

Casting position effects on bond performance of reinforcement bars

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Francesco Rafael Alberto Moccia

The phenomena associated with the consolidation of fresh concrete (bleeding and plastic settlement) are commonly considered significant for the bond performance of reinforcement. However, rules to take care of such influence for design are not consistent a ...

Origami-inspired carbon fiber-reinforced composite sandwich materials - Fabrication and mechanical behavior

Thomas Keller

A folding fabrication method inspired by origami for carbon fiber-reinforced composites to fabricate three-dimensional structures is presented. PMI foams serve as substrates, making it possible to manufacture this kind of origami-inspired composite sandwic ...

Influence of cracking and rough surface properties on the transfer of forces in cracked concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Max Tirassa

Aggregate interlocking is acknowledged as one of the most significant actions transferring shear forces in cracked concrete structures and has been investigated for several decades. Despite the many experimental programmes and previous efforts to develop m ...

Onset of sliding across scales: How the contact topography impacts frictional strength

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Fabian Barras

When two solids start rubbing together, frictional sliding initiates in the wake of slip fronts propagating along their surfaces in contact. This macroscopic rupture dynamics can be successfully mapped on the elastodynamics of a moving shear crack. However ...

The influence of the kinematics of rough surface engagement on the transfer of forces in cracked concrete

Miguel Fernández Ruiz

One of the most instrumental aspects governing the response of structural concrete at ultimate limit state refers to the possibility of developing smeared cracking patterns within a member (associated normally to the presence of sufficient reinforcement fo ...

A state of the art of flat-slab frame tests for gravity and lateral loading

Aurelio Muttoni

This paper presents a critical review of the state of the art of experimental research concerning the seismic response of reinforced concrete flat slab frames. After a summary of tests on connections, the paper examines tests carried out on frames with gra ...
