Modification of gelcoat based unsaturated polyester resin with functionalized octaspherosilicates to reduce the ice adhesion strength

Many composite structures used in various industries, such as wind turbines, aircraft, watercraft, lifeboats and others face the problem of ice build-up in winter seasons. The mechanical, thermal and chemical methods used so far to remove ice are inefficie ...

Local relaxation of residual stress in HFMI-treated high-strength steel welded joints subjected to high-peak loads

Alain Nussbaumer

This study investigates the effect of high-peak loads on local relaxation of residual stress and fatigue damage in HFMI-treated high-strength steel welded joints. The finite element simulations are applied to consider the combined effect of geometry, mater ...

Shearing and opening of a pre-existing discontinuity in response to fluid injection

Ankit Gupta, Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe, Ankit Gupta

We investigate the fluid-driven growth of a shear crack along a frictional discontinuity and its transition to hydraulic fracturing (sometimes referred to as hydraulic jacking) under plane-strain conditions. We focus on the case of a constant friction coef ...

Injection-Induced Aseismic Slip in Tight Fractured Rocks

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion

We investigate the problem of fluid injection at constant pressure in a 2D Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) with randomly oriented and uniformly distributed frictionally-stable fractures. We show that this problem shares similarities with the simpler scenar ...

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 ...

Adhesive wear with a coarse-grained discrete element model

Jean-François Molinari, Son-Jonathan Pham-Ba

The use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations has led to promising results to unravel the atomistic origins of adhesive wear, and in particular for the onset of wear at nanoscale surface asperities. However, MD simulations come with a high computational c ...

New theory for. Mode I crack-tip dislocation emission

William Curtin, Predrag Andric

A material is intrinsically ductile under Mode I loading when the critical stress intensity K-Ie for dislocation emission is lower than the critical stress intensity K-Ic for cleavage. K-Ie is usually evaluated using the approximate Rice theory, which pred ...

A phenomenological analysis of Mode I fracture of adhesively-bonded pultruded GFRP joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

The fracture behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded joints was experimentally investigated under Mode I loading using double cantilever beam specimens. The pultruded adherends comprised two mat layers on each side with a roving layer in the middle. An epo ...

Fracture strength of structural glass elements : analytical and numerical modelling, testing and design

Matthias Haldimann

For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...

Stress control in GaN/sapphire templates for the fabrication of crack-free thick layers

Nicolas Grandjean, Marc Ilegems, Denis Martin

The reduction of the tensile stress contained in GaN layers grown oil sapphire by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is achieved using a low density of initial GaN crystallites. The template layers exhibit a significant reduction in dislocation densi ...

Deconsolidation in glass mat thermoplastic composites : Analysis of the mechanisms

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Joëlle Wolfrath

During reheating and post-processing of thermoplastic-based composites, deconsolidation is often observed: the volume fraction fibre decreases and the void content increases. In this article, the phenomena leading to deconsolidation are investigated, with ...
