Fatigue resistance of reinforced UHPFRC beams

Eugen Brühwiler, Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

This work investigates the fatigue resistance of reinforced Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious composite (R-UHPFRC) beams with special consideration of steel rebar – UHPFRC interaction under tensile stresses due to bending. Experimental t ...

Role of mean stress on fatigue behavior of a 316L austenitic stainless steel in LWR and air environments

Philippe Spätig, Hans-Peter Seifert

Mean stress effects on fatigue life of a stainless steel in air and boiling water reactor (BWR) environments were evaluated by load-controlled tests. In stress-life, non-zero mean stresses increase life in low cycle fatigue regime in both environments and ...

Nondestructive characterization of laser powder bed fusion parts with neutron Bragg edge imaging

Christian Leinenbach, Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics, Markus Strobl

Laser powder bed fusion is an efficient technique for additive manufacturing of metallic materials. The quality of the material produced depends on the optimization of a large range of build parameters and the complex thermo-mechanical build process is pro ...

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 ...

Fatigue of reinforced UHPFRC members and monitoring of fatigue action effects on bridges

Bartlomiej Wojciech Sawicki

The objective of this thesis is to develop knowledge and methods to prevent fatigue failure of bridges. The Fatigue Limit State is investigated from both the demand (S) and resistance (R) side. The S-part focuses on reduction of uncertainties through monit ...

3D laser shock peening - A new method for improving fatigue properties of selective laser melted parts

Christian Leinenbach, Manuel Ortega Varela De Seijas, Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics

Although Selective Laser Melting (SLM) currently revolutionizes the way parts are being manufactured, certain process inherent limitations such as accumulation of residual stresses and increased porosity content can lead to a decrease in fatigue life of pr ...

Investigation of the effect of Laser Shock Peening in Additively Manufactured samples through Bragg Edge Neutron Imaging

Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics, Markus Strobl

Additive manufacturing is a promising and rapidly rising technology in metal processing. However, besides a number of key advantages the constitution of a part through a complex thermo-mechanical process implies also some severe issues with the potential o ...

Multiaxial fatigue analysis of high-strength steel welded joints using generalized local approaches

Martin Antonio René Garcia

The objective of this thesis is to improve methods for predicting the fatigue life, multiaxial or not, of mild- and more particularly high-strength steels using local approaches that have the capacity to be applicable to almost any cases, hence the term ge ...
