[EN] In this study, the open-hole quasi-static tensile and fatigue loading behavior of a multidirectional CFRP thick laminate, representative of laminates used in the aerospace industry, is studied. Non-destructive techniques ...

[EN] Cancellous bone yield strain has been reported in the literature to be relatively constant and independent from microstructure and apparent density, while fracture strain shows higher scattering. The objective of this ...

[ES] Para medir la tensión durante el ensayo de tracción de las muestras a veces se requieren imágenes que deben ser relacionadas con los datos de la máquina de tracción. Esto podría hacerse pulverizando un polvo punteado ...

[EN] The interaction of reinforcing steel and concrete is decisive for the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) in the serviceability and ultimate limit state. In the past decade, distributed fibre optical ...

[EN] Open cell polyurethane foams are often used as cancellous bone surrogates because of their similarities in morphology and mechanical response. In this work, open cell polyurethane foams of three different densities ...

[EN] (1) Background: Open-cell polyurethane foam mechanical behavior is highly influenced by microstructure. The determination of the failure mechanisms and the characterization of the deformation modes involved at the ...

[EN] The assessment of the shear strength of reinforced concrete beams with and without shear reinforcement is investigated in this paper on the basis of the contribution of the various potential shear-transfer actions. ...
