Technical and environmental viability of a road bicycle pedal part made of a fully bio-based composite material
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-13)
Article
Open AccessGlass fibre is the most widely used material for reinforcing thermoplastic matrices presently and its use continues to grow. A significant disadvantage of glass fibre, however, is its impact on the environment, in particular, ... -
Flexural failure of fabric reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) plates under punctual loads: experimental test, analytical approach and numerical simulation
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FCRMs) are composites that produce lighter and more durable strengthening solutions. In this study, carbon and basalt fabrics were used to manufactured FRCM plate specimens. These ... -
Analytical model for masonry walls strengthened with vegetal fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites and subjected to cyclic loads
(2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMasonry is one of the eldest construction systems in the building industry, currently in use because some advantages like compressive capacity, traditional aesthetics, low cost and good practices. However, damages recorded ... -
In-plane cyclic loading of masonry walls strengthened by vegetal-fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) composites
(Elsevier, 2020-10-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyFabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FCRMs) are promising composite materials for the retrofitting and reinforcement of existing structures. In this study, vegetal meshes consisting of hemp and cotton coated with epoxy ... -
A plasticity model for simulation of industrial powder compaction processes
(1996-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA constitutive model, based on large strain plasticity, for simulation of industrial powder compaction processes is presented. The elastic response is stated in terms of a hyperelastic model based on a hookean elastic free ... -
On numerical simulation of powder compaction process: powder transfer modelling and characterisation
(2005-08)
Article
Open AccessA numerical model for the powder transfer stage in powder metallurgy cold compaction processes, and the corresponding material characterisation procedure, are proposed. They have been designed on the basis of the following ... -
Numerical modeling of crack formation in powder forming processes
(2011-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents a constitutive model describing the mechanical behavior of metal powders during (uniaxial) cold die compaction processes, placing special emphasis on the modeling of cracks formed during the ejection ... -
Analytical and simplified numerical approaches of FRCM pipes
(Elsevier, 2020-06-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDespite the well-known advantages of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM), few applications of this composite material have been proposed apart from structural strengthening. To exploit material corrosion resistance, ... -
Computational approach to evaluating the strength of eggs: implications for laying in organic egg production
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Article
Open AccessWith the aim of characterising the different stress patterns in several egg types and evaluating the resistivity of the eggshell while impacting in free fall, experimental tests and computational simulations have been ... -
Assessing the performance of CFRP strengthening on masonry walls using experimental modal analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-08-15)
Article
Open AccessStrengthening masonry structures using FRP laminates has been widely studied from a resistance point of view. However, there is a need of a non-destructive technique to validate strengthening interventions. In this paper, ... -
Statistical modeling and mix design optimization of fly ash based engineered geopolymer composite using response surface methodology
(2018-09-01)
Article
Open AccessFly ash-based geopolymer binders have been identified as one of the alternatives to the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), which qualify the criteria of green construction material. In the process of enhancement of the ... -
Mechanical properties of pre-stressed fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix composite (PFRCM)
(Elsevier, 2018-12-10)
Article
Open AccessFabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is a composite strengthening material used to strengthen masonry and concrete structures in a passive way due to the requirement of crack activation. Prestressing fabric is ...
