However, previous studies of behaviour of composite after repeated impacts mainly focused on laminated composites and experiments only.
The longitudinal shear failure mode determines the post-slip strength and behaviour of composite slabs.
The use of tow-steered composites to tailor the aeroelastic behaviour of composite wings is investigated.
The flexural behaviour under reloading unloading cycles and tension stiffening effects on the mechanical behaviour of composite girders were discussed.
Based on this spectra identification framework, the frequencies of sandwich and composite arches, for various boundary conditions are classified and presented.
In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors were used for monitoring the crack of two CFRP concrete composite arches in MTS loading and unloading test.
However, under transverse loading, the in-plane elastic buckling behaviour of CFST arches, particularly shallow CFST arches, is very different from that of CFST columns under axial compression.
This paper addresses the non-linear thermoelastic behaviour of steel arches acted on by a sustained uniformly distributed load, when subjected to elevated temperatures as caused by fire.
The capabilities of this technique are exemplified here by studying the effects of four different parameters on the structural behaviour of shallow arches, namely, mid span transverse loading, arch rise height, distribution of cross-sectional area along the span, and total volume of the arch.
In this paper a new Discrete Macro-Element Method (DMEM) for predicting the nonlinear structural behaviour of masonry arches is proposed.
