The effects of these parameters on the failure mode, the ultimate conditions, the energy dissipation capacity and the stress strain relationship of the CFRP-confined specimens were analyzed.
It was then applied to carry out parametric studies to investigate the influence of geometric dimensions (e.g., the depth and the thickness of the cross-section and the span) on the failure mode, the ultimate moment resistance and the PPMR of sigma beams at internal supports.
From these tests, structural behaviours of purlin, i.e. the flexural stiffness, failure modes and the ultimate load, were examined, respectively.
This paper discusses the physical meanings of the Rankine approach and the effect of coupling interaction (termed "shear bond" for consistency with our earlier publications) between the collapse modes on the ultimate failure load.
In these tests the mechanical responses of the GFRP material as a function of temperature were assessed, namely the load deflection curves, the stiffness, the failure modes and the ultimate strength.
In this work, the influence of initial geometric imperfection modes on the ultimate strength of a ship's hull is studied, with a focus on the buckling behavior of stiffened panels that initiates the structural hull failure.
From the results obtained, it can be concluded that these parameters significantly affect both the buckling failure modes and the ultimate load-carrying capacity of tapered I-section columns.
This paper details the observed failure modes, the recorded ultimate strengths and the load-deflection responses.
When the strain rate increases overwhelmingly over that of mode III, the ultimate stress of bone stays about the same as in mode III but the ultimate stress of the ligament increases over that of mode III.
The model validated by comparison with experimental results predicts well the failure mode and the ultimate load of the isolated web-posts.
