Three‐dimensional modelling of bond behaviour between concrete and FRP reinforcement

Valentina Salomoni, Gianluca Mazzucco, Carlo Pellegrino, Carmelo Majorana

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the bond behaviour between fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets and concrete elements, starting from available experimental evidences…

Finite element analysis of delamination of a composite component with the cohesive zone model technique

Luca Lampani

The purpose of this paper is to assess a numerical tool to simulate and predict the onset and the propagation of the delaminations in a composite structure.

Analysis of a gravity dam considering the influence of couple‐stresses

Jun Liu, Ming Huan

Traditional continuum theory is usually applied in analysis of a gravity dam and its foundation; as we all know, both analytic and numerical solution of traditional theory imply…

Computer simulation of two‐dimensional linear‐shaped charge jet using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Yang Gang, Han Xu, Hu De'an

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the formation process of linear‐shaped charge jet using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Different material yield models are…

A simple estimator for stress errors dedicated to large elastic finite element simulations: Locally reinforced stress construction

Eric Florentin, Stéphane Guinard, Philippe Pasquet

This paper aims to deal with the verification of local quantities of interest obtained through linear elastic finite element analysis. A technique is presented for determining the…

Modelling and optimisation study on the fabrication of nano‐structures using imprint forming process

Stoyan Stoyanov, Tim Tilford, Farid Amalou, Scott Cargill, Chris Bailey, Marc Desmulliez

Nano‐imprint forming (NIF) is a manufacturing technology capable of achieving high resolution, low‐cost and high‐throughput fabrication of fine nano‐scale structures and patterns…
