Large displacement FEM modelling of the cone penetration test (CPT) in normally consolidated sand
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-06)
A new finite element model based on a large strain formulation has been developed to study cone penetration in normally consolidated sand. An auto-adaptive remeshing technique was utilized for handling the very large ...
Effect of fiber inclination on crack bridging stress in brittle fiber reinforced brittle matrix composites
(Elsevier, 1992-08)
behavior of brittle matrix composites is strongly affected by the bridging of cracks by fibers. In random fiber composites, fibers can lie at an angle to the crack plane. Under such conditions, the bridging stress for a ...
Substituent effects on the oxidation of substituted biphenyl congeners by type II methanotroph strain CSC1
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-05)
The oxidation potential of type II groundwater methanotroph, strain CSC1, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, was measured in the presence of 10 ortho -substituted biphenyls with varying electronics, sterics, and ...
Tailoring engineered cementitious composites for impact resistance
(Elsevier, 2012)
This paper presents results of deliberate tailoring of engineered cementitious composites (ECC) for impact resistance. Microstructure control involving fiber, matrix and fiber/matrix interface was based on steady-state ...
Mechanism for tensile strain hardening in high performance cement-based fiber reinforced composites
(Elsevier, 1991)
The mechanism responsible for the improvement in tensile strain capacity of FRC (fiber reinforced concrete) as a result of the addition of high volume fraction of discontinuous fibers was investigated, using energy changes ...
