2. 1. Grain Size and Solid Solution Strengthening in Metals

   Author : Dilip Chandrasekaran; KTH; []
   Keywords : strengthening mechanisms; flow stress; solid solution strengthening; grain size strengthening; micromechanical modelling; AFM; EBSD;

   Abstract : The understanding of the strengthening mechanisms is crucialboth in the development of new materials with improvedmechanical properties and in the development of better materialmodels in the simulation of industrial processes. The aim ofthis work has been to study different strengthening mechanismsfrom a fundamental point of view that enables the developmentof a general model for the flow stress. READ MORE

4. 2. FRP shear strengthening of reinforced concrete beams

   Author : Gabriel Sas; Giorgio Monti; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fiber reinforced polymers; shear; reinforced concrete; strengthening; model; comparison; literature review; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : The shear failure mechanisms of flexural reinforced concrete (RC) members is highly complex; its precise details cannot be explained with simple analytical relationships, and are the topic of considerable scientific debate. The studies described and examined the three most used shear theories in the world – the fixed angle truss model (45°TM), the variable angle truss model (VAT), and modified compression field theory (MCFT).

6. 4. Strengthening of concrete structures with CFRP : shear strengthening and full scale applications

   Author : Anders Carolin; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Structures can be in need of strengtheing due to many reasons, which are presented in this thesis. A literature review gives the existing methods for enhancing a structures load bearing capacity. In this thesis focus will be set at external bonding with carbon fibre reinforced polymers. READ MORE

7. 5. Strengthening steel beams with adhesively bonded composite laminates

   Author : Dag Linghoff; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFRP laminate; adhesive bond; interfacial stresses.; Strengthening;

   Abstract : Strengthening steel structures with carbon-fibre-reinforced-polymer (CFRP) laminates bonded to the steel substrate has become an interesting alternative to the conventional strengthening methods. The current research comprises analyses of the global and local behaviour of double-symmetrical steel beams strengthened with CFRP laminate bonded with adhesive to the tension flange. READ MORE
