2. 11. The modified Iosipescu shear test for orthotropic materials

   Author : Niklas Melin; Jonas Neumeister; Gradin Per; KTH; []
   Keywords : composite; modified Iosipescu tet; shear test; strain field uniformity; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : AbstractThe Iosipescu shear test, also known as asymmetric four point bending of a V-notched beam,is frequently used for measuring in-plane shear properties of composites. The ASTM standard(ASTM D-5379-05) regulates how the test is to be performed. READ MORE

4. 12. Flexural Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Externally Bonded CFRP--An Innovative Method for the Application of Prestressed CFRP Laminates

   Author : Jincheng Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; interfacial stress; anchorage; mesh sensitivity; externally bonded; reinforced concrete; flexural strengthening; optimization; smeared length; finite element modeling; carbon fiber reinforced polymer CFRP ; stepwise prestressing; debonding;

   Abstract : A large number of existing bridges in European countries are structurally deficient and functionally obsolete due to the deterioration of aging bridges and the lack of structural and geometric capacity to accommodate the increasing traffic volume and load levels. To meet the demand for holistic and effective strengthening techniques the SUREBRIDGE solution is proposed for the refurbishment of concrete bridges, which includes the technique of using prestressed carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate as externally bonded reinforcement for flexural strengthening.

5. 13. Characterization of elastic moduli of single fibres

   Author : Shanghong Duan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AFM; Nanoindentation; Shear modulus; Transverse modulus; Carbon fibre;

   Abstract : The carbon fibre is one of most promising materials for high-performance composites since it is lightweight and strong. It has been widely used to build carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. The carbon fibre dramatically reinforces the composite in the fibre direction. READ MORE

6. 14. Strengthening reinforced concrete structures with FRP composites

   Author : Jincheng Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; GFRP; finite element analysis.; corrosion; interfacial stress; externally bonded reinforcement; self-anchorage; CFRP; debonding; concrete structures; Fibre reinforced polymer; prestressing level;

   Abstract : Civil infrastructures made of reinforced concrete (RC) play an important role in the economic activities and services of society. However, signs of deterioration and functional deficiency are commonly found in existing RC structures. Thus, there is a great demand for upgrading the capacity and performance of existing concrete structures. READ MORE

7. 15. Nanocomposites for Use in Sliding Electrical Contacts

   Author : Benny André; Urban Wiklund; Staffan Jacobson; Kenneth Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tribology; materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

   Abstract : In this thesis nanocomposite materials for use in high performance electrical contacts are tested. Self mating silver as coatings on cupper substrates are the most used material combination in power connectors today. In this work two new concepts were tested. READ MORE
