2. 1. 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).

4. 2. Carbon-graphite fiber-reinforced polymers for implant suprastructures

   Author : Susanna Segerström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Implant prostheses; Matrix; MMA; PMMA nanoparticles; Copolymer; Surface treatment; Size; Adhesion; SEM; Mechanical properties; Physicochemical properties.;

   Abstract : Carbon-graphite fiber-reinforced polymers (CGFR) can be used as the core material for implant-retained prostheses as an alternative to metal frameworks. The purpose was to formulate and develop carbon-graphite fiber-reinforced polymers intended for implant suprastructures and to determine physicochemical, mechanical properties and possible cytotoxic effects.

5. 3. Fibre reinforced polymers in civil engineering : flexural strengthening of concrete structures with prestressed near surface mounted CFRP rods

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

   Abstract : Repair and/or upgrading of concrete structures with bonded steel or FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers) materials or by use of external tendons have been used for some time. In most cases the bonded on FRP materials are unstressed. READ MORE

6. 4. Influence of microstructure on debonding at the fiber/matrix interface in fiber-reinforced polymers under tensile loading

   Author : Luca Di Stasio; Janis Varna; Zoubir Ayadi; Alberto Barroso; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fiber matrix interface; Debonding; Polymer-Matrix Composites PMC ; Finite Element Method FEM ; Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics LEFM ; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

   Abstract : At the end of the second decade of the XXI century, the transportation industry at large faces several challenges that will shape its evolution in the next decade and beyond. The first such challenge is the increasing public awareness and governmental action on climate change, which are increasing the pressure on the industrial sectors responsible for the greatest share of emissions, the transportation industry being one of them, to reduce their environmental footprint.

   Abstract : Our society depends on functional road communication, and Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDVs) offer convenient and limitless possibilities of transport and services. However, HDVs account for a quarter of the European Union's CO2 road emissions. There is a substantial need to reduce the CO2 emissions of HDVs to ensure a low negative environmental impact. READ MORE
