This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of SentryGlas-laminated reinforced glass beams. In these beams, which have been experimentally investigated in preceding research, a stainless steel reinforcement section is laminated at the inner recessed edge ...
Auxetic materials expand when stretched, and shrink when compressed. This is the result of a negative Poisson's ratio ν. Isotropic configurations with ν≈−1 have been designed and are expected to provide increased shear stiffness G. This assumes that Young' ...
An analytical investigation of the buckling/wrinkling behavior of GFRP webs in cell-core sandwiches subjected to combined in-plane shear and bending stresses is conducted. Web-core panels are modeled as long orthotropic plates stabilized by a relatively th ...
Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/nanostructured zirconia composites with a homogenous distribution of different MWCNT quantities (ranging within 0.5-5 wt.%) were developed. By using Spark Plasma Sintering we succeeded in preserving the MWCNTs firmly at ...
