Standard Test Methods (e.g. ASTM, DIN) for materials characterization in general, and for fatigue in particular, do not contemplate specimens with complex geometries, as well as the combination of axial and in-plane bending ...

Standard Test Methods (e.g. ASTM, DIN) for materials characterization in general, and for fatigue in particular, do not contemplate specimens with complex geometries, as well as the combination of axial and in-plane bending ...

: ACI 318 and the fib Model Code 2010 prescribe recommendations for the design of steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC) using performance measured with a four-point bending test (4PBT) per the ASTM C1609 US standard and ...

It is well known that fatigue behaviour is an important parameter to be considered in mechanical components subjected to constant and variable amplitude loadings. In combination with corrosion phenomenon, fatigue effects ...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) have been gaining prominence in replacing metallic alloys for infrastructure in prostheses, with the possibility of edentulous patients to acquire fixed prostheses. For this, procedures ...

This papers presents results on the variation of the PMD coefficient of optical links under influence of mechanical tests, such as tensile strength, bending and compression, and also during the application of a thermal ...

The society’s development provides consequences such as the increasing generation of industrial waste. In the city of Franca, São Paulo’s inland city, there are footwear industries that generate a large amount of leather ...

Bending fatigue tests were carried out to clarify the effects of heat treatment parameters: temperature and time after cadmium electroplating on a high strength steel, to avoid hydrogen embrittlement. Temperatures heat of ...
