: 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 ...

The bi-layer system has been well developed for many engineering structural components in the aircraft, automotive, microelectronics and modern space industries in the last few decades. Consequently, a good determination ...

Laser forming of thin metal sheet plates using a low output power CO2 laser has been successfully performed using a mirror based scanning system. Graphite coated AISI 302 stainless steel plates, 0.3 mm thick, have been ...

In this work, a boundary element formulation to analyse plates reinforced by rectangular beams, with columns defined in the domain is proposed. The model is based on Kirchhoff hypothesis and the beams are not required to ...

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 ...

To probe the interface of silicon sol–gel bonded wafers we developed in–situ micromechanical bending test coupled with optical microscopy. The silicon wafers were bonded together at room temperature using sol–gel ...
