Embedded discontinuities for softening solids
(Proceedings of the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Computational Mechanics (APCOM '99)Proceedings of the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Computational Mechanics (APCOM '99), 1999-12-06)
Additional, discontinuous functions are added to the displacement field of standard finite elements in order to capture highly localised zones of intense straining. By embedding discontinuities within an element it is ...
Design of Sandwich Structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 1999-05)
Failure modes for sandwich beams of GFRP laminate skins and Nomex honeycomb core are investigated. Theoretical models using honeycomb mechanics and classical beam theory are described. A failure mode map for loading under ...
Application of continuum laws in discontinuity analysis based on a regularised displacement jump
(Proceedings of the European Conference on Computational Mechanics ECCM '99Proceedings of the European Conference on Computational Mechanics ECCM '99, 1999)
The application of continuum constitutive laws in embedded strong discontinuity analysis is examined. By adopting a regularised discontinuity (approximating the unbounded strain field resulting from a displacement jump ...
Transfer bond stresses generated between FRP tendons and concrete
(Institute of Civil EngineersMagazine of Concrete Research, 1999)
There is a growing interest in the use of new materials in construction. Materials such as fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are lightweight, strong, and, for the most part, non-corrodible. Hence, the use of FRPs as ...
