Analytical and numerical investigation of interfacial stresses of FRP–concrete hybrid structure

This paper presents a study on interfacial stresses of a concrete column confined by fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) plate, which has been widely applied in the civil engineering for rehabilitation and retrofitting of conventional structures. It is assumed that both the FRP plate and concrete structures are elastic and the interface between them is perfectly bonded. An analytical model for analy...

Interfacial friction of thin 3He slabs in the Knudsen limit.

A high precision torsional oscillator has been used to study 3He films of thickness from 100 to 350 nm, in the temperature range 5<T<200 mK. This thickness is much smaller than the viscous penetration depth, and also much smaller than the low temperature inelastic mean-free path of 3He quasiparticles. Such films are observed to decouple from the motion of the oscillator below 60 mK. We interpre...

Normal and Parallel Permeability of Preform Composite Materials used in Liquid Molding Processes: Analytical Solution

The permeability of the preform composite materials used in liquid molding processes such as resin transfer molding and structural reaction injection molding is a complex function of weave pattern and packing characteristics. The development of tools for predicting permeability as a function of these parameters is of great industrial importance. Such capability would speed process design and op...

Analytical Solution of Stress Field in Adhesively Bonded Composite Single-Lap Joints Under Mechanical Loadings

In this paper, considering an adhesively bonded composite single-lap joint, a novel approach is presented to predict the peel and shear stress distributions of the adhesive layer for an ASTM standard test sample. In current method, the equilibrium equations are derived using the energy method and based on the Timoshenko’s beam theory. Two solution procedures then are discussed, one of which rep...
