Numerical Simulation of Bending Test of Steel-Fiber Reinforced Mortar.

Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

A simplified numerical simulation method of bending properties for glass fiber cloth reinforced denture base resin.

The purpose of this study was to propose a new numerical modeling of the glass fiber cloth reinforced denture base resin (GFRP). The proposed model is constructed with an isotropic shell, beam and orthotropic shell elements representing the outmost resin, interlaminar resin and glass fiber cloth, respectively. The proposed model was applied to the failure progress analysis under three-point ben...

Experimental Study of Cement Mortar-Steel Fiber Reinforced Rammed Earth Wall

Rammed earth construction is an ancient technique which has recently attracted renewed interest throughout the world. Although rammed earth is currently regarded as a promising material in the construction industry in the context of sustainable development, it is difficult to quantify its bearing capacity, mechanical performance, as well as retrofitting approach, which discourages people from l...

Numerical Simulation of a Fiber Laser Bending Sensitivity

Numerical simulation analysis of fiber optic bending sensitivity aiming to improve fiber lasers design is developed, analyzing both the transition loss, associated with abrupt curvature change at the beginning and the end of a bend, and pure bending loss associated with the loss from the constant curvature bending in between.

Analytical and numerical modeling of erosive projectiles into steel fiber reinforced concrete target

In this paper, modeling of high speed projectiles with different nose shapes, penetrating into steel fiber reinforced concrete is investigated. This is a novel study because it considers the length to diameter ratio of steel fiber as well as projectile length to diameter ratio and volume fraction of fiber used in concrete matrix on the impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete fibers...
