Abstract:

In this paper, a compression-to-tensile load converter device is developed to determine the anisotropic tensile strength of brittle material. A cubic sample with an internal pore was used as the test specimen, and a series of finite element analysis and DDM simulations were performed thereafter to analyse the effect of pore dimensions on the stress concentration, as well as to render a suitable criterion for determining the anisotropic tensile strength of concrete. The results obtained by this device show that the tensile strength of concrete is similar in different directions because of the homogeneity of bonding between the materials.

Interferometric Method to Determine the Birefringence for an Anisotropic Material

A simple interferometric technique was used for measuring the absolute birefringence of an anisotropic material. The sample has constant thickness. It was placed between crossed polarizers and illuminated with a parallel beam of monochromatic light. The resulting interferograms were analyzed to deduce the birefringence and its dispersion across the visible spectrum. A Cauchy formula was applied...

On Applicability of Some Indirect Tests for Estimation of Tensile Strength of Anisotropic Rocks

The tensile strength of rocks plays a noteworthy role in their failure mechanism, and its determination can be beneficial in optimizing the design of the rock structures. Schistose rocks due to their inherent anisotropy in different foliation directions show a diverse strength at each direction. The purpose of this work was to compare and assess the tensile strength of phyllite, which was obtai...

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

Experimental and FDM study on the effect of geogrid tensile strength on pullout resistance

This paper presents the effect of geogrid tensile strength by calculating pullout resistance and geogrid-soil interaction mechanism. In order to investigate this interface, a series of pullout tests have been conducted by large scale reformed direct shear test apparatus in both cohesive and granular soils. In numerical, finite difference software FLAC3D has been carried out on experimental test...

Simulation of the Tensile Modulus and the Tensile Strength of Short Fibre Reinforced Polymers (SFRP)

This paper presents the simulation of the tensile modulus and the tensile strength of shor t glass fibre reinforced Polypropylene. Various formulae of the shear-lag theory were implemented in an analytical calculation program to evaluate the tensile strength values. Based on the homogenization approach the modulus values and the strength values, applying an existing failure criterion, were calc...

Anisotropic constitutive equations and experimental tensile behavior of brain tissue.

The present study deals with the experimental analysis and mechanical modeling of tensile behavior of brain soft tissue. A transversely isotropic hyperelastic model recently proposed by Meaney (2003) is adopted and mathematically studied under uniaxial loading conditions. Material parameter estimates are obtained through tensile tests on porcine brain materials accounting for regional and direc...
