The paper presents a method to establish performance-based fibre design of high-strength micro steel fibres for ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). considers effects layout, orientation, and type loading (quasi-static cyclic) expands the current approach using experiences suitability testing results. is based on so-called utilization rate, which determined via pullout tests in UHPC under qu...

The risk of sustaining tibia fractures as a result of a frontal crash is commonly assessed by applying measurements taken from anthropometric test devices to the Tibia Index. The Tibia Index is an injury tolerance criterion for combined bending and axial loading experienced at the midshaft of the leg. However, the failure properties of human tibia compact bone have only been determined under st...

Selective laser sintering has been used to manufacture different structural variations of a pre-buckled circular honeycomb. The mechanical behaviour these structures examined under both quasi-static and dynamic impact loading. Pre-buckled honeycombs with aspect ratios e = 0.8 0.6 were compared traditional, straight-walled It found that the honeycomb can be tailored yield responses. Principally,...
