in order to investigate the flexural behaviors of rc beams after freeze-thaw cycles, compressive strength test of concrete cubes after 0, 50, 100, 125 freeze-thaw cycles were made, and static flexural experiment of 48 rc beams after 0, 50, 100, 125 freeze-thaw cycles were made. the relationships of relative compressive strength, mass loss rate, relative dynamic elastic modulus and numbers of fr...

In this paper, the flexural behavior of High-performance Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) has been investigated, especially focusing on the localization of cracks, which significantly governs the flexural behavior of HPFRCC members. From four points bending tests with HPFRCC members, it was observed that almost evenly distributed cracks formed gradually, followed by a localized ...

In this paper, the free vibration behaviors and flexural sensitivity of atomic force microscope cantilevers with small-scale effects are investigated. To study the small-scale effects on natural frequencies and flexural sensitivity, the consistent couple stress theory is applied. In this theory, the couple stress is assumed skew-symmetric. Unlike the classical beam theory, the new model contain...

To investigate the influence of carbon fiber (CF) surface treatment on the flexural strength and tribological properties of the short-cut CF/polyimide (PI) composites, pitch-based short-cut CF were treated by rare earth. The CF before and after treatment was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The flexural strength of the specimens was d...

OBJECTIVES The flexural strengths of veneering ceramics for zirconia were compared. METHODS With 10 different veneering ceramics for zirconia (test group) and three different veneering ceramics for the metal-ceramic technique (control group) three-point flexural strength and biaxial flexural strength according to ISO 6872: 1995 as well as four-point flexural strength according to EN 843-1: 20...

abstract statement of problem: mechanical strength and durability of dental composites are the main topics studied in this field of science today. this study examined fumed silica-based composite as a strong and durable restorative material through flexural and cycling test methods.     objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of silanization, ageing, cycling and hybridi...
