Abstract: The damage concept has been developed in terms of strain range in order to give a unified approach to high temperature failure. Interactive tests have been carried out on OFHC copper at ...

Abstract: A series of warm and cold heading tests ranging from room temperature to 400 deg C have been conducted on 305 and copper bearing 302 stainless steel wires as well as 0.2 percent C steel ...

Abstract: This work provides information leading to the evaluation of the coefficient of friction for various lubricants during the first blow of a double blow heading operation on AISI 1018 steel wire. ...

Abstract: A study was carried out on the contact pressure and shear stress at the interface of a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rod in contact with aluminum alloy or copper sleeves of different hardness. The main objective ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study that was conducted on the sliding behavior of a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer rod in contact with copper or aluminum sleeves simulating the components of a wedge anchor system. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental and numerical study to examine the mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer rods gripped by a wedge anchor, comprised of an aluminum sleeve, four stainless ...

Abstract: An innovative wedge-anchor system with a longitudinal circular profile has been designed for gripping carbon-fiber-reinforced-polymer rods. The anchor system, consisting of a barrel, a number of wedges, and a sleeve, is ...

Abstract: The increased use of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods in prestressed concrete applications has been challenged by identifying a suitable anchor system. To overcome such a challenge, the design of a simplified ...

Abstract: Plasticine, Commercially Pure Lead and 6061T6 Aluminum have been used as model materials to simulate some of the forming processes that can arise during a first blow axisymmetric heading operation ...
