Abstract: Based on the laminated anisotropic plate theory, an analytical model is proposed to determine the stress and strain distributions of adhesive-bonded composite single-lap joints under tension. The ...

Abstract: While significant studies have been conducted on composites containing a circular or an elliptic hole under tensile loading, few investigations have been reported on notched composites under ...

Abstract: A model of a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint under cylindrical bending has been derived using first-order laminated plate theory. Shear correction factors were used to account for transverse ...

Abstract: An analytical model of the strain and stress distributions in a taper-taper adhesive-bonded joint between two composite flat plates has been developed using first-order laminated plate theory. A ...

Abstract: The distresses of asphalt pavement, which include fatigue, rutting, and low temperature cracking, are related to the elastic modulus of asphalt concrete (AC). In addition, the elastic modulus of AC is a design variable for ...

Abstract: Over the years, there has been mounting interest in the use of recycled tire rubbers in highway construction. Tire rubber-filled concrete, a rubberized Portland cement concrete with a portion of aggregates replaced by tire ...
