Abstract: A constitutive model for steel fiber reinforced (SFR) concrete is proposed, in which the tensile behavior incorporates a bilinear strain softening feature. Composite material properties (

Abstract: In this paper, a truss-core sandwich panel is introduced and its elastic properties are presented. Two thin flat sheets, separated by two inclined plates acting as the core and rigidly jointed at their ends, characterize ...

Abstract: The computational effort to analyze a sandwich panel can be greatly reduced if an equivalent 2D thick‐plate bending model is used instead of a detailed 3D finite‐element model. The success of the transformation from a ...
