Abstract: A piecewise linear parametric uniaxial stress-strain approach has been used to obtain the closed form nonlinear moment curvature response on the basis of strain compatibility in bending for epoxy resin materials. The ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of epoxy resin Epon E 863 has been studied in tension, compression, and flexure. The epoxy resins have been tested at different strain rates ranging from

Abstract: A piecewise-linear parametric uniaxial stress-strain approach has been used to obtain the nonlinear moment curvature response based on strain compatibility in bending for epoxy resin materials. It has been shown that the ...

Abstract: Deep learning is a state-of-the-art approach to pixel-level crack detection. However, it relies on a large number of source–target image pairs for the training, which is very expensive. This paper proposes a self-supervised ...

Abstract: Soils containing rich soluble salts are widely available. Their behaviors as pavement subgrade depend on the types and compositions of the salts, local climate, and hydrogeological conditions. In this study, various amounts ...

Abstract: For hybrid finite elements based, for example, on complementary energy functional, polynomial trial functions of stress fields are required. Systematic schemes are given for the 2D and 3D ...

Abstract: The good DC magnetic properties can be achieved for 1J50 soft magnetic alloy by applying high temperature hydrogen annealing. Annealing process parameters, e.g., atmosphere, soaking temperature, and time, are critical to ...
