Abstract: A plasticity model using a strain‐rate formulation is presented to describe the uniaxial response of concrete when subjected to combined thermal and mechanical actions. The total strain rate is resolved into three individual ...

Abstract: This paper presents an incremental approach based on the theories of continuum damage and anisotropic plasticity to model the forces that develop during timber cutting. The model used is based on the thermodynamics of ...

Abstract: Although it is well known that moisture ingress in glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) enhances the phenomenon of stress corrosion cracking in the fibers, and that this reaction is likely to proceed more rapidly at the ...

Abstract: Bond behavior is an important subject in the design and performance of reinforced concrete structures. In this research, the bond property between sand-coated glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars, a corrosion-resistant ...
