Behavior of corrugated fibre cement sheets subjected to suction loads

Dynamic Response of a Multilayer Corrugated Structure with History-dependent Properties Subjected to Transient Loads

Composite corrugatedor honeycomb-type multilayer structures are considered for the use as cushioning elements for protection against shocks and vibration. Numerical model for prediction of the dynamic response of such structures to obtain the cushioning response maps and shock response spectrum maps in order to select the optimum static stress is presented, and results of simulations are discus...

Buckling Behavior of Long Anisotropic Plates Subjected to Combined Loads

mechanical behavior of quasi-sinusoidal corrugated composite sheets

an aircraft wing needs to display different mechanical behavior in different directions. 1- stiffness in the spanwise (transverse to the corrugation) direction which enables the aerodynamic and inertial loads to be carried. 2- compliance in the chordwise (corrugation) direction which would allow shape changes and increases in surface area; whereas a corrugated sheet due to their special geometr...

Evaluation of Piled Raft Behavior based on the Taguchi Method subjected to Combination of Vertical and Horizontal Loads

The results of an ongoing FEM parametric study are presented regarding the dependence of the resulting piled raft behavior under lateral load and combination of loads on pile diameter, pile length, arrangement of piles and raft thickness. Taguchi method with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to calculate the contribution ratio of these factors on the lateral displacement of piled raft. ...

Composite Behavior of Insulated Concrete Sandwich Wall Panels Subjected to Wind Pressure and Suction

A full-scale experimental test was conducted to analyze the composite behavior of insulated concrete sandwich wall panels (ICSWPs) subjected to wind pressure and suction. The experimental program was composed of three groups of ICSWP specimens, each with a different type of insulation and number of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear grids. The degree of composite action of each specime...
