Experimental and Analytical Investigations of Composite Stub Columns

Numerical and Experimental Investigations on the Behavior of Steel-reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Eccentric Loading

Steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) columns, which are classified as composite columns, became the most widely used in recent years; because of their extensive advantages over the reinforced concrete and the steel columns. In this paper, the ductility index and its influential factors were explored to investigate the behavior of SRC columns. A straightforward approach was then proposed by establish...

Analytical and Experimental Investigations on Influential Parameters of Superplastic Forming of Titanium Based Workpieces

Experimental investigation of octagonal partially encased composite columns subject to concentric and eccentric loading

Partially Encased Composite (PEC) column is one of the recent achievements in the field of composite columns. This paper presents a combined experimental and theoretical study on the mechanical performances of six octagonal PEC columns subjected to axial compressive and bending moment loading. The major different between them was the concrete reinforcement details. The parameters studied in the...

Experimental Investigations on Microstructural and Mechanical Behavior of Friction Stir Welded Aluminum Matrix Composite

The welding of materials by applying Friction Stir Welding technique is a new solid-state joining technique. The main advantage of this method compared to the traditional joining process is that it minimizes problem-related to metal resolidification as the method incorporates no melting phase. In this experimental work, the effect of friction stir welding (FSW) technique on the microstructu...

Analytical and experimental investigations of dual-plane particle image velocimetry

Jürgen Kompenhans, MEMBER SPIE Deutsche Forschungsanstalt für Luftund Raumfahrt Institut für Strömungsmechanik Center for Quantitative Visualisation BunsenstraXe 10 D-37073 Göttingen, Germany Abstract. In its classical form particle image velocimetry (PIV) extracts two components of the flow velocity vector by measuring the displacement of tracer particles within a double-pulsed laser light she...
