We have been developing a next-generation computational solid mechanics simulation system based on the ADVENTURE, which is designed to be able to analyze a three dimensional Finite Element (FE) model over hundreds of millions of Degrees Of Freedom (DOFs), to achieve the implementation of a virtual demonstration test on the Earth Simulator (ES). Main FE analysis process of the system, ADVENTURE_...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymers are playing a key role for future aircraft structure design concepts as the newest technical developments for aircraft models B787 and A350 are showing. Due to the specific mechanical properties of this composite material and the novel manufacturing and machining techniques for large-scale CFRP made aircraft structures, it is necessary to establish an adequate p...

Abstract Combination of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendon and concrete encased steel composite (RCESC) beam can improve the workability energy dissipation capacity members. In this paper, three RCESC beams with bars or CFRP were designed fabricated to study bond-slip behavior between I-shaped damage states interfaces beams. The lead zirconate titanate (PZT) patch as stress wave actu...

BACKGROUND Cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) can lead to flow impairment quantification using PET coronary flow reserve (CFRp: ratio of stress flow to rest flow) and is superior to the current standard, single-photon emission computed tomography. In this study, our first aim was to assess the benefit of CFRp in place of invasive CFR (CFRi) by comparing the correlations of each of the i...

cfrp composites have unique application qualities such as high resistance and durability to environmental conditions, having relatively low weight and easy to install in strengthening concrete structure elements. the brackets should be strengthen sufficiently if they are not calculated and implemented well. application of the cfrp is one of the methods for such purposes. the study involves usin...

The safety of civilian and military infrastructure is a concern due to an increase in explosive risks, which has led demand for high-strength civil with improved energy absorption capacity. In this study, Finite Element (FE) numerical model was developed determine the effect hybrid Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) as strengthening material on full-scale Concrete (RC) slabs. reinforcing materials ...

The design of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which is an extremely important device for firefighting on board of ships, covers not only in-service loadings, but also a proper selection of materials, manufacturing processes, as well as the specification of other construction details, such as hydrostatic test parameters, among others. The work developed and presented in this manuscr...

Strut-and-tie model (STM) method evolved as one of the most useful designs for shear critical structures and discontinuity regions (D-regions). It provides widespread applications in the design of deep beams as recommended by many codes. The estimation of bottle-shaped strut dimensions, as a main constituent of STM, is essential in design calculations. The application of carbon fibre reinforced...
