In this paper, the advances of finite element methods and analyses for FRP reinforced and strengthened concrete beams in last two decades are reviewed to present a state of the art of the research of numerical analysis and modelling of FRP composite concrete beams. Future research on finite element analysis of FRP composite beams is also presented.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are finding its increased applications in variety of engineering applications such as aerospace, automobile, electronics and other industries. However, the users of FRP are facing difficulties to machine it, because of fiber delamination, fiber pull out, short tool life, matrix debonding and formation of powder like chips. The present investigation focu...

Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) matrix composites are widely used in airframe structural components. Although composites offer good and useful structural properties, they are brittle. Indeed, the commonly employed thermosetting epoxy matrices typically have a poor resistance to crack initiation and growth. Therefore, efforts have been made to improve the mechanical properties of the epoxy polyme...

The present study makes a consistent attempt to evaluate promising additive manufacturing (AM) processes and materials for marine structural applications, paving the way development of additively manufactured light-weight composites. main objective is analyse performances fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) produced by AM applications. In particular, tensile response chopped continuous carbon-fibre...

Abstract Fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) composite materials for ships that are widely used marine-grade unsaturated polyester resin matrix and combimat fiber, a combination of chopped strand mat (CSM) woven roving (WR) fibers. Although less popular than marine CSM–WR, biaxial warp-knitted glass fabrics have the potential to be applied as fiber laminates ship hull materials. A comparative ...

To investigate the action of motilin on the sphincter of Oddi, the flow rate of the perfusate (FRP) discharged into the duodenal lumen through the orifice of the common bile duct was measured by means of an electric drop counter in decerebrated dogs. Motilin in doses above 0.5 micrograms/kg i.v. reduced or stopped the FRP. The fifty percent recovery time of FRP was 20 min and full recovery time...

In previous work we presented Functional Reactive Programming (FRP), a general framework for designing hybrid systems and developing domain-specific languages for related domains. FRP’s synchronous dataflow features, like event driven switching, supported by higherorder lazy functional abstractions of Haskell allows rapid development of modular and reusable specifications. In this paper, we wil...
