Abstract This work investigates the impact of infill pattern structure on crashworthy performance and deformation history 3D-printed tubes subjected to a quasi-static axial compression load. The proposed were made from polylactic acid (PLA) using 3D printing technique. Five structures adapted, i.e. circular, square, triangle, zigzag cross patterns with 50% density. analysis was carried out by a...

Brittle fracture is one of the principal disincentives to limit use ultrahigh-strength steels in tall buildings. This paper proposes a novel column-to-column connection without full penetration welding reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular composite columns. The describes an experimental investigation into flexural behavior proposed RCFST connection, which was manufactured using grades H-SA7...

The thermal model for transverse heat flow of having single filament in a unit cell is extended. In this model, we proposed that two circular filaments in a unit cell of square packing array and obtained the transverse thermal conductivity of an unidirectional material. I. Thermal Model Predicting equivalent thermal conductivity of transverse flow in unidirectional composite materials is of int...
