Abstract The strain rate-dependent material characteristic of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is widely known and has been investigated in detail at coupon level. In this study, for the first time rate dependent a three-dimensional CFRP structure was investigated. evolution determined dependency correlated with results For purpose two special 3-point-bending fixtures were developed to o...

The goal of this study was to develop a finite element (FE) lower limb model that can be used for direct and accurate injury prediction. Threedimensional geometry of the lower limb bones and knee ligaments was determined from MRI scans of a human volunteer for an accurate geometry reconstruction. In order to address various loading conditions in car-pedestrian accidents, the dynamic response of...

• Bending-shear interaction of stainless steel lipped channels was investigated. FE models were developed for shear, bending, and behaviours. Sections with aspect ratios 1.5 2.0 behave under bending-shear interaction. Codified provisions are too conservative a higher level applied shear force. Proposed equations provide accurate consistent predictions. The response cold-formed channel sections ...

We present an effective-medium theory that includes bending as well as stretching forces, and we use it to calculate the mechanical response of a diluted filamentous triangular lattice. In this lattice, bonds are central-force springs, and there are bending forces between neighboring bonds on the same filament. We investigate the diluted lattice in which each bond is present with a probability ...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationships among three flexural strengths of recent dental ceramics using 3-point and 4-point bending tests and biaxial flexural test. Three brands of porcelain for veneering (d.SIGN, Supper porcelain AAA, Vintage Hallo), two injectable ceramics (Empress 2, OPC 3G), and one castable ceramic (Crys-Cera) were used. Twenty bar-shaped and 10 d...
