Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
This book presents the proceedings of the 14th International Probabilistic Workshop that was held in Ghent, Belgium in December 2016. Probabilistic methods are currently of crucial importance for research and developments in the field of engineering, which face challenges presented by new materials and technologies and rapidly changing societal needs and values. Contemporary needs related to, for example, performance-based design, service-life design, life-cycle analysis, product optimization, assessment of existing structures and structural robustness give rise to new developments as well as accurate and practically applicable probabilistic and statistical engineering methods to support these developments. These proceedings are a valuable resource for anyone interested in contemporary developments in the field of probabilistic engineering applications.

Elastomeric Polymers with High Rate Sensitivity
Author: Roshdy George S Barsoum
Publisher: William Andrew
ISBN: 0323354343
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
Recent investigations into blast-resistant properties of polyureas and other multi-phase polymeric elastomers indicate that they can dissipate broad bands of frequencies such as those encountered in blast events. In this unique book, Elastomeric Polymers with High Rate Sensitivity, Dr. Roshdy Barsoum and expert contributors bring together the cutting-edge testing methodologies, material properties, and critical design data for engineers seeking to deploy this technology. Where conventional methods of resisting blast, shockwave, and penetration are expensive, time-consuming and impractical, high-strain rate elastomeric polymers (HSREP) can be cheaper, quicker, and more easily applied to new and old materials alike. This book aids both military and civilian engineers in a range of applications, from buildings and tunnels to lightweight armor, ships, and aircraft. The book features constitutive models for software developers designing with these advanced polymers, as well as a discussion of the mechanisms of interaction between high-strain rate polymers and other materials. It also thoroughly covers HSREP engineering methods to achieve other unique properties, such as fireproofing. - Material properties and design data included to enable engineers to successfully deploy this technology - Cheaper, quicker, and more easily implemented than traditional methods of increasing blast and ballistic performance - A how-to guide to the engineering of high strain rate elastomeric polymers to achieve other useful properties, such as fireproofing

Long-term Performance of Epoxy-bonded Rebar-couplers
Author: Griffin Rupp Brungraber
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Concrete bridges
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Rebar-couplers that mechanically splice pairs of steel reinforcing bars, end-to-end are used regularly in reinforced concrete construction. Epoxy-bonded couplers are one available type, but have unique long-term performance considerations. The adhesive material used in these couplers is a two-part, field-mixed, ambient-cure epoxy system, originally designed for adhesive anchorage to concrete. Many of the adhesive systems used for anchorage to concrete, including the system used with adhesive-bonded couplers, are epoxy systems. The mechanical properties of these types of epoxies have been shown to degrade over time, in the presence of moisture. A variety of commercially available adhesive systems, for anchorage to concrete, were studied to assess their relative resistance to moisture-based degradation. The material properties of two of the adhesive systems, both epoxies, and the performance of the rebar-couplers were then measured over a fourteen-and-a-half-month period of exposure to a variety of environmental conditions, including water immersion at a range of temperatures. From these results, material degradation models were used to predict the properties of the adhesive over the service life of the rebar-coupler. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model was developed to simulate the tensile failure of the epoxy-bonded rebar-coupler system and correlate degrading adhesive material properties to changes in the coupler system's behavior throughout its service life.

Pages : 749
Book Description
Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems comprises 330 papers that were presented at the Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation (SEMC 2022, Cape Town, South Africa, 5-7 September 2022). The topics featured may be clustered into six broad categories that span the themes of mechanics, modelling and engineering design: (i) mechanics of materials (elasticity, plasticity, porous media, fracture, fatigue, damage, delamination, viscosity, creep, shrinkage, etc); (ii) mechanics of structures (dynamics, vibration, seismic response, soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, response to blast and impact, response to fire, structural stability, buckling, collapse behaviour); (iii) numerical modelling and experimental testing (numerical methods, simulation techniques, multi-scale modelling, computational modelling, laboratory testing, field testing, experimental measurements); (iv) design in traditional engineering materials (steel, concrete, steel-concrete composite, aluminium, masonry, timber); (v) innovative concepts, sustainable engineering and special structures (nanostructures, adaptive structures, smart structures, composite structures, glass structures, bio-inspired structures, shells, membranes, space structures, lightweight structures, etc); (vi) the engineering process and life-cycle considerations (conceptualisation, planning, analysis, design, optimization, construction, assembly, manufacture, maintenance, monitoring, assessment, repair, strengthening, retrofitting, decommissioning). Two versions of the papers are available: full papers of length 6 pages are included in an e-book, while short papers of length 2 pages, intended to be concise but self-contained summaries of the full papers, are in this printed book. This work will be of interest to civil, structural, mechanical, marine and aerospace engineers, as well as planners and architects.
