Adhesive Anchors

Currently, the determination of the shear capacity VRk,s0 of post installed adhesive anchors is already included in the current standardization and approval documents. Considering that EAD 330499-00-0601 allows for determining the shear resistance of a fastener only based on the characteristic steel ultimate tensile strength fuk determined from the material tensile tests, and without considering the actual ductility of the material used, this leads to a severe underestimation of the actual steel shear resistance. In order to efficiently determine the shear strength by calculation based on material characteristics, tensile and shear tests were carried out on metallic threaded rods and rebars to show their correlation with the material properties. A new correlation between tensile and shear strength is presented, which is based on the plasticity module Epl and allows a good prognosis of the shear strength.

Accurate determination of piezoelectric properties such as piezoelectric charge coefficients (d33) is an essential step in the design process of sensors and actuators using piezoelectric effect. In this study, a cost-effective and accurate method based on dynamic loading technique was proposed to determine the piezoelectric charge coefficient d33. Finite element analysis (FEA) model was developed in order to estimate d33 and validate the obtained values with experimental results. The experiment was conducted on a piezoelectric disc with a known d33 value. The effect of measuring boundary conditions, substrate material properties and specimen geometry on measured d33 value were conducted. The experimental results reveal that the determined d33 coefficient by this technique is accurate as it falls within the manufactures tolerance specifications of PZT-5A piezoelectric film d33. Further, obtained simulation results on fibre reinforced and particle reinforced piezoelectric composite were found to be similar to those that have been obtained using more advanced techniques. FE-results showed that the measured d33 coefficients depend on measuring boundary condition, piezoelectric film thickness, and substrate material properties. This method was proved to be suitable for determination of d33 coefficient effectively for piezoelectric samples of any arbitrary geometry without compromising on the accuracy of measured d33.

AbstractIn this study a modeling approach for short fiber-reinforced composites is presented which allows one to consider information from the microstructure of the compound while modeling on the component level. The proposed technique is based on the determination of correlation functions by the moving window method. Using these correlation functions random fields are generated by the Karhunen–Loève expansion. Linear elastic numerical simulations are conducted on the mesoscale and component level based on the probabilistic characteristics of the microstructure derived from a two-dimensional micrograph. The experimental validation by nanoindentation on the mesoscale shows good conformity with the numerical simulations. For the numerical modeling on the component level the comparison of experimentally obtained Young’s modulus by tensile tests with numerical simulations indicate that the presented approach requires three-dimensional information of the probabilistic characteristics of the microstructure. Using this information not only the overall material properties are approximated sufficiently, but also the local distribution of the material properties shows the same trend as the results of conducted tensile tests.

The paper deals with an examination of the behaviour of glued Ti-Al column under compression at elevated temperature. The tests of compressed columns with initial load were performed at different temperatures to obtain their characteristics and the load-carrying capacity. The deformations of columns during tests were registered by employing non-contact Digital Image Correlation Aramis® System. The numerical computations based on finite element method by using two different discrete models were carried out to validate the empirical results. To solve the problems, true stress-logarithmic strain curves of one-directional tensile tests dependent on temperature both for considered metals and glue were implemented to software. Numerical estimations based on Green–Lagrange equations for large deflections and strains were conducted. The paper reveals the influence of temperature on the behaviour of compressed C-profile Ti-Al columns. It was verified how the load-carrying capacity of glued bi-metal column decreases with an increase in the temperature increment. The achieved maximum loads at temperature 200 °C dropped by 2.5 times related to maximum loads at ambient temperature.

Flexure Test

The aim of this work is to compare from an experimental point of view the determination of in-plane shear strength of unidirectional composite materials by means of two off-axis tests: three-point flexure and tensile. In the case of the off-axis three-point flexure test, the condition of small displacements and the condition of lift-off between the specimen and the fixture supports have been taken into account. Some considerations regarding stress and displacement fields are presented. The in-plane shear characterization has been performed on a carbon fiber reinforced unidirectional laminate with several fiber orientation angles: 10°, 20°, 30°, and 45°. Test conditions for both off-axis experimental methods, in order to ensure their applicability, are presented. Off-axis flexure test is considered more suitable than off-axis tensile test for the determination of in-plane shear strength.
