The paper presents experimental results of the strain state evolution of the steel I-beam reinforced with composite material under four-point bending loading. Digital image correlation technique was used to trace the evolution of plastic strain zones distribution. The images of longitudinal relative strain on the lateral surface of the reinforced I-beam web were obtained and analyzed. It was found that the increase of load-bearing capacity of the reinforced beams can exceed 26 %.

The paper deals with analysis of structural lightweight concrete. New lightweight concrete mixture made with expanded clay aggregate has been proposed and applied for experimental rein-forced concrete beams. Totally 8 beams with different rein-forcement ratios (0.309%, 0.557%, 0.895% and 1.255%) were tested under short-term four point bending loading. Stress-strain behavior of the beams under considerations has been investigated. Average strains at 4 different levels of pure bend-ing zone and vertical displacements at 12 different points of the beam were measured. During the test, deformations and crack-ing of the pure bending zone were additionally observed using high-speed digital video cameras. The data obtained by cameras were analyzed using digital image correlation technique. Applying the test data bending moments and curvature diagrams were derived for each beam. The obtained relationships were compared with theoretical results calculated using design code methods LST EN and STR. Using the inverse algorithm developed by VGTU, tension reinforced lightweight concrete stress and strain diagrams were obtained, which were adapted to numerical modeling by software ATENA. Moment and curvature diagrams obtained by finite elements program were compared with experimental moment and curvature diagrams. Good agreement between both diagrams has been obtained. Straipsnyje aprašytas naujai sukurtas konstrukcinis lengvasis betonas ir jo panaudojimas eksperimentinių armuotojo lengvojo betono sijų gamybai. Atlikti trumpalaike apkrova veikiamų plieniniais strypais armuotų lengvojo betono sijų eksperimentiniai tyrimai, kuriuose nagrinėtas sijų įtempių ir deformacijų būvis. Laboratorijoje išbandyti 8 lenkiamieji elementai, kurių armavimo procentai: 0,309 %, 0,557 %, 0,895 % ir 1,255 %. Tyrimų metu matuotos vidutinės elemento deformacijos grynojo lenkimo zonoje 4 skirtinguose lygmenyse bei sijų poslinkiai ties atramomis, jėgos pridėjimo vietose ir viduriniame pjūvyje (iš viso 12 matavimo taškų). Bandymo metu grynojo lenkimo zonos deformacijos bei pleišėjimas papildomai stebėti greitaeige vaizdo kamera. Gauti rezultatai panaudoti sudarant eksperimentines lenkimo momentų ir kreivių diagramas, kurios palygintos su teoriškai apskaičiuotomis taikant Lietuvoje galiojančių LST EN ir STR projektavimo normų metodikas. Taikant VGTU sukurtą atvirkštinio uždavinio algoritmą, gautos tempiamo armuotojo lengvojo betono įtempių ir deformacijų diagramos, kurios pritaikytos atliekant skaitinį modeliavimą baigtinių elementų programa ATENA. Gautos momentų ir kreivių diagramos baigtinių elementų programa palygintos su eksperimentų metu gautomis momentų ir kreivių diagramomis. Gautas geras šių diagramų sutapimas.

The fatigue damage behavior of bone has attracted significant attention in both the mechanical and orthopedic fields. However, due to the complex and hierarchical structure of bone, describing the damage process quantitively or qualitatively is still a significant challenge for researchers in this area. In this study, a nonlinear bi-modulus gradient model was proposed to quantify the neutral axis skewing under fatigue load in a four-point bending test. The digital image correlation technique was used to analyze the tensile and compressive strains during the fatigue process. The results showed that the compressive strain demonstrated an obvious two-stage ascending behavior, whereas the tensile strain revealed a slow upward progression during the fatigue process. Subsequently, a theoretical model was proposed to describe the degradation process of the elastic modulus and the movement of the neutral axis. The changes in the bone properties were determined using the FEM method based on the newly developed model. The results obtained from two different methods exhibited a good degree of consistency. The results obtained in this study are of help in terms of effectively exploring the damage evolution of the bone materials.
