The debonding behavior at the interface between carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) sheet and concrete is a key problem for the application of FRP plate, which has been widely applied in the civil engineering for rehabilitation and retrofitting of conventional structures. This paper presents the nonlinear finite element analysis results of the CFRP-strengthened high-strength concrete member. On the basis of the test, considering of the bond-slip relationship, explicit finite element is used for simulating the shear failure of CFRP-strengthened concrete, obtain three-dimensional deformation development diagram, describe the failure mode and the relationship between the shearing bond behavior and concrete strength. The FE results coincide with the experimental results.

Abstract Hollow concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) member is mainly adopted in power transmission and transformation structures, but when it is used in the superstructure with complex stress, the hollow CFST member has a low bearing capacity and is prone to brittle failure. To improve the mechanical performance of hollow CFST members, a new type of reinforced hollow high strength concrete-filled square steel tube (RHCFSST) was proposed, and its axial compression performance was researched. 18 finite element analysis (FEA) models of axially loaded RHCFSST stub columns were established through FEA software ABAQUS. The whole stress process of composite columns was studied, and parametric studies were carried out to analyze the mechanical performance of the member. Parameters of the steel strength, steel ratio, deformed bar and sandwich concrete strength were varied. Based on the simulation results, the stress process of members can be divided into four stages: elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, descending stage and gentle stage. With the increase of steel strength, steel ratio, the strength of sandwich concrete and the addition of deformed bars, the ultimate bearing capacity of members also increases. Additionally, the increment of those parameters will improve the ductility of the member, except for the sandwich concrete strength.

AbstractThe molecular chains of a highly oriented polymer lie in the same direction. A highly oriented polymer is an engineering material with a high strength-to-weight ratio and favorable mechanical properties. Such an orthotropic material has biaxially arranged molecular chains that resist stress in the tensile direction, giving it a high commercial value. In this investigation, finite element analysis (FEA) was utilized to elucidate the deformation and failure of a highly oriented polymer. Based on the principles of material mechanics and using the FEA software, Abaqus, a solid model of an I-beam was constructed, and the lengths of this beam were set based on their heights. Three-point bending tests were performed to simulate the properties of the orthotropic highly oriented polymer, yielding results that reveal both tension failure and shear failure. The aspect ratio that most favored the manufacture of an I-beam from highly oriented polymers was obtained; based on this ratio, a die drawing mold can be developed in the future.

In this study, the failure mechanism of laser welds in lap-shear specimens of a high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel under quasi-static loading conditions is examined based on the experimental results. Optical micrographs of the welds in specimens before tests were examined to understand the microstructure near the weld. A micrographic analysis of the failed welds in lap-shear specimens indicates a ductile necking/shear failure mechanism near the heat affected zone. Micro-hardness tests were conducted to provide an assessment of the mechanical properties of the joint area which has varying microstructure due to the welding process. A finite element analysis was also carried out to identify the effects of the weld geometry and different mechanical properties of the weld and heat affected zones on the failure mechanism. The computational results of the finite element analysis indicate that the material inhomogeneity and geometry of the weld bead play an important role in the ductile necking/shear failure mechanism. The computational results match well with the experimental observations of the necking/shear failure and its location. A finite element analysis with consideration of void nucleation and growth based on the Gurson yield function was also carried out. The results of the finite element analysis based on the Gurson yield function are in good agreement with the experimental observations of the initiation of ductile fracture and its location.

In this study, the failure mechanism of laser welds in lap-shear specimens of a high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel under quasi-static loading conditions is examined based on the experimental and computational results. Optical micrographs of the welds in the specimens before tests were examined to understand the microstructure near the weld. A micrographic analysis of the failed welds in lap-shear specimens indicates a ductile necking/shear failure mechanism near the heat affected zone. Micro-hardness tests were conducted to provide an assessment of the mechanical properties of the joint area which has varying microstructure due to the welding process. A finite element analysis was also carried out to identify the effects of the weld geometry and different mechanical properties of the weld and heat affected zones on the failure mechanism. The results of the finite element analysis show that the geometry of the weld protrusion and the higher effective stress–plastic strain curves of the heat affected and weld zones result in the necking/shear failure of the load carrying sheet. The deformed shape of the finite element model near the weld matches well with that near a failed weld. A finite element analysis based on the Gurson yield function with consideration of void nucleation and growth was also carried out. The results of the finite element analysis indicate that the location of the material elements with the maximum void volume fraction matches well with that of the initiation of ductile fracture as observed in the experiments.

The mechanical property of external prestressed beams is affected by many parameters. Based on experimental study on externally strengthened prestressed box beams, a three-dimensional finite element analysis model was built in ANSYS. The calculation results was proved to be correct by being compared with experimental results. The effect of some parameters on deflection and stress in externally strengthened box beam was deeply analyzed in serviceability stage and ultimate status. The study shows that different original status of strengthened beam may affect the deflection and stress in different degree. The parameters change, such as effective prestress, concrete strength, the area and depth of external tendons and displacement coupling character for contact node, will result in a little difference in deflection and stress in serviceability stage, but obvious in ultimate status. For box beams in the model, changing the tendons lateral distance to the web results in litlle change in deflection and stress. No matter it is inside or outside the box at cross section.

High-strength bolted shear connectors (HSBSCs), which can be demounted easily and efficiently during deconstruction, are recommended to replace the conventional steel studs in steel–concrete composite beams (SCCBs) to meet the requirements of sustainable development. The existing investigations on the behavior of HSBSCs mainly focus on the positive moment area of composite beams, in which the concrete slab is in compress condition. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) was developed to investigate the performance of HSBSCs subjected to inverse push-off loading. Material nonlinearities and the interactions among all components were included in the FEM. The accuracy and reliability of the proposed FEM were initially validated against the available push-off test results. Load-carrying capacity and load–slip response of the HSBSCs under inverse push-off loading were further studied by the verified FEM. A parametric study was carried out to determine the influence of the concrete strength, the diameter and tensile strength of bolt and the clearance between the concrete slab and the bolt as well as the bolt pretension on the shear performance of HSBSCs. Based on the extensive parametric analyses, design recommendations for estimating the shear load at the first slip and load-bearing resistance of HSBSCs were proposed and verified.

Paperboard box produced in large volume for packaging purpose either to pack light or heavy product. When a heavy product is packed, high strength and structural stability against compression and deformation of the paperboard box are demanded. This paper investigates the effects of different shape of fluting mediums on the von Mises stress and deformation using finite element analysis (FEA) tool. Solidworks and ANSYS software were used to design a 3-D model and perform static structural analysis, respectively. The result from the analysis and simulation revealed that common s-shape geometry experienced the lowest von Mises stress and deformation. Honeycomb geometry experienced the highest von Mises stress of 0.19576 MPa while triangle fluting medium recorded the highest deformation at 1.8695E-4mm.
