Shear-clinching allows the joining by forming of dissimilar materials with high differences between their mechanical properties without additional fasteners. Since the lower joining partner is indirectly shear cut during the process, even ultra-high strength materials can be joined. However, the cutting of the high-strength materials as well as the extrusion of the upper joining partner leads to high process forces and therefore to high tool loads. This applies in particular for the die, which is highly stressed during the cutting phase and therefore plastically deformed. Within the scope of this work, the influence of the occurring wear on the formation of the joint and its load-bearing capacity is analyzed for a scope of 500 strokes. For this purpose, press hardened 22MnB5 is used as lower joining partner. Its high strength leads to the plastic deformation of the cutting edge, which increases within the first 200 strokes. Afterwards only minor changes occur. Yet, no effect of the occurring wear on the joint formation and the joint strength, which was tested under shear and tensile load, could be determined. Functioning joints could still be produced for more than 500 strokes as the load-bearing capacity remained on a comparable level.

Prior investigations of the load-bearing capacity of bolts during fire have shown differing behaviour between bolts that have been loaded by shear or by tensile loads. A combination of the two loads has not yet been examined under fire conditions. This paper describes a series of tests on high-strength bolts of property class 10.9 both during and after fire under a combined shear and tensile load.

The use of high strength concrete (HSC) in multi-story buildings has become increasingly popular. Selection of HSC over normal strength concrete (NSC) allows for reducing the dimensions of the columns sections. However, this reduction has consequences on the structural performance in case of fire, as smaller cross sections lead to faster temperature increase in the section core. Besides, HSC experiences higher rates of strength loss with temperature and a higher susceptibility to spalling than NSC. The fire performance of a column can thus be affected by selecting HSC over NSC. This research performs a comparison of the fire performance of HSC and NSC columns, based on numerical simulations by finite element method. The thermal and structural analyses of the columns are conducted with the software SAFIR®. The variation of concrete strength with temperature for the different concrete classes is adopted from Eurocode. Different configurations are compared, including columns with the same load bearing capacity and columns with the same cross section. The relative loss of load bearing capacity during the fire is found to be more pronounced for HSC columns than for NSC columns. The impact on fire resistance rating is discussed. These results suggest that consideration of fire loading limits the opportunities for use of HSC, especially when the objective is to reduce the dimensions of the columns sections.

Through the floor specific pressure test, the floor specific pressure was obtained. The rock mass of mudstone, under the loading perpendicular to the weak plane, was in brittle-plastic failure state, and the bearing capacity of mudstone was equal to the Ⅲa grade floor. The brittle-plastic transition mechanism of the mudstone was revealed: Firstly, the more size, the more heterogeneity. The mudstone body was bigger than its rock samples, so there were more planes of weakness, which caused the macroscopic plastic deformation. Secondly, the directions of the load and the weak plane influenced the strength of the mudstone floor. During the plastic deformation, the compressive failure occurred layer by layer under the loading perpendicular to the weak planes, and the post peak load-bearing capacity of mudstone floor was decided by the layer’s strength.


The focus of this analysis is the review of steel plate strengthened RC beams using Single row and Stagger row bolt arrangements and to compare the bonding behaviour of different bolts arrangement under flexure. Also, to investigate the behaviour, load bearing capacity and the deflection for control and steel plate bonded beams. This research is constrained by FEM analysis utilizing ANSYS to the actions of standard RC Beam and RC beam steel plate associated.

AbstractWith the continuous improvement of the mechanical properties of composite materials, the adhesive interface performance of composite T-stiffened panels has become a critical factor in determining the overall structural strength. However, little work has been reported on the mechanical properties of adhesive interfaces in composite T-stiffened panels under lateral bending and shear loading. Especially, there is no clear explanation on the damage evolution law of structural properties for the interface with defects, which greatly influenced the use of T-stiffened composite structures. In this paper, the mechanical properties of T1100/5405 composite T-stiffened laminates under lateral bending and shear loading are experimentally and numerically investigated. The load-bearing capacities for the panels with intact and defected adhesive interfaces are compared, the damage evolution law of typical T-stiffened structures is further explored. Based on the continuum damage model (CDM) and the cohesive zone model (CZM), the constitutive models of the adhesive layer and the composite material are established respectively. Good agreements between experimental and numerical profiles illustrate that damages mainly occur on the loading side and the corner of the L-type ribs under lateral bending conditions, while damages extend from both sides of the interface layer to the center under shear loading. When a prefabricated defect exists, damages extend from the defect location along the loading direction. At the same time, the analysis shows that the lay-up of the surface layer, the chamfer radius, and the width of T-type ribs have a great influence on the structural load-bearing capacity, but less on the damage evolution form.

Based on this study, the effects of the different types of welding currents and electrode pressures on the tensile shear properties of the resistance spot welding (RSW) which are the joints of the commercial DP600 sheet steel are now been investigated. In addition to the fact that the electrode pressure is not much of a popular piece or topic of discussion in the literature, the expression of the mechanical properties of these commercial materials (most importantly in the DP and in the high strength steels). These factors that are known to be affecting the strength of the material are dispute. In the tensile shear tests of this welded joints; the tensile shear force and the maximum displacement were utilized to characterize the performance of the welding processes. The nugget diameter has been measured to create a clear definition of the RSW physical properties. The experimental results show that the tensile shear load bearing capacity is bond to increase as the electrode pressure increases based on a value in both the welding currents and the decrease at the higher values. The low current value at low and at the highest electrode pressures; during the high current value which could be at the middle of the electrode pressure values it can exhibit the superior mechanical properties. The effect of this electrode pressure on the tensile shear load bearing capacity is bond to increase as the welding current increases as well. This, also been assessed and examined based on the low carbon content.

Fibrous tissues have the ability to adapt to their mechanical environment. Adaptation can be guided by the direction and magnitude of the imposed load, leading to structural changes and altered mechanical properties. This is important for proper functioning of all fibrous tissues, especially those with a load bearing capacity such as tendons, ligaments, and tissue-supporting fibrous sheets. The mechanism by which fibrous tissues adapt to alterations in their mechanical environment remains unresolved, and such knowledge will be helpful to guide repair and engineering of artificial fibrous tissues.

Prior investigations of the load bearing capacity of bolts during fire have shown differing behaviour between bolts that were loaded by shear or by tensile loads. The interaction of the two loads has not yet been examined under fire conditions. This paper describes a preliminary test series on the post-fire performance of high-strength bolts of the property class 10.9 under combined tension and shear. The results show that how the bolt is loaded influences the load bearing capacity. It is assumed that this is also true at elevated temperatures. Further, atest set-up for experiments at elevated temperatures and a more detailed test series on the post-fire performance under combined tension and shear is presented.
