Steel-concrete composite walls, valued for their capacity to combine the strengths of steel and concrete, have become a prevalent construction choice. During past few decades, performance steel-concrete walls has been studied by means structural tests, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation. Different types proposed researchers satisfy miscellaneous requirements. Meanwhile, new forms were continually being developed further improve mechanical performance. This review paper examines...
Abstract Influence of nano-strengthening immersion on the properties recycled aggregate (RA) and concrete (RAC) microstructure interfacial transition zones (ITZs) between mortar were studied in this paper. Results showed that was helpful to reduce crushing value total pore area RA, significantly improve mechanical strength RAC, modify bond RAC steel rebar structural beams. Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), micro-hardness (MH) scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation conducted order...
Prestressed stayed columns (PSCs) are structural systems whose compressive load-carrying capacity is enhanced through pre-tensioned cable stays. Much research has demonstrated that PSCs buckle subcritically when their prestressing levels maximize the critical buckling load of theoretically perfect arrangement. Erosion cables’ effectiveness (e.g. creep or corrosion) can thus lead to sudden collapse. The present goal develop a health monitoring (SHM) technique for in-service returns current...
Biology is a wellspring of inspiration in engineering design. This paper delves into the application elastic instabilities-commonly used biological systems to facilitate swift movement-as power-amplification mechanism for soft robots. Specifically, inspired by nonlinear mechanics hummingbird beak-and shedding further light on it-we design, build and test novel, rapid-response, end effector. The beak embodies capacity movement, achieving closure less than [Formula: see text]. Previous work...
Buckling-driven shape-shifting is increasingly being used in metamaterials to achieve mechanical programmability and novel functionality. Here, we show that the post-buckling response ensuing behavior, of lattice can be programed through so-called passive active modal nudging. Numerical continuation first explore exhaustively bifurcation manifold a compressed, elastomeric metamaterial. We then tailor natural postcritical behavior metamaterial by judiciously altering baseline geometry using...
Overprinting is a new emerging hybrid manufacturing process that combines composite and additive manufacturing, offering the dual advantages of cost-effectiveness design freedom. This study presents first endeavour overprinting high temperature polymers. The joint strength was measured by rib-on-plate test. A modified non-isothermal healing model developed to predict interfacial bond strength, based on thermal history at interface during overprinting. captures how crystallisation impedes...
Shape-shifting between multiple stable deformation states offers attractive pathways to design adaptive structures. Ideas have been conceptualised in diverse fields, including soft robotics and aerospace engineering. The success of shape-shifting relies on overcoming the energy barrier separating adjacent configurations, which necessitates efficient actuation strategies. Recently, multistable mechanical metamaterials designed with controlled by an actuator at local scale, i.e embedded...
Surface wrinkling in stiff-film/soft-substrate bilayers is a common phenomenon biological systems and increasingly being exploited thin-film technology. While the onset of surface end-compressed well understood, questions remain with regards to evolution pattern intermediate deep post-wrinkling regimes, especially when substrate strongly pre-compressed. Here, we explore bifurcation landscape pre-compressed substrates, using hyperelastic, plane strain finite-elements generalized...
