High-order accurate equations describing vibrations of thin bars

A method for deriving one-dimensional wave propagation equations in thin inhomogeneous anisotropic bars based on the mathematical homogenization theory for periodic media is used to obtain equations governing the longitudinal and transverse vibrations of a homogeneous circular bar. The equations are derived up to O(ε⁸) terms and take into account variable body forces and surface loads. Here, ε is the ratio of the bar’s typical thickness to the typical wavelength.     

Determination of contact stresses in problems on bending of a package of transversely isotropic bars

A mechanomathematical model for bending of packages of transversely isotropic bars of rectangular cross section is proposed. Adhesion, slippage, and separation zones between the bars are considered. The resolving equations for deflections and tangential displacements are supplemented with a system of linear differential equations for determining the normal and tangential contact stresses, and boundary conditions are formulated. A scheme for analytical solution of two contact problems—a package under the action of a distributed load and a round stamp—is considered. For these packages, a transition is performed from the initial system of differential equations for determining the contact stresses, where the unknown functions are interrelated by recurrent relationships, to one linear differential equation of fourth order and then to a system of linear algebraic equations. This transition allows us to integrate the initial system and get expressions for the contact stresses.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 761–778, November–December, 2004.     

Étude de l?adhérence des joncs et des plats composite avec le béton par flexion (beam test)

The Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique has been used in recent years for the strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. It involves the insertion of strips or rods of polymers reinforced with carbon fiber (CFRP) in the groove made previously in the concrete cover of corresponding surfaces, filled with epoxy adhesive for fixation. In order to characterize the bond behavior of the laminate and rods to concrete, an experimental work of pullout-bending tests was carried out. The pullout force at the laminate and the slip at the free and loaded end were measured. The influences of the concrete strength, the strength of the bond, and bond length on the bonding behavior between the three materials concrete, epoxy adhesive and CFRP were analyzed.     

Investigation of flexural properties and failure behaviour of biaxial braided CFRP

In this research, the experimental tests of quasi-static three-point bending and three-point bending fatigue were carried out for a ±25° biaxial braided carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM). A finite element (FE) model was also set up for quasi-static testing and the prediction results revealed that local fibre volume fraction (FVF) is a primary source affecting the mechanical properties of braided CFRP. The fatigue of the braided CFRP was defined as three different stages according to the flexural modulus results. The damage modes of the test specimens were observed via a digital microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the process-induced defects were summarised. With compiled results and observations, this study provides a better understanding of failure and fatigue behaviour of biaxial braided composites and their flexural properties which offers a good basis for any further research in fibre volume fractions, structure design and manufacturing for braided CFRP.     

On the stability of elastic curved bars

A general discussion about the stability of arbitrary elastic curved bars in space under combined actions of bending and twisting is given in this paper. A system of Eqs. (28)–(36) for perturbation functions near some equilibrium state is presented. With appropriate boundary conditions, the nontrivial solution corresponds to the critical state. Five examples are analysed in this paper. Some of them are new results and others are old problems treated using the new method.     

碳纤维布加固高温作用后的连续梁试验研究和可靠度分析

在实际加固工程中无法对钢筋混凝土连续梁梁顶进行加固,因此在试验中采用CFRP来加固梁的跨中,增强其正截面的抗弯承载力,并利用梁支座处出现塑性铰,引起弯矩重分布的特性,来达到加固的目的。为使试验更加接近加固工程实际情况,试验中加固都是在持载情况下进行的。试验结果表明:粘贴CFRP可以有效地提高连续梁的抗弯承载力;在不同的加固量下,加固后的梁有不同的破坏模式;本文对加固后的连续梁的可靠度进行了分析。数据表明,在加固量适当的情况下,加固后的可靠度基本能与现行规范保持一致。其试验及分析结果对相应的规范编制及工程应用具有较高的应用价值。     

碳纤维布与钢板复合加固梁剥离破坏研究

通过12根碳纤维布与钢板复合加固钢筋混凝土梁的抗弯性能研究,结果表明复合加固方式能有效地改善被加固构件的受力性能,但常由于复合加固层的剥离可能导致加固效果的降低。复合加固层与被加固构件之间的剥离是由于薄弱截面在剪应力及正应力的集中作用下而产生的,文中对复合加固层与混凝土之间的粘结剪应力及剥离正应力的计算公式分别进行推导,并进一步对碳纤维布与钢板复合加固的剥离机理进行分析,为工程应用提供依据。
