Influence of Adhesive Characteristics on the Interfacial Stress Concentrations in Externally FRP Plated Steel Beams

This paper deals with the influence of adhesive properties on the interlaminar stress in externally FRP plated steel beams. The analysis provides efficient calculations for both shear and normal interfacial stresses in steel beams strengthened with composite plates, and accounts for various effects of Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of adhesive. Such interfacial stresses play a fundamental role in the mechanics of plated beams, because they can produce a sudden and premature failure. The analysis is based on equilibrium and deformations compatibility approach developed by Tounsi [1]. In the present theoretical analysis, the adherend shear deformations are taken into account by assuming a parabolic shear stress through the thickness of both the steel beam and bonded plate. The paper concludes with a summary and recommendations for the design of the strengthened beam.     

Approximate analysis of the interfacial stress concentrations in FRP–RC hybrid beams

In this paper an approximate analytical method is proposed to predict the distribution of interfacial stresses in FRP–RC hybrid beams. The theoretical results are compared, and show close agreement, with other rigorous theoretical analyses. A parametrical study is carried out to show the effects of some design variables, e.g. thickness of adhesive layer, thickness of FRP plate and the distance from support to cut-off end of bonded plates.     

Interfacial stress analysis of functionally graded beams strengthened with a bonded hygrothermal aged composite plate

This paper reports an improved analytical solution for analysis the problem of interface stresses in functionally graded beam (FGB) strengthened with bonded hygrothermal aged composite plates. The material properties of the functionally graded beam are supposed to vary according to power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents through the beam thickness. The obtained results are compared with the existing solutions in the literature to verify the validity of the new analytical approach. It is found that the inhomogeneities play an important role in reducing the stress concentrations along bi-material interfaces. Finally, a parametric study was carried out to show the effects of the fiber volume fraction, the hygrothermal effect, and some design variables, e.g. thickness of adhesive layer and FRP plate on the magnitude of maximum shear and normal stress.     

Predicting the Capacity of RC Beams Strengthened in Shear with Side-Bonded FRP Reinforcements Using Artificial Neural Networks

The application of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams retrofitted in shear by means of side-bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is investigated in this paper. An extensive literature review has been carried out. In addition, ten shear deficient RC beams with different carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) configurations were tested and added as data to the collected data. It was aimed to build an efficient and practical ANN model with parameters which can easily be obtained without any calculation and/or experimental investigation. The results are compared with the design guideline equations that emerge as predictions of the FRP contribution using the trained neural networks: these are in good agreement with the experimental results and better than those calculated from the theoretical guideline equations. Based on ANN results, a parametric study has been carried out to study the importance of different influencing parameters on the FRP contribution. Thereafter, a new simple expression is proposed for determining the contribution of externally bonded side-bonded FRP. Accordingly, the suggested design formula is capable of predicting the experimental FRP satisfactorily so that it can be admitted as an alternative to the existing guideline equations within the range of parameters covered in the study.     

Prestressed FRP and interface slip effect on interfacial stresses analysis: the new FRP sheets rigidity model

This paper presents an improved bi-material beam theory with adhesive interface and the new prestressed-fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) – model, which has been applied to the study the problem of interfacial stresses. This work explicitly considers the interfacial slip effect on the structural performance by including both the effect of adherend shear deformations and the fiber volume fraction of the prestressed laminates. This new method needs only one differential equation to determine both shear and normal interfacial stress, which is one aspect that has not been taken into account by the previous studies in the literature. A parametrical study is carried out to show the effects of some design variables, e.g., stiffness and thickness of adhesive layer and FRP plate.     

Structural assessment of externally flexural strengthened reinforced concrete beam after repaired with polymer mixture

This study investigated the effectiveness of external strengthening technique. The experimental variables were the strengthening material and overlay materials using polymer mixtures. Beams considered in this study are the ones strengthened either with external steel plate or carbon fiber sheet (CFS) bonded to the overlay soffit or with reinforcing rebars in the overlay. An analytical method based on the nonlinear layered finite element method is used to simulate the load–deflection behavior of strengthened beam. The theoretically obtained load–deflection relationships and strains of the strengthened beams are compared to the corresponding experimental values. Efficiencies of the repairing techniques are evaluated by comparing the approximate measures on the cumulative slips. Parametric studies are then obtained using the developed model to investigate the effects of design variables on the overall flexural behavior of the strengthened beam. Simply supported beams under monotonically increasing symmetrical loads are considered exclusively.     

Wave reflection and transmission in beams containing delamination and inhomogeneity

This paper presents an analytical approach using higher order plate theories to determine wave reflections from and transmissions through a damaged region in a beam. The damaged region is either treated as two split beams or as an inhomogeneity. The reflection ratios and transmission ratios are found to depend strongly on the frequency of the incident flexural waves, as well as the size of the damage, which gives rise to strong stop/pass band behaviour. Using the spectral analysis method, the transient wave propagation in a beam with a part-through delamination is predicted and compared with experimental results, indicating a good agreement in the phases and amplitudes of both the reflected and transmitted waves.

Measuring the thickness and refractive index of a thick transparent plate by an unexpanded laser beam

The thickness and refractive index of a thick transparent plate are measured by using an unexpanded HeNe laser beam. The laser beam is incident at different angles onto the plate; and then two reflected beams; from the front and back surfaces; are received on a distant screen: the corresponding separations between them are measured. A theoretical relation between the refractive index; thickness; angle of incidence and separation is derived. This relation is experimentally verified and shows good agreement. The errors in the measured thickness and refractive index are analysed. The method is non-contact; non-destructive and low cost.

A High‐Efficiency All‐Fiber Laser Operated in High‐Order Mode using Ring‐Core Yb‐Doped Fiber

An all‐fiber laser generating a cylindrical vector beam is proposed and demonstrated using a home‐made ring‐core Yb‐doped fiber (RC‐YDF). In the RC‐YDF, not only annular doping but also ring‐type beam pump is realized. This is believed to be the first report describing the realization of annular doping and ring‐type beam pump in active fiber simultaneously, which can enhance the efficiency for high‐order mode oscillation. This laser operates in the high‐order mode stably with a slope efficiency of as high as 55.7%. Cylindrical vector modes can be obtained easily through adjusting the polarization controller. This work may have great potential for providing high‐efficiency and high‐power cylindrical vector beam and vortex beam sources.     

Photonic switching in GaAlAs optical strip waveguides by photo-induced electroabsorption

GaAlAs strip waveguides embedded in unbiased pn-junctions are employed for all-optical switching. The underlying physical mechanism is a combination of the photovoltaic effect and the conventional Franz-Keldysh effect, thus it is called the photo-induced Franz-Keldysh effect or photo-induced electroabsorption. Experimental as well as theoretical results are given and show good agreement. In the experiments the transmitted light power of a probe beam is switched by 3 dB due to an injected control beam at input light power levels of about 0.5 mW each. The dynamics of this all-optical switch is limited by RC time constants.

Damage evaluation of reinforced concrete frame based on a combined fiber beam model

In order to analyze and simulate the impact collapse or seismic response of the reinforced concrete(RC)structures,a combined fiber beam model is proposed by dividing the cross section of RC beam into concrete fiber and steel fiber.The stress-strain relationship of concrete fiber is based on a model proposed by concrete codes for concrete structures.The stress-strain behavior of steel fiber is based on a model suggested by others.These constitutive models are implemented into a general finite element program ABAQUS through the user defined subroutines to provide effective computational tools for the inelastic analysis of RC frame structures.The fiber model proposed in this paper is validated by comparing with experiment data of the RC column under cyclical lateral loading.The damage evolution of a three-dimension frame subjected to impact loading is also investigated.

Effect of chromaticity on quarter-wave retarder performance

When a polarized polychromatic beam passes through a birefringent medium, the constituent spectral components suffer different change of state of polarization. As a result when the beam passes through an analyzer, the intensity of the resultant beam changes depending on the orientation of the analyzer, state of polarization of the input beam, spectral and spatial intensity distribution of the source and the polarizing properties of the birefringent medium. In the present study the intensity variation of the resulting beam passing through a quarter-wave retarder plate is observed theoretically with the variation of the azimuthal angle of the analyzer for monochromatic and polychromatic source of light. A simple experiment is conducted to observe the intensity variation for an incandescent lamp and HeNe laser as polychromatic and monochromatic source of light passing through a birefringent polymer-based quarter-wave retarder plate. The experimentally obtained values are compared with theoretical values and a good agreement is observed.
