Design for a cruciform coupon used for tensile biaxial transverse tests on composite materials
(Elsevier, 2017-06)
This paper focuses on the design of the appropriate geometry for cruciform coupons conceived to be tested under tensile biaxial transverse loads. To this end, Finite Element models were developed and their results were ...

Two FE models to analyse the dynamic response of short span simply-supported oblique High-Speed railway bridges: comparison and experimental validation
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
In this paper the dynamic response of a particular type of high-speed railway bridge common in the Spanish railway system is analysed with the aim of evaluating the levels of vertical vibrations experienced at the platform. ...

Closed-form methodology for stress analysis of composite plates with cutouts and non-uniform lay-up
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
This study aims to develop a closed-form methodology for estimating the resultant forces in a finite composite plate, weakened by the presence of elliptical cutouts, under membrane loads. Following an innovative approach, the ...

Fitting the fracture curve of concrete as a density function pertaining to the generalized extreme value family
(Elsevier, 2017-09)
The load-displacement (P-δ) curve, recorded during the fracture process of concrete in three-point bending tests, is supposed to depict a fracture phenomenon of statistical character that can be suitably described by a ...

The effect of frequency on tension-tension fatigue behavior of unidirectional and woven fabric graphite-epoxy composites
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-09)
In this paper, the effect of different values of load frequency on the evolution of the stress versus number of cycles to failure curve for a graphite-epoxy composite is studied. Two types of materials have been considered: ...

Fiber Bragg grating application to study an unmanned aerial system composite wing
(SAGE Publications, 2019-05)
Structural health monitoring consists of structural integrity assessment by means of data acquisition and analysis from on-board sensors. Fiber Bragg grating–based monitoring is increasingly attracting the scientific ...

A 2.5D time-frequency domain model for railway induced soil-building vibration due to railway defects
(Elsevier, 2019-05)
A new hybrid time-frequency modelling methodology is proposed to simulate the generation of railway vibration caused by singular defects (e.g. joints, switches, crossings), and its propagation through the track, soil and ...

Elasto-plastic hardening models adjustment to ferritic, austenitic and austenoferritic Rebar
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), 2017)
The elastoplastic behaviour of steel used for structural member fabrication has received attention to facilitate a mechanical-resistant design. New Zealand and South African standards have adopted various theoreti-cal ...
