This study presents a sequentially coupled optimisation of structural topology and fibre
orientation for 3D printing of continuous carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites …

Structural evaluations are important for monitoring performance and behavior changes that
occur due to environmental or other loading conditions. As a renowned experimental …

In sheet metal forming processes, formability is a critical material property that needs to be
estimated before the production of forming parts. Some popular tools used in the literature to …

This micro-article is focused on the application of DIC in measuring strain for a 2D structural
element like brick masonry specimen. Conventional techniques of strain measurements …

Heterostructured metallic materials have drawn attention because of their superior
mechanical properties compared to their homogeneous counterparts. This paper evaluates …

The paper addresses a relevant subject in structural health monitoring for civil engineering
applications such as bridges or other large structures. Experimental laboratory program on …

The main purpose of this work is to analyze the elastic properties (ie Young's modulus and
Poisson's ratio) of gypsum specimens manufactured by traditional methods (non-industrial …

Asperities within pre-existing fractures of coals can experience local damage during the
fracture closure due to external loading. Previous research postulates that this local asperity …

This research presents the microstructural and mechanical evolution throughout the welded
seam of an austenitic stainless steel (ASS) tube. It was found that the main hardness …

The present work is focused on experimental monitoring procedures to investigate stresses
and damage settlement during fatigue tests of CFRP elements under bending and tensile …
