In the present work, single- and double-dowel joints following different geometric configurations are experimentally and numerically investigated to derive the splitting behaviour of beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.), one of the most widespread hardwood sp...

Flexible pipes are extensively used to connect seabed and floating production systems for the development of deep-water oil and gas. In the top connection area, end fitting (EF) is the connector between the flexible pipe and floating platform, as a criti...

Bonded joints used in wing sections and frames of aircraft structures are mostly exposed to cyclic loadings instead of static ones during their services. Bending types of dynamic loadings are mostly encountered. In this study, the fatigue response of a s...

The rehabilitation of steel structures with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP?s) may appear less effective because they can be bolted or welded with steel plates that display the same mechanical properties. However, this technique has some unwanted conseque...

Indentation is an effective indication of LVI damage in PMCs. However, indentation can rebound partly with time. Thus, a good understanding of the rebound behavior of the impacted pit is helpful in damage assessment for composites. In this paper, a trans...

An explicit 3D Finite Element (FE) model was developed in the LS-Dyna code to simulate the laser shock paint stripping on aircraft aluminum substrates. The main objective of the model is to explain the physical mechanisms of the laser shock stripping pro...

Ice accretion can cause problems on polar ships, ocean platforms, and in other marine industries. It is important to understand the interface debonding behavior between ice and the surface of equipment. In this work, we created a mechanical model to anal...
