2. Elasto-plastic constitutive law for wood behaviour under compressive loadings

Author

Oudjene, M. and Khelifa, M.

Subjects
Software, Anisotropy, Finite element method, Timber, Business, Construction and materials industries, Software quality
Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, a constitutive law describing the wood behaviour, as elasto-plastic orthotropic material with 3D finite element model, is presented. Anisotropic elasto-plastic constitutive law with hardening associated with [...]

3. Response of pre-cast reinforced composite sandwich panels to axial loading

Author

Benayoune, A., Samad, A.A.A., Ali, A.A. Abang, and Trikha, D.N.

Subjects
Software, Finite element method, Insulating materials industry, Business, Construction and materials industries, Software quality
Abstract

Abstract This paper summarises the results of an experimental and numerical study of precast reinforced composite sandwich panels. Full-scale tests were carried out to determine their axial strength capacity. Load--deformation [...]

4. Bending response of externally reinforced, inflated, braided fabric arches and beams

Author

Brayley, Kevin E., Davids, William G., and Clapp, Joshua D.

Subjects
Engineering schools, Finite element method, Coatings, Computer simulation, Computer-generated environments, Business, Construction and materials industries
Abstract

ABSTRACT Important characteristics for temporary structures include ease of deployment, simple erection, and minimal shipping volume and weight. The use of inflatable fabric members (i.e. airbeams) directly satisfies these needs [...]
