Comparison between new developed test method (using DMA) and the existing one for measurement of the bending force of monofilaments Universiteit Gent
The measurement of the bending force of monofilaments used in synthetic sport fields, which determines the quality and the performance in long terms, is still a main discussion on the world of artificial turf. This leads to the need of having précised results of the bending force measured and having the possibility of doing it on different conditions. A new test method has been developed by modifying the DMA equipment in order to use it for ...
Acoustic emission monitoring of granite under bending and shear loading Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this study bending and shear fracture experiments on healthy and adhesively repaired granite samples with concurrent acoustic emission (AE) monitoring are discussed. AE can characterize the difference between the fracture modes using simple features analysis based on the activity of the early loading. It is the
first time that such a direct correspondence between the stress field and the results of a monitoring technique emerge for ...

Acoustic Emission Activity for Characterizing Fracture of Marble under Bending Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present paper occupies with the acoustic emission (AE) monitoring of fracture of marble. The specimens belong to two different material types and were tested in three-point bending after being ultrasonically interrogated. Consequently, they were repaired by means of suitable epoxy agent and mechanically re-loaded. Apart from the well-known correlation of pulse velocity to strength, which holds for the materials of this study as well, AE ...
Variational analysis of cracked general cross-ply laminates under bending and biaxial extension Universiteit Gent
Triangular differential quadrature method in bending analysis of triangular symmetric laminated plates Universiteit Gent
Evaluation of the FIB bulletin 14 design guideline for external TRC bending reinforcement Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Due to their advantages related to fire safety and their relatively low cost, Textile Reinforced Cement (TRC) composites are emerging as external reinforcing materials for concrete structures. The current design guidelines for external reinforcement are mostly elaborated for the Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) material solutions. Considering the major differences between both the CFRP and TRC materials, the validity of these CFRP design ...
Bending fracture of textile reinforced cement laminates monitored by acoustic emission: influence of aspect ratio Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
Textile reinforced cement based composites (TRC) are a new class of sustainable construction materials
with superior tensile strength and ductility. These materials have the potential for becoming load bearing
structural members, therefore a wide array of structural and non-structural applications are possible.
However, their heterogeneous, laminated, ?brous nature complicates the understanding of their fracture

Design of a four-point bend test for ultra-low cycle fatigue of pipelines under inelastic bending Universiteit Gent
This master thesis is situated in the research domain dealing with the ductile failure of pipelines under extreme loading conditions. It is part of an umbrella research aiming to develop innovative experimental and computational methodologies to simulate fracture of steel structural elements under ultralow cycle fatigue. The focus of this study is on steel pipeline applications. The objective of this thesis is to design a large-scale four-point ...
Experimental analysis of the fatigue life of threaded pipe connections under cyclic bending Universiteit Gent
When subjected to cyclic loads, fatigue cracks can cause failure of pipe systems joined by threaded pipe connections. In this study, the effect of contact conditions and coupling geometry is investigated experimentally. Fatigue tests under cyclic bending are carried out on three different threaded connection configurations. The resulting fatigue lives are compared and fracture surfaces are investigated. The fatigue cracks are found to initiate ...
