Finite element modeling of reinforced concrete beams externally strengthened by FRP composites

Creator:

Potisuk, Tanarat

Abstract:

Three-dimensional finite element models are developed to simulate the behavior of four fill-scale reinforced concrete beams. The beams are constructed with different fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening schemes, and are modeled using ANSYS, a commercially available finite element analysis program. The experimental beams replicate the transverse beams of the Horsetail Creek...

Direct coupling of imaging to morphology-based numerical modeling as a tool for mechanics analysis of wood plastic composites

Creator:

Lin, Xiang

Abstract:

Polymeric composites reinforced with bio-materials have advantages over composites with synthetic reinforcements. Bio-based composites use low-cost and renewable reinforcements, have nonabrasive properties for machining, have improved damping characteristics, and have potential for energy recycling. However, the limited use of bio-based composites is because their mechanical properties are typically much lower...
