Static structural behaviour of wire bearings: comparison with conventional bearings and study of design and operational parameters
(Elsevier, 2018-10-28)
In wire bearings the rolling process occurs on raceways machined on steel wires, and the rings are
made of light materials such as aluminium. This particular architecture provides both weight and
inertia savings, but ...
Analysis of DCB test of angle-ply laminates including bending-twisting coupling
(Elsevier, 2018-02-13)
Se analiza la fractura interlaminar de laminados simétricos y antisimétricos angulares mediante el método Double Cantilever Beam. Como los semi-laminados son simétricos en ambos casos, se produce un acoplamiento de ...
A study on the durability of structural concrete incorporating electric steelmaking slag
(Elsevier, 2018-02-10)
The durability of structural concrete mixes prepared with electric steelmaking aggregates is tested for use in normal and aggressive environments. Samples of “pumpable” and “self-compacting” concrete mixes are shown to ...
An engineering approach for the estimation of slewing bearing stiffness in Wind Turbine Generators
(Wiley, 2018-11-30)
The stiffness of yaw and pitch slewing bearings has a critical influence on the structural
behaviour of Wind Turbine Generators. Thus, it is commonly required by designers for
their simulations to estimate deformations ...
Efficient assembly of bolted joints under external loads using numerical FEM
(Elsevier, 2018-05-16)
Several factors can cause leakages in a bolted flange connection, external loads being the
most important one. External loads such as those produced by misalignment introduce an
external axial load combined with a bending ...
Effect of microwave heating damage on the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced cement mortars
(Elsevier, 2018)
Nowadays, refurbishing of existing structures has gained interest in order to reduce both the construction materials used and the construction and demolition waste production. For that purpose, there are several methods ...
Bonding strength of stainless steel rebars in concretes exposed to marine environments
(Elsevier, 2018-05-30)
[EN] Many studies have corroborated the use of Stainless Steel Reinforcements (SSR) for structures in corrosive environments. However, even though the conditions for their employment are specified in different standards, ...
Comparison between the stiffness method and the hybrid method applied to a circular ring
(Springer, 2018-01-17)
This study deals with the comparison of stresses and displacements of a circular ring obtained by two numerical formulations, namely the stiffness method and the hybrid method, applied to isoparametric quadrilateral elements. ...
Dimensional stability of Electric Arc Furnace slag in civil engineering applications
(Elsevier, 2018-09-15)
Dimensional stability of manufactured aggregates represents a matter of interest for many applications in civil engineering. Past results evidenced how steel slag might be affected by potential swelling, due to several ...
Direct integration of the equations of multibody dynamics using central differences and linearization
(Elsevier, 2018-12-12)
A methodology for integrating rigid body dynamics for the analysis of multibody systems is presented. The novelty lies in the fact that the equation system is solved directly by means of central differences as a second-order ...
