Experimental studies on the fracture and fatigue failure processes under direct tension in quasi-brittle materials - Graphite and Concrete
Abstract
Fatigue phenomenon is a gradual, permanent, micro structural change that takes place
in a material due to the application of repeated loading. In the case of quasi-brittle
materials like graphite and concrete, ...
Experimental Investigations Into Fracture and Fatigue Behavior Of Plain and Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Acoustic Emission Technique
Concrete is the most widely used material in the world for construction of infrastructures and there are quite a few gaps in understanding its behaviour under different loads. Fracture in concrete occurs at pre-existing ...
Analysis of Fracture Processes in Steel Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites using Acoustic Emission Testing
Plain concrete has low tensile strength. Steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) is an
alternative to plain concrete. One of the major reasons of using the SFRC is due to its
high tensile strength. The fracture process ...
Fracture and Fatigue Behaviour of Notched Plain Concrete Beams: The Role of Theory of Critical Distances and Acoustic Emission
Concrete structures, including buildings, bridges, pavements, and offshore structures,
face a wide range of loading conditions, both static and cyclic. When subjected to
fatigue loading, the response of concrete elements ...
