Analysis of corroded steel CHS column strengthened with CFRP under axial load
Introduction Steel Circular Hollow Section (CHS) columns are widely used in engineering structures due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, aesthetic appeal, and excellent performance under axial and bending loads. However, over time, these structural elements are vulnerable to corrosion, especially in harsh or marine environments. Corrosion reduces the cross-sectional area of the steel, compromises structural […]
Air blast analysis of a composite panel made of CFRP facing and PET foam core
Introduction to Air Blast Analysis of CFRP-PET Foam Composite Panels 1. Background and Importance Composite sandwich structures, typically comprising Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) face sheets and a lightweight core such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) foam, are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, excellent energy absorption, and […]
Simulation the CEL water sloshing in the airy CFRP composite tank
The accurate prediction of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) phenomena, such as liquid sloshing, is crucial in the design and safety analysis of lightweight composite tanks used in aerospace and marine applications. Sloshing refers to the oscillatory motion of a liquid inside a container, often induced by external excitations such as acceleration, vibration, or impact. This motion […]
Analysis of adhesively bonded cross-laminated timber-concrete composite under close blast explosion test
The increasing demand for sustainable and resilient building materials has driven the development of hybrid structural systems that combine the advantages of different materials. One such system is the cross-laminated timber–concrete (CLT–concrete) composite, which leverages the high stiffness and compressive strength of concrete with the lightweight, renewable, and ductile characteristics of cross-laminated timber (CLT). These […]
Blast resistance behavior of interior voided slab-column connections using steel sheets and CFRP reinforcement
Introduction to Blast Resistance Behavior of Interior Voided Slab-Column Connections Using Steel Sheets and CFRP Reinforcement Background Slab-column connections are critical structural elements in modern buildings, particularly in high-risk environments where blast resistance is a design consideration. Traditional reinforced concrete (RC) slab-column connections may experience punching shear failure under blast loads, leading to catastrophic structural […]
