An experimental study of initial flaws in thin sheets of 2024 aircraft aluminium alloy

Wyman Zhuang, Qianchu Liu, Cathy Smith

One of the challenges in the prediction of fatigue crack growth is to identify representative initial flaws and defects that can cause fatigue crack initiation and subsequent…

Structural integrity assessment for a component of the bucket-wheel excavator

Anghel Cernescu, Liviu Marsavina, Ion Dumitru

The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for assessing the structural integrity of a tie member from a bucket-wheel excavator, ESRC 470 model, which was in operation…

A study on the effect of sequential post-earthquake fire on the performance of reinforced concrete structures

Behrouz Behnam, Hamid Reza Ronagh

Post-earthquake fire (PEF) can lead to a rapid collapse of structures partially damaged by earthquake. As there is almost no established PEF provisions by codes and standards, PEF…
