The last decade has seen a strong increase of research into flows in fractured porous media,
mainly related to subsurface processes but also in materials science and biological …

Abstract Knowledge of wood aging and the property changes of aged wood compared with
recent wood are crucial for conservation of wooden cultural heritage objects and historic …

Vibration reduction has always been one of hot and important topics in mechanical
engineering, especially for the special measurement instrument. In this paper, a novel limb …

Transparent wood (TW) based on delignified birch veneer and thermoplastic poly (methyl
methacrylate)(PMMA) is investigated by uniaxial tensile tests and full-field strain analyses …

The phenomenon of creep, particularly in anisotropic and fibre-reinforced materials, is
critical to structural design. The objective of this study is to study the creep behaviour of …

This paper intended to comparatively investigate the fracture behavior of alkali activated
slag concrete (AASC) containing glass fiber (GF), basalt fiber (BF) and polypropylene fiber …

In this work, the evaluation of the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (EL) of maritime pine
(Pinus pinaster Ait.) was investigated by means of compression tests parallel to the grain …

Fracture mechanics is crucial for many fields of engineering applications, as precisely
predicting failure of structures and parts is required for efficient designs. The simulation of …

This paper reports a numerical study of the end notched flexure Pinus pinaster wood
specimen. The main objective was to validate a data reduction method based on the …
