The simplest way to formulate the basic equations of continuum mech-ics and the
constitutive or evolutional equations of various materials is to restrict ourselves to …

Deformation monitoring and structural reliability assessment are key components in modern
conventional tunneling. The state-of-the-art monitoring design is usually based on …

Civil structural health monitoring (CSHM) has become significantly more important within the
last decades due to rapidly growing construction volume worldwide as well as aging …

Metals that are exposed to high pressure hydrogen gas may undergo detrimental failure by
embrittlement. Understanding the mechanisms and driving forces of hydrogen absorption on …

In the theoretical part of this contribution we deal with deriving a fourth-order differential
equation of the functionally graded material (FGM) beam deflection with variation of material …

Abstract Knowledge on the stresses in shotcrete tunnel shells is of great importance, as to
assess their safety against severe cracking or failure. Estimation of these stresses from 3D …

This paper deals with the development and implementation of diagonal laminated timber
(DLT), a composite timber product, consisting of individual layers which are rotated to each …

Die Berechnungsverfahren der Festigkeitslehre beruhen auf den Gesetzen der Statik und
setzen ihre Regeln voraus. Die Berechnungsgleichungen der Festigkeitslehre werden für …

Fire tests on masonry are one of the most expensive experiments in developing new
vertically perforated clay block geometries. Numerical simulations might be a reasonable …

In this contribution, a homogenized beam finite element for modal analysis considering a
double symmetric cross-section made of a Functionally Graded Material (FGM) is presented …
