Sandstones have been indented by a cylinder till failure. During indentation, the force-
penetration curve has been recorded and the full-field displacements on the sandstones' …

As a potential alternative of Portland cement concrete for construction and building
applications, solid-like geopolymer made by alkali-activation of the mine tailings (MTs) …

Flexibility of refractories is an interesting property to improve thermal shock resistance of
refractories. It can often be obtained by promoting a nonlinear mechanical behaviour which …

This study aimed to analytically develop tensile stress-crack width constitutive relationships
for hybrid fibre reinforced concrete (HFRC). An inverse analysis was performed based on …

Metallic structures are increasingly being replaced by fiber-reinforced composites for the
design of advanced structures with superior mechanical and physical properties. Fibrous …

As a practical and effective tool for quantitative in-plane deformation measurement of a
planar surface, two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D DIC) is now widely accepted …

This study determines the equivalent stress intensity factor (SIF) model that best fits the
experimental behavior of low-carbon steel under mixed modes (I and II). The study assessed …

A novel structural health monitoring approach consisting of guided ultrasonic waves,
acoustic emission, and digital image correlation, as well as real-time and postmortem …

Abstract Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is probably one of the most used optical methods for
displacements and strains measurement and has been used both in its standard form and in …

The experimental evaluation of fracture toughness of linepipe steels is increasingly
performed through Single Edge Notched Tensile (SENT) testing. The notch constraint in …
