Over the years, prestressing concrete has become a well-known technique to improve the ultimate and serviceability state of RC members. Besides steel reinforcement, relatively new …
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have the special property of returning to their initial shape upon heating which is called shape memory effect (SME). If the returning to the initial shape …
Abstract The iron-based Fe–17Mn–5Si–10Cr–4Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) has been manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) for the first time. High strength, elongation …
In the present work, a Fe–Mn–Si shape memory alloy containing V and C has been fabricated by laser powder bed fusion for the first time. A pronounced pseudo-elasticity …
The present paper investigates the behavior of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) subjected to cyclic inelastic straining by means of uniaxial coupon experiments. The tests …
This work demonstrates the tailoring of the microstructure of two FeMnSi-based shape memory alloys during laser powder bed fusion. Significant variations in the microstructure of …
Openings in the shear span can significantly affect the structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, particularly in terms of shear capacity and crack propagation. This …
Excessive seismic damage and residual deformation in bridge piers can result in time- consuming post-earthquake repair and replacement, which will adversely affect the recovery …
