Abstract'Big data'and the use of'Artificial Intelligence'(AI) is currently advancing due to the
increasing and even cheaper data collection and processing capabilities. Social and …

In façade structures, adhesively bonded connections between glass panels and metallic
substructures represent an attractive alternative to mechanical fixation devices. Apart from …

Soft materials have attracted widespread attention and brought a wave of novel potential
applications. Accurate mechanical characterization is crucial for improving the ration design …

For maintaining an effective fire resistance for in-wall service penetrations (eg pipe and
cable systems) under fire conditions, firestop seals are used to be applied to thoroughly fill …

Requiring both stress and energy conditions to be met simultaneously proved key to
modeling brittle crack formation at singular and nonsingular stress concentrations in linear …

An analysis of distortional, ie constant volume, bulk material failure of incompressible
hyperelastic elastomers in multiaxial loading conditions is presented. The present work …

Cavitation in rubber-like materials is commonly known as sudden void growth under
hydrostatic tension till material failure occurs. Experimental investigations of adhesives, eg …

To enable the introduction of new developments and concepts of bonded glass in façades,
finite element modelling is a frequently used method. The implementation of the complex …

The deformation and failure behavior of rubbers is significantly influenced by the chemical
composition and loading conditions. Investigations on how specific loading parameters …

The present paper proposes two methodologies of identifying hyperelastic material
parameters of thin structural silicones based on so-called direct and inverse methods. Based …
