The growth in the number of logistics platforms served by road, rail, waterway, and sea is a logical consequence of the extensive and rapid development of merchandise trade in a globalized economy. Transportand logistics are part of the same activity chain that allowsgoods to be transported to their destination. Dependent on the requirements of their customers and suppliers and subject to strong competition,companies...
3D core sandwich structure (3DCSS) is a popular lightweightconstruction material in the automotive,aerospace and marine industries. However, barely visible low-speed impact-damage (BVLID) may occurin the 3DCSS due to foreign-object-impact that can significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of thestructure. This paper presents a guided wave (GW) propagation based BVLID identification technique...
This paper considers results of an analysis of self-hardening systems (SHS), i.e. load-carrying systemswith improved strength and rigidity. The indicated structural features can be only found if geometricalnonlinearity is taken into consideration. Material deforming diagrams can be non-monotonic and non-smooth, and constraints can be unilateral, with gaps. Furthermore, optimisation of a mathematical...
Passive earth pressure is an important element in integral bridge design. Due to the integral connection between bridge deck and abutments, the integral bridge expansion and contraction under temperature action causes abutments to move together with the deck. With temperature varying in time, this also causes varying earth pressures acting on the abutments. Abutments are generally being designed to...
