TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to generate the complete stress-strain curve experimentally for steel-fiber reinforced concrete for compressive strength ranging from 30 to 50 MPa.

TL;DR: In this paper, the variation in impact resistance of steel fiber-reinforced concrete and plain concrete as determined from a drop weight test is reported, and the observed coefficients of variation are about 57 and 46% for first-crack resistance and the ultimate resistance in the case of fiber concrete and the corresponding values for plain concrete are 54 and 51%, respectively.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the toughness of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) based on the Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) approach and found that there is a good correlation between the fiber reinforcing index and the calculated toughness factor.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration characteristics of laminated composite and sandwich plates with embedded and/or surface-bonded piezoelectric layers are studied, where a hybrid plate theory is proposed for modelling the structural system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a four noded plate element based on a refined higher order shear deformation theory is developed for the analysis of composite and sandwich plates, which satisfies the conditions of inter-laminar shear stress continuity and stress free top and bottom surfaces of the plate.
