TL;DR: In this article, the impact and embedding of successive bursts of 362μm angular SiC abrasives onto a 6061-T6 aluminum target were modeled using a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of large-deformation finite-element analysis with a small-strain finite element analysis to model the failure of skirted shallow foundations in uplift and compression with a range of embedment between 10 and 50% of the foundation diameter.
Abstract: Large-deformation finite-element analysis has been used to model the undrained response of skirted shallow foundations in uplift and compression. Large-deformation effects involve changes in embedment ratio and operative local soil shear strength with increasing foundation displacement—either in tension or compression. Centrifuge model testing has shown that these changes in geometry affect the mobilized bearing capacity and the kinematic mechanisms governing failure in undrained uplift and compression. Small-strain finite-element analysis cannot by definition capture the effects of changing foundation embedment ratio and variation in local soil strength with foundation displacement. In this paper, load-displacement relationships, ultimate capacities, and kinematic mechanisms governing failure from large-deformation finite-element analyses are compared with centrifuge model test results for circular skirted foundations with a range of embedment between 10 and 50% of the foundation diameter. The re...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the impact of the incorporation of smart materials in a conventional composite laminate and compare the benefits and disadvantages of the embedding of a piezo element in a laminate.

TL;DR: In this article, a total of 15 pull-out tests were conducted on steel reinforcing bars with various embedment lengths and the applied load, slip at the loaded end and strains along the embedment length of steel reinforcement were measured during testing.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pile embedment on the development length of 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter prestressing strands was investigated. But the main objective of this investigation was to determine the required embedment length of strands in piles, so that the ultimate flexural moment can be developed without strand end slippage.
Abstract: Nineteen 14 in. (356 mm) square prestressed concrete piles were tested to study the effect of pile embedment on the development length of 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter prestressing strands. The primary objective of this investigation was to determine the required embedment length of strands in piles, so that the ultimate flexural moment can be developed without strand end slippage. In this study, equations for development length in the AASHTO Specifications and ACI Code were evaluated. Also examined were the general bond slip and the maximum average bond stress at failure.
