TL;DR: In this article, the effects of embedded fiber optics (FO) on the mechanical properties of a graphite/epoxy composite host material were studied, and the results showed no distinct influence of FO on failure strength or modulus, but did open questions on the coupled effects of processing history, FO embedment, and failure strength.
Abstract: The effects of embedded fiber optics (FO) on the mechanical properties of a graphite/epoxy composite host material were studied. Optical fibers 125 micrometers and 240 micrometers in diameter were embedded in AS4/3501-6 graphite/epoxy, and the static performance of the material was evaluated. FO were placed in the midplane of the specimens both parallel and perpendicular to the loading direction. The mechanical tests included O degree(s) compression, 90 degree(s) tension, (0, +/- 45, 90)S tension, and first ply failure of (O2, 902)S specimens. Microstructural analysis of the fracture surfaces showed little influence of the FO on crack initiation or propagation. Test results showed no distinct influence of the FO on failure strength or modulus, but did open questions on the coupled effects of processing history, FO embedment, and failure strength.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a series of plane strain, 1:100 scale centrifuge model tests on berm-supported embedded retaining walls in overconsolidated clay are presented.
Abstract: Earth berms are often used for the temporary support of embedded retaining walls, but there is a lack of information concerning the factors that influence their behaviour. In this paper, the results of a series of plane strain, 1:100 scale centrifuge model tests on berm-supported embedded retaining walls in overconsolidated clay are presented. It is shown that earth berms will probably be more effective in reducing soil and wall movements than an increase in the depth of wall embedment; that an increase in the depth of embedment of a wall of given stiffness supported by a berm of a given size will lead to an increase in wall bending moments, but only a small reduction in wall and soil movements; and that the presence of the berm in limiting wall movements and possibly preventing collapse becomes more significant as drainage occurs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented numerical results showing the dynamic stresses (circumferential and axial) in buried pipe are presented using the analysis presented in the accompanying paper (Part I) and showed significant dependence on depth of embedment, properties of the surrounding ground and frequency and wavelength of the incident wave.
Abstract: Using the analysis presented in the accompanying paper (Part I) numerical results showing the dynamic stresses (circumferential and axial) in buried pipe are presented. Incident plane seismic waves considered are: longitudinal (P), vertically (SV), and horizontally (SH) polarized shear, and Rayleigh (R) waves. Results show significant dependence on depth of embedment, properties of the surrounding ground, and frequency and wavelength of the incident wave.

TL;DR: In this paper, three kinds of static loading test methods were introduced by referencing three offshore wind farms in China, and the results showed that the O-cell test can successfully determine the axial compression capacity and uplift capacity by the proposed conversion method.
