Study on Deformation Characteristics of Extended Highway in Operation Period by Pengfei Zhou, Lizhuang Cui, Xuesen Zhang, Chuanyi Ma, Jian Liu, Yanni Shao, Gaohang Lv, Quanyi Xie

“…The main conclusions are as follows: (1) with the increase of traffic load and subgrade depth, the elastic modulus changes significantly in the early stage and small in the later stage. (2) Under the condition of no treatment measures, the vertical and horizontal deformation of the subgrade surface show a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the distance from the center line of the subgrade. (3) Setting geogrid and geocell can effectively reduce the differential settlement of the old and new subgrades. (4) The effect of setting geogrid to reduce the differential settlement of old and new subgrades is better than that of setting geogrid.…”

Computer-aided simulation of unmanned aerial vehicle composite structure dynamics by Artur Kierzkowski, Tomasz Kisiel, Maciej Milewski, Ádám Török, Michał Stosiak, Jakub Wróbel

“…Ten layers of 0.1 mm thick carbon fibre were incorporated into the model to create a 1 mm thick composite plate, with fibres oriented at 0°, 30°, 45°, and 90° relative to the horizontal direction of the plate. The simulations demonstrated that careful consideration and modelling of the material significantly impact the values of natural frequencies and, more importantly, the mode shapes. …”

Modeling of low-frequency acoustic NDE to detect delaminations in multilayer polymer-composite structures by Shun Hsyung Chang, Sergey Shevtsov, Valeriy Chebanenko, Natalie Snezhina

“…The dispersion analysis of antisymmetric (A0) and symmetric (S0) Lamb waves and horizontally polarized shear waves (SH0) for such a panel, with given engineering constants, and subsequent finite element (FE) study showed that only A0 waves generated at sound frequencies can be used for delamination diagnostics by registering of out-of-plane velocities at surface points of the tested structure using a simple laser vibrometer. …”
