Damage Assessment of Two-Way Bending RC Slabs Subjected to Blast Loadings by Haokai Jia, Ling Yu, Guiying Wu

“…Terrorist attacks on vulnerable structures and their individual structural members may cause considerable damage and loss of life. However, the research work on response and damage analysis of single structural components, for example, a slab to blast loadings, is limited in the literature and this is necessary for assessing its vulnerability. …”

Damage Assessment in a SiC-fiber reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composite by Konstantinos G. Dassios, Theodore E. Matikas

“…Notched specimens were used in order to limit material damage within a predefined gauge length. Imposition of successive unloading/reloading loops was found to result in an increase by 20% in material strength as compared to pure tension; the observed increase is attributed to energy dissipation from large-scale interfacial debonding phenomena that dominated the post-elastic tensile behaviour of the composite. …”
