Study on the Preparation and Fracture Behavior of Red Mud-Yellow Phosphorus Slag-Based Concrete by Xianhai Li, Qin Zhang, Song Mao, Longjiang Li, Jingbo Wang

“…Red mud-yellow phosphorous slag-cement concrete (RM-YPS-CC) is prepared with 25% yellow phosphorus slag content (YPSC) and 10% red mud content (RMC) to replace a portion of the cement at the age of 28 days and was found in this study to satisfy the mechanical property requirements. More ettringite and portlandite were generated with the RM-YPS-CC than with the yellow phosphorous slag-cement concrete (YPS-CC). …”

Use of combined CZM and XFEM techniques for the patch shape performance analysis on the behavior of a 2024-T3 Aluminum structure reinforced with a composite patch by Safa Chahrazad Djebbar, Nadia Kaddouri, Mohamed ElAjrami, Mohamed Belhouari, Kouider Madani

“…The presence of a geometric discontinuity such as a crack or a notch can cause the failure of a structure during its use. Under various mechanical or thermal stresses, a high concentration of stresses can take place at the level of these discontinuities, which in most cases will lead to the total failure of the structure. …”
