Study on Mechanical Properties and Optimum Fiber Content for Basalt/Polyacrylonitrile Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete by Zhenhai Zeng, Chuanxi Li, Zhuoyi Chen, Lu Ke

“…The compressive strength, compressive modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, flexural capacity, and bending stress-strain curves of concrete with different fiber volumes were obtained, and the coefficient of hybrid effect and the ratio of toughness were calculated accordingly. The results show that the addition of fiber has little effect on the compressive modulus of elasticity of concrete, and the tensile strength, flexural strength, and toughness ratio are significantly increased, but the compressive strength is slightly decreased. …”

3D Analyses of crack propagation in torsion by D. Shiozawa, I. Serrano-Munoz, S. Dancette, C. Verdu, J. Lachambre, J.-Y. Buffiere

“…In situ 3D monitoring of torsion fatigue tests using synchrotron X-ray tomography reveal that propagation towards the interior of the samples occurs first along the sample periphery in mode II leading to relatively shallow cracks which penetrate towards the sample center only after a large number of cycles is reached .The values of mode I, II and III stress intensity factors have been calculated from finite element simulation at the tip of the shallow mode II crack. …”
