Dynamic Stress-Strain Behaviour of Steel Fiber Reinforced High-Performance Concrete with Fly Ash by Tan Chien Yet, R. Hamid, Mudiono Kasmuri

“…The mechanical behaviors of steel fiber reinforced high-performance concrete with fly ash (SFRHPFAC) are studied in this paper through both static compression test and dynamic impact test. Cylindrical and cube specimens with three volume fractions of end-hooked steel fibers with volume fraction of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% (39.25, 78.50, and 117.75 kg/m3) and aspect ratio of 64 are used. …”

RESEARCH ON BENDING FATIGUE TEST BASED ON 42CRMO GEAR (MT) by WANG JiaJun, PEI WeiChi, JI HongChao, LONG HaiYang, WANG ZhiTao

“…Then the finite element method was used to simulate the bending fatigue test of gear. The static strength at the root of the gear tooth is compared with the theoretical value, and the analysis shows that the numerical simulation results are basically consistent with the theoretical analysis results, which can be used as the basis of fatigue life simulation of bending fatigue test. …”

Tensile Behavior of Polyetheretherketone over a Wide Range of Strain Rates by Zakaria El-Qoubaa, Ramzi Othman

“…Nevertheless, the tensile behavior has only been studied in the quasi-static range of loading rates. To address the lack of data in the impact strain rate range, the tensile mechanical behavior of PEEK is investigated at room temperature over a large range of strain rates (from 0.001 to 1000/s). …”

Mechanism of Vibration Energy Action on Dynamic Instability of Shock-Type Rockburst Carrier System by Lyu Pengfei, Cui Xuekai

“…Then, the energy of mine earthquake was quantitatively characterized in the form of kinetic energy of rock block. Through the combination of the two parameters, the energy criterion of shock-type rockburst was obtained as follows: once the energy of mine earthquake acting on the rockburst source area was 2%–9% of the static energy, shock-type rockburst can occur. …”
