Carbon nanotubes cement composites
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 18
Abstract
The present paper reviews the current state of the art of carbon nanotubes cement-based composites and the possible applications. The influence of carbon nanotubes additions onto cement paste mechanical and electrical properties are discussed in detail. Though promising, several challenges have still to be solved before the introduction of these new materials into the public sphere through civil infrastructures.

Multiaxial fatigue assessment of crankshafts by local stress and critical plane approach
For multiaxially-loaded parts several stress-based fatigue assessment concepts are applicable mostly taking uniaxial test results as basis. These approaches work well in case of proportional loading states, but on...
Estimation of fatigue life of selected construction materials under cyclic loading
In the literature, there are many criteria of multiaxial fatigue. They are based on various assumptions and parameters describing the process of fatigue. Among them, there is a special group of criteria based on...
