Prediction of the pull-out strength of chemical anchorsin natural stone
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 29
Abstract
The applicability of some numerical models for the prediction of the failure mechanism and of thebearing capacity of post-installed threaded rods chemically anchored in basalt, sandstone and limestone isinvestigated, as well as the reliability of theoretical formulations conceived for concrete.The numerical predictions, performed by means of engineering structural analysis software and advancednumerical codes, are compared with the results of an experimental research related to chemical anchors innatural stone. The minimum embedment depth for such fastening system is identified.

A numerical study of squeeze-film damping in MEMS-based structures including rarefaction effects
In a variety of MEMS applications, the thin film of fluid responsible of squeeze-film damping results to be rarefied and, thus, not suitable to be modeled though the classical Navier-Stokes equation. The simplest w...

Biodegradable stents are attracting the attention of many researchers in biomedical and materialsresearch fields since they can absolve their specific function for the expected period of time and then graduallydisa...
Damages to stent stabilized left ventricular pacemaker electrodes during simulated lead extraction
During biventricular pacemaker implantation stents can be applied for coronary sinus lead stabilization to prevent lead dislocations. A lot of issues have been raised in connection with the use of the stent. In some case...
On fatigue behavior of two spring steels. Part I: Wöhler curves and fractured surfaces
Symmetric fatigue in two spring steels is investigated in three groups of specimens. One of the groups (Steel EN10270-1SH/ DIN 17223C – C 0.82%, Mn 0.76%, Si 0.26%) has experienced rotating-bending fatigue in...
