Rheological redistribution of stresses in multi-layered beams

Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2010, Vol 1, Issue 5

Abstract

The paper concerns problems of rheology in wooden structures reinforced with polyester-glass composite bars glued to them by means of epoxy resin. A theoretical model of the behaviour of a multi-layered beam is presented. The component materials of this beam are described with equations for linear viscoelastic media (five- and sixparameter rheological models). The Bernoulli’s plane sections hypothesis has been assumed and this assumption includes the statement that the particular layers are perfectly composed with no allowances for creep. Equations for stresses have been derived. To verify the elaborated theoretical model, a program of experimental tests has been prepared. The performed calculations have revealedthat the theoretical model is consistent with the experimental data. The redistribution of stresses occurs in the beam, also when global loads are constant in time.<br/><br/>
