Abstract In order to study the axial compression characteristics of brick masonry historical buildings, and to better protect and repair traditional mortar-brick masonry historical buildings, axial compression tests were carried out on three kinds of restored mortar (pure mud mortar, pure mortar, and mud mortar) brick masonry with restored mortar brick masonry as the object of study. The damage modes, axial compression chemical indexes (compressive strength and elastic modulus), load-displacement curves and stress-strain curves of the three kinds of restored mortar brick masonry were obtained. The experimental results show that the compressive strength of mud mortar… More >

Abstract Engineered bamboo has recently received lots of attention of civil engineers and professional researchers due to its better mechanical performance than that of softwood timber. Parallel strand bamboo is one important part of engineered bamboo for its excellent durable performance compared to the laminated veneer bamboo. The required curing temperature in hot-pressing process is usually higher than 120°C to reduce the content of nutritional ingredients and hemy cellulose, and to avoid the decay from the environment and insects. Nonetheless, the appearance of engineered bamboo gets darker with the increase of temperature during the hot-pressing process.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Anhysteretic, coupled, linear and nonlinear constitutive relationship for magnetostrictive material is studied in this paper. Constitutive relationships of magnetostrictive material are represented through two equations, one for actuation and other for sensing, both of which are coupled through magneto-mechanical coefficient. Coupled model is studied without assuming any explicit direct relationship with magnetic field. In linear-coupled model, which is assumed to preserve the magnetic flux line continuity, the elastic modulus, the permeability and magneto-elastic constant are assumed as constant. In nonlinear-coupled model, the nonlinearity is decoupled and solved separately for the magnetic domain and mechanical domain More >
