Bonded joints have important benefits over conventional joining techniques such as rivets, welding, bolts and nuts in structural applications, particularly for components prepared of composite or polymeric materials. Due to the involvement of many geometric, material and construction variables, and the complex fracture and mechanical modes offered in the bonded joints, a proper consideration of fracture behavior is required to fully achieve their benefits. The fractures in bonded joints are mainly of three types; interlaminar (delamination), adhesive (interfacial) and cohesive crack. For a particular defect, crack propagation may occur in the tensile (mode I), the shear (mode II), and the tear (mode III) and their combinations (mixed mode). This study deals with topics such as theories of bonded composite joints and repairs, finite element analysis and fracture-based analysis and tests of mixed-mode cohesive, interfacial and interlaminar fracture mechanics. By employing geometrical factors extracted from finite element analysis and experimental results obtained from a modified Arcan test fixture, the mixed-mode cohesive, interfacial, and interlaminar fracture toughness are determined and fracture surfaces obtained are discussed.

The article deals with stress separation using different experimental techniques and their comparison to numerical and theoretical solutions. The method is applied to a keyhole sample coupon, to which measurements of fringe order, temperature or displacement were made using photo-elasticity, TSA (Thermo-elastic Stress Analysis) and DIC (Digital Image Correlation). The results are compared to FEM simulations (Finite Element Method) using the stress concentration factor (Kt) as a benchmark. Additionally, an Airy stress function is proposed and tested against obtained measurements. The comparison of Kt shows agreement among measurements as well as numerical and theoretical results. It is concluded that the presented method can be used for isotropic materials subjected to the plane stress, where stress variation through-thickness is negligible.

The problems of protecting equipment, structures and operators from the harmful effects of vibrations are among the most painful topics of modern mechanical engineering. In this research an original design of a friction shock absorber is presented in which the principle of operation is based on the contact interaction of a package of open shells with weakly compressible deformable filler. The proposed design is simple and technologically advanced, suitable for operation under high dynamic loads and at the same time has a compact transverse dimension. Such shock absorbers are projected to be used in the mining and oil and gas industries. A finite element model of a friction shock absorber with two contact pairs has been constructed: the first contact pair is "filler - package of open shells"; the second contact pair is "inner shell of the package - outer shell". The contacting bodies were presented as separate arrays of finite elements and the conditions of frictional interaction on the contact surfaces were set in the form of Coulomb's law. We considered the behavior of such a structurally nonlinear system under the action of a monotonic and nonmonotonic load. In the course of the study, the main operational characteristics of the shock absorber including the strength, rigidity, hysteresis characteristics and natural frequencies were determined. The possibility of adjusting the rigidity and shock-absorbing characteristics of the proposed device is discussed.

A study of the stress-strain state (SSS) of disc specimens has been conducted when testing specimens with stress concentrators (grooves). The research has shown that the truncation of circular discs along two symmetrical chords makes it possible to change the type (the ratio of principal stresses) of SSS that occurs at the destruction site. Therefore, these specimens can be used to assess the structural strength of materials on standard single-drive testing machines, taking into account the real type of SSS that occurs in the bearing elements of machines. The results of numerical SSS modeling have been used to build the dependences of the SSS type and level on geometric parameters of specimens. Geometrical parameters can be chosen for a certain SSS type to assess both the static and fatigue strengths of materials used in the manufacture of bearing elements.

Nowadays, the significant demand for concrete has become a problem in concrete using aggregate from waste. Using standard concrete is recommended to reduce the breakdown of buildings. Unfortunately, standard materials used to produce previous concrete are not entirely environmentally friendly. As a result, many researchers have committed their awareness to identifying eco-friendlier substitutions in manufacturing concrete substitution aggregate from waste. In this respect, this paper discussed the proposed efficient procedure to indicate the compressive strength from mixed proportioning cockle shell, glass powder, and epoxy resin as concrete under hot water curing conditions (60°C, 4 hr) using response surface methodology. The experimental design used in this research uses a response surface methodology. There are three aggregates to be investigated, namely cockle shell powder, glass powder and epoxy resin under hot water curing condition (60°C, 4 hr). Under hot water curing conditions, this research discovered that adding 4.0% cockle shell powder and 10.0 % glass powder increased the compressive strength to 104.68 MPa. On the other hand, 4.0% cockle shell powder, 10.0% glass powder and 2% epoxy resin under hot water curing conditions improved the compressive strength to 115.70 MPa. It was therefore inferred that the use of both cockle shell powder and glass powder to produce cleaner and compressive strength concrete is applicable, both mechanically and environmentally.

A fire fighting and rescue motorcycle fitted with a fire fighting and rescue vehicle cluster on the vehicle's suspension will change the vehicle's center of gravity, affecting the vehicle's stability during travel. By modeling the kinematics in the planar motion of a two-wheeled motorcycle with 4 degrees of freedom, the paper has built a system of differential equations for the planar motion of the vehicle. Investigate the influence of the installation position of the vehicle cluster, the road surface collision, and the vehicle's speed on the loading and unloading of the vehicle in the process of moving in a straight line. The test results evaluate the reliability of the theoretical model.

In order to improve distillate water, this paper presents a study of the solar dome system that is considered as one of the most important economical solutions in the domain of drinking water production. For this, a mathematical model was built from equations describing the optical and thermal phenomenon involved in this process. The concentration of radiation and the heat flow were simulated in each 0.1m² of the dome which using the metrological parameters of Morocco’s region Rabat-Salé-Kenitra. The results can follow the evolution of the temperature of glass, salt water, point dew temperature, saturation pressure and evaporation rate as well as humidity reached in August month for the study zone. For this, a numerical implementation on Matlab and Ansys are compared with measurements for the same parameters showed in the domain study of single slope. The comparison results are more significant by the rise of the ray concentration rate reached until 99% if the inclination angle of the heliostat divided into three intervals. The saturation pressure increases as long as with the rate of evaporation and the humidity that produces ordinary daily fresh water.

Tendons transmit forces from muscles to bones through joints. Typically, tendons and muscles work together to innovate a particular type of motion. Therefore, in order for the tendons to find attachment to the bones, they are naturally adapted as much thinner strands than the muscles that they serve. Thus, they are often subjected to much higher stresses than the muscles that they actually serve in any given action. As a result, tendons are susceptible to injuries that may lead to a permanent dysfunction in joint mobility due to the fact that the scar tissue that forms after healing does not often have the same mechanical properties of the original tissue. It is, therefore, very important to understand the mechanical response of tendons. This paper examines the performances of two viscoelastic standard nonlinear models in modelling the elastic and plastic behaviour of the tendon in the light of a well-known hyperelastic Yeoh model. The use of the Yeoh model is more for validating the performances of the viscoelastic models within the elastic region rather than for comparison purposes. Yeoh model’s selection was based on its superior performance in modelling the elastic phase of soft tissue as reported in previous studies combined with its simplicity. The results show that the two standard nonlinear solid models perform extremely well both in fitting accuracies and in correlating stress results. The most promising result is the fact that the two standard nonlinear models can model tendon behaviour in the nonlinear plastic region. It is also noted that the two standard nonlinear models are physically insightful since their optimisation parameters can be easily interpreted in terms of tendon elasticity and viscoelastic parameters.
