We are interested at this work in the prestressing by pre-tensioning of Ultra High-Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) with Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer...

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are active materials that exhibit special properties such as pseudoelasticity and memory effect. These properties are resulting from...

L'application de méthodes électrochimiques de protection contre la corrosion (protection cathodique et déchloruration) en présence d'armatures de précontrainte est...

For members and flat slabs without shear reinforcement, the shear and punching shear strength are often the determining design criteria. These failure modes are...

This thesis is devoted to the modeling of elastic wave propagation in helical waveguides subjected to axial loads. Non destructive testing (NDT) of springs and...

Many applications involve coupling between prestressed solids and fluids (possibly flowing). Typical problems might be given by vibroacoustics of fluid-filled...

The goal of this paper is to numerically investigate the effect of prestress on the propagation of elastic waves in straight and helical waveguides. The simulation...

Guided waves are used to control large components such as plates and tubes. They have the advantage to spread over long distances with little loss of energy. Because...
