Abstract This paper examines the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete under cyclic compression using the 3D cohesive zone model (CZM). A numerical modeling method was developed, employing zero-thickness cohesive elements to represent the stress-displacement relationship of concrete potential fracture surfaces and FRP-concrete interfaces. Additionally, mixed-mode damage plastic constitutive models were proposed for the concrete potential fracture surfaces and FRP-concrete interface, considering interfacial friction. Furthermore, an anisotropic plastic constitutive model was developed for the FRP composite jacket. The CZM model proposed in this study was validated using experimental data from plain concrete and large More >

Abstract A numerical analysis for the effect of a cylinder diameter on the state quantities for the irreversible process in a piston-cylinder system was conducted using the LB1S model. The numerical method is based on the ALE method. The cylinder-diameter range of D=0.01 m to 0.10 m was chosen. The effect of the cylinder-diameter on the state quantities was slight in the single compression with the piston velocity of -10 m/s. The ratio of the average pressure to the pressure of the reversible process at the end of the first cycle ranged from 1.00023 to 1.00462 in More >
