Formability Characterization of Sheet Metals using the Angular Stretch Bend Test
(University of Waterloo, 2023-06-15)This thesis investigates the mechanics of the angular stretch bend test (ASBT) and analytical models using three different advanced high strength steels (AHSS) and finite element simulation. The three steels, 590R, 3rd Gen ... -
Investigating the effects of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer fabrics and bars on the flexural behaviour of sawn timber and glulam beams
(University of Waterloo, 2023-09-11)As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue worldwide, the buildings and construction industry remains to be a significant contributor to global carbon emissions. To address this, construction materials with ... -
Progressive-Failure Analysis of Steel Building Structures under Abnormal Loads
(University of Waterloo, 2007-04-18)Engineered structures are designed to resist all expected loadings without failure. However, structural failures do occasionally occur due to inadequate design and construction, especially for extreme and abnormal loads. ... -
A Strain Energy Function for Large Deformations of Curved Beams
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-05)This thesis develops strain and kinetic energy functions and a finite beam element useful for analyzing curved beams which go through large deflections, such as a hockey stick being swung and bent substantially as it hits ...
