It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can cause serious ...

Understanding the cyclic loading and fatigue behaviour of piping systems is critical for ensuring the integrity and safety of industrial, power, and nuclear installations. Piping components, ...

Material or structural failures are typically the result of two types of loading modes: a single (static) load that results in failure or a repeated (cyclic) load that causes the material or structure ...

The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...

The resilience of modern structures under seismic and lateral forces is highly dependent on the performance of slab‐column connections. These joints are critical for transferring loads effectively ...
