Delamination is a common type of damage in laminated fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. As FRP composites are becoming popular in upgrading and strengthening of civil concrete structures, the specific delamination damage, i.e., the FRP-concrete debonding, is considered more critical than inter-laminar delamination occurring in the FRP composites. A finite element formulation on the FRP-bonded concrete plate with this type of delamination fault is developed in the context of non-destructive evaluation from vibration measurements and compared with a two-layer solid element model. An adhesive interface where possible debonding could occur is introduced between the FRP and the concrete plates. A scalar damage parameter characterizing the delamination is incorporated into the formulation of a finite element model that is compatible with the vibration-based damage identification procedure. The formulated model is then applied to the prediction of FRP-concrete delaminations from modal test results based on the sensitivity analysis of uniform load surface curvature, which has been previously proposed by the authors. The validity of the methodology is demonstrated in two numerical examples. The first one is used to check the model accuracy, while the second one assesses the efficiency of the model-based identification method.

Numerous finite element methods have been widely used to predict the response of normal/high strength concrete columns confined with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) under different loading conditions. In this regard, simulating the response of FRP-confined reactive powder concrete (RPC) columns has been less emphasized. The present study aimed to propose a finite element model based on fiber finite element methodology in order to predict the behavior of FRP confined RPC columns under axial compressive load with different eccentricities. The columns were modeled with a nonlinear beam-column element with two nodes with distributed plasticity. In addition, the proposed finite element model in the present study indicated its simplicity, low computational efforts, and flexibility by adopting a perfect bond between RPC and FRP. Further, the obtained results from the finite element analysis were compared to those from available tested specimens. Based on the comparisons, the proposed model can provide highly satisfactory predictions. Finally, the proposed model can be useful for efficient applications in practical engineering projects.

Directive Function

The oil-immersed transformer tank is an outside package component of the transformer body. The sealing quality and mechanical strength of the oil tank are affected by the deformation after loading. In this paper, the 3D finite element model of oil-immersed transformer tank is established. The oil-immersed transformer tank deformation is obtained by FEA under the condition of vacuuming. A series of experiments about the deformation of the oil-immersed transformer tank are carried out. Comparing experiment results with FEA results, FEA results are agrees well with the experiments’. It can save the time consumed on designing the oil tank, and has the directive function for the whole design.

Active Twist

The design methodology based on the planning of experiments and response surface technique has been developed for an optimum placement of Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators in the helicopter rotor blades. The baseline helicopter rotor blade consists of D‐spar made of UD GFRP, skin made of +450/‐450 GFRP, foam core, MFC actuators placement on the skin and balance weight. 3D finite element model of the rotor blade has been built by ANSYS, where the rotor blade skin and spar “moustaches” are modeled by the linear layered structural shell elements SHELL99, and the spar and foam ‐ by 3D 20‐node structural solid elements SOLID 186. The thermal analyses of 3D finite element model have been developed to investigate an active twist of the helicopter rotor blade. Strain analogy between piezoelectric strains and thermally induced strains is used to model piezoelectric effects. The optimisation results have been obtained for design solutions, connected with the application of active materials, and checked by the finite element calculations.
