Strands produced from small-diameter timbers of lodgepole and ponderosa pine were used to fabricate a composite sandwich structure as a replacement for traditional building envelope materials, such as roofing. It is beneficial to develop models that are verified to predict the behavior of these sandwich structures under typical service loads. When used for building envelopes, these structural panels are subjected to bending due to wind, snow, live, and dead loads during their service life. The objective of this study was to develop a theoretical and a finite element (FE) model to evaluate the elastic bending behavior of the wood-strand composite sandwich panel with a biaxial corrugated core. The effect of shear deformation was shown to be negligible by applying two theoretical models, the Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories. Tensile tests were conducted to obtain the material properties as inputs into the models. Predicted bending stiffness of the sandwich panels using Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko, and FE models differed from the experimental results by 3.6%, 5.2%, and 6.5%, respectively. Using FE and theoretical models, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to explore the effect of change in bending stiffness due to intrinsic variation in material properties of the wood composite material.

AbstractAn integrated, experimental-computational approach is presented to analyze the variation of elastic bending behavior in the primary cell wall of living Arabidopsis thaliana pavement cells and to measure turgor pressure in the cells quantitatively under different osmotic conditions. Mechanical properties, size and geometry of cells and internal turgor pressure greatly influence their morphogenesis. Computational models of plant morphogenesis require values for wall elastic modulus and turgor pressure but very few experiments were designed to validate the results using measurements that deform the entire thickness of the cell wall. Because new wall material is deposited from inside the cell, full-thickness deformations are needed to quantify relevant changes associated with cell development. The approach here uses laser scanning confocal microscopy to measure the three-dimensional geometry of a single pavement cell, and indentation experiments equipped with high magnification objective lens to probe the local mechanical responses across the same cell wall. These experimental results are matched iteratively using a finite element model of the experiment to determine the local mechanical properties, turgor pressure, and cell height. The resulting modulus distribution along the periclinal wall is shown to be nonuniform. These results are consistent with the characteristics of plant cell walls which have a heterogeneous organization. This research and the resulting model will provide a reference for future work associated with the heterogeneity and anisotropy of mechanical properties of plant cell walls in order to understand morphogenesis of the primary cell walls during growth and to predict quantitatively the magnitudes/directions of cell wall forces.One sentence summaryThe distribution of elastic modulus of the periclinal cell walls of livingArabidopsis epidermis is nonuniform as measured by bending the entire thickness of the wall.HighlightsExperimental characterization of the spatial distribution of elastic bending behavior across the periclinal wallQuantification of the turgor pressure of the living plant epidermal cells validated with osmotic treatmentsQuantification of the effect of cell geometry on the measured mechanical responseGraphical abstract

The laser bendability of thick aluminum sheets has been scarcely investigated previously; in this article this property was evaluated for sheets of 5005 aluminum alloy by means of a high power diode laser. In the experimentation, the width of the sample to bend was changed as well as laser power and scan rate. The effect of other process parameters was also investigated; the surface aspect and the sample orientation with regard to the rolling direction. Mechanical tests and surface analyses were performed before and after laser testing so as to deepen the laser-material interaction. A thermal numerical model was also implemented to study the effect of the laser power on the laser beam absorption during processing. As a result, a good bendability of the 5005 alloy sheets was observed though many parameters need to be considered for the process control. A simple process map for line bending can be extracted from experimental data only if some of those parameters are fixed; above all the sample orientation. These results are found to be significant in better understanding the bending behavior of thick aluminum sheets with high density laser power when a complex interaction between process and material parameters is present.
