Experimental Mechanics of Crack Width in Full-Scale Sections of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements
Continuously reinforced concrete pavements have numerous transverse cracks that occur naturally at variable spacing. These cracks do not affect the performance of the structure unless they widen and result in a loss of load transfer efficiency. The capacity to transfer vertical loads across a crack …

Bayesian Estimation of Material Properties in Case of Correlated and Insufficient Data
… availability and its application to the field of experimental mechanics. Bayesian approaches as Markov-chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods demonstrated to be reliable and suitable tools to process data, describing probability distributions and uncertainty bounds for investigated parameters in absence …

Improvements in digital image correlation and application in material mechanical test
… it has been widely applied in the area of experimental mechanics. In this study, DIC algorithm has been improved in the aspects of the pixel-level searching method and reference frame update strategy. The feature matching based method is proposed to provide an initial guess for all points …

Biomechanical structure-function relationships of collagen tissues, B Cell membranes, and amyloid fibers
… systems). This work combines theoretical and experimental mechanics to gain insights into the physiological function of three biological systems at distinct length scales: collagen tissues comprised of wavy fibers (~ 1 mm), B lymphocyte membranes (~ 1 [mu]m), and amyloid protein fibers (~ 1 …

A design protocol for failure resilient architected metamaterials
… to usual continuum solids, without a-posteriori experimental validation. In fact, all existing experimental measurements are based on metamaterial specimens comprising only dozens to at most a few hundred unit cells where the so called “K-field” required to define an effective toughness is not …
