Deformation and fracture of 3D printed disordered lattice materials: Experiments and modeling

A method is presented to model deformation and fracture behavior of 3D printed disordered lattice materials under uniaxial tensile load. A lattice model was used to predict crack pattern and load-displacement response of the printed lattice materials. To include the influence of typical layered structures of 3D printed materials in the...

Experimental and numerical study on mechanical properties of cement paste pipes subjected to uniaxial tensile loading

The aim of this paper is to investigate the mechanical properties of cement paste specimens by both experimental and numerical methods. Firstly, the specimens subjected to uniaxial tensile loading were studied experimentally. Afterwards, numerical investigation was carried out based on the experimental observations. Two types of specimens...
