Low-Velocity Impact-Load-Carrying Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened in Flexure by Bonding a Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Sheet to the Tension-Side Surface by Tomoki Kawarai, Masato Komuro, Norimitsu Kishi

“…Usually, the existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures are strengthened by applying steel plate bonding and concrete enlargement methods. However, since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have properties that are better than those of steel and concrete materials, i.e., being light weight, with anticorrosive material, a high ratio of strength to weight, and better workability, FRP sheet bonding methods for RC members have been developed, and practical applications have been gradually increased worldwide, statically. …”

Interplay between precipitate evolution and abnormal grain growth in electrical steel during high temperature annealing by Xukai Zhang, Jamo Momand, Gert H. ten Brink, Stefan Melzer, Sytze de Graaf, Jan Wormann, Harini Pattabhiraman, Winfried Kranendonk, Bart J. Kooi

“…Scanning/Transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) results show that three types of precipitates are present in the steel: type I - large irregular core-shell (Mn,Cu)S-(Al,Si)N precipitates; type II - medium-size six-sided prismatic AlN-based precipitates ((Al,Si)N-(Mn,Si)N or (Al,Si)N–CuS); type III - small spherical Cu2-xS (0<x < 0.6) precipitates. A novel method (30 kV high angle annular dark field (HAADF) - SEM image stitching in transmission mode) is employed to quantitatively obtain accurate size distribution of type II precipitates between 10 and 100 nm over large areas, and distinct areas with high and low number densities of type II precipitates are observed. …”
