Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…Through previous experimental investigations, it was found that FRP-concrete bond interface contains diverse traction-separation performance in mode I and mode II fracture. To continuously describe the fracture behaviour from mode I to mode II under a dynamic loading, current study proposed a coupled dynamic cohesive zone model (CZM) to analyse FRP-concrete mixed-mode separation. …”

PC-based software for thermal design of helixchanger heat exchangers by Fong, Lin Qiang

“…The executable software provides the user with the choice of either the “Learner” or the “Advanced” mode. With the “Learner” mode, there is a step-by-step guide for the user to learn how each method works, whereas in the “Advanced” mode, the user simply keys in the data and results can then be generated. …”
