Summary: This study investigates the influence of the reinforcing ratio on the ductility of UHPC beams through experiments and numerical simulations. The results demonstrate that UHPC beams can increase the load-carrying capacity by up to 135% and generate finer cracks. The numerical simulations validate that homogeneous models cannot accurately simulate crack localization in weak regions of UHPC, leading to overestimated ductility. Additionally, optimized UHPC beams with the same strength as reinforced concrete beams are designed using the numerical model, resulting in a ductility increase of 275% and 167% for beams reinforced with RR = 0.44% and 1.78%, respectively.

Summary: Finite-element modeling was used to investigate the behavior of sandwich panels with bidirectional flax fiber-reinforced polymer (FFRP) faces and foam cores under concentrated loads. Large-scale sandwich panels with different FFRP face thicknesses and foam core densities were tested. The modeling considered material and geometric nonlinearity, and four failure modes were studied. A parametric study was also conducted to examine the effects of foam core density, face and core thickness, and loading area size.

Summary: The shape memory polymer (SMP) adhesive shows strong adhesion to various surfaces and the ability to adapt to different shapes and flexures, allowing for potential applications in common fabrics. The dual adaptation of an SMP adhesive, with a thin SMP layer and backing fabric, is proposed to optimize both shape and flexure adaptations for improved performance. Research in this field involves theoretical rationale, computational studies, and experimental demonstrations of the SMP adhesive's capabilities, particularly in dry and underwater conditions.

Summary: The growing environmental consciousness of society has led to the development of sustainable products. This study explores the feasibility of using a mixed PLA-PTA matrix to achieve high properties while maintaining lower stiffness. The addition of PTA reduces the tensile strength, Young's modulus and strain of the material, but the mechanical performance can be improved by reinforcing the blend with BKHF. The study concludes that the reinforced biocomposites are a viable alternative to replace non-renewable materials with similar properties and a significant reduction in carbon footprint.

The addition of honey led to the formation of a new aldehyde carbonyl group and separate phases observed through scanning electron microscopy. The bio-modified resin with 3 wt% of honey could withstand multiple impacts and recover fully, with absorbed energy at the first impact 2.5 times higher than unmodified resin.

Summary: The paper focuses on the behavior of glued joints of wooden sections at elevated temperatures. The study found that the curing of PRF and PUR adhesives was insufficient at high temperatures. At 140℃, there was no significant reduction in strength for all tested adhesives, but a longer duration (1 day) led to a decrease in tensile shear strength. At 170℃, PRF and EPI showed a significant drop in strength, while PUR lost its strength completely after longer duration exposures.
