description: Compressive strength of six types of geopolymer pastes made from different fly ash sources were studied. Alkali activation was performed by a mixture of sodium silicate sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH). Concentration of NaOH for all mixtures was 8 M. Specimens were cured at 60 oC and 100% RH for 24 h. The effect of different parameters on compressive strength was studied via contour analysis. Microstructural analysis of both fly ashes and geopolymers reveals that strength evolution mainly depends on the distribution of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the starter fly ash rather than their ratios. Localized short order diffusion for geopolymerization necessitates both uniform distribution of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the whole fly ash powder, and presence of these oxides in approximately same pattern.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In this work, a new method for incorporating fly ash in constructional technology was developed by production of boroaluminosilicate geopolymers. These new class of geopolymers were appropriately synthesized from mixtures of fly ash and anhydrous borax and compressive strengths as high as 64 MPa are achievable by using suitable amount of borax. Different types of microstructures were observed by changing mixture proportion of the specimens. All of specimens revealed a brittle fracture with no crack branching in the mixture. Additionally, less unreacted fly ash particle was observed in the considered pastes indicating a totally different fracture mechanism in boroaluminosilicate geopolymers with respect to aluminosilicate ones. FT-IR analyses of the mixtures revealed an additional B-O bond with respect to aluminosilicate geopolymers. It was shown that this bond is a key factor to determine compressive strength and specimens with no B-O bond have the lowest strength.

description: Mix design in production cementitious materials is of importance where selection the value of each parameter has a critical effect on final properties of the material. In the present work, a new method has been developed to determine the effect of each considered mix design factor on the output properties. A specific property can be related linearly to the factors of mix design through normalized nonlinear weight functions. The proposed procedure was applied on two different mix designs available in the literature. The first analysis was conducted on ordinary Portland cement based concrete specimens to analyse the importance of each factor on their compressive strength. The second one was conducted on a geopolymeric system to analyse the compressive strength. For both systems, the factors were divided into sensitive and non-sensitive where sensitive factors were suggested to be considered with more attention in mix design procedure.

Year: 2024

description: In the current paper, fracture strength of a functionally graded geopolymer was analytically modelled for crack propagation in two possible perpendicular situations with respect to the functionally graded region. Functionally graded geopolymer was produced by pouring and subsequent vibration of two layers of different alkali activated fly ash-based geopolymers into the moulds. The thickness of functionally graded region was determined equal to 18.6 mm through evaluating Si/Al ratio obtained from EDS. In modelling procedure of both crack configurations, the functionally graded region was considered to have 372 layers with the thickness of 50 lm and the fracture strength of the geopolymeric specimen in functionally graded region was related to the fracture strength of the constituent layers. To represent the variation of surface energy and elastic modulus in functionally graded region, three different functions including exponential, power-law and linear were considered. The obtained results from the proposed model show a good agreement with that of obtained through experimental procedure.

description: This paper presents an application of prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates for the strengthening of metallic girders of a roadway bridge in Melbourne, Australia. The study also describes the application of a wireless sensor network (WSN) system for long-term structural monitoring of the retrofitted bridge girders. A flat prestressed unbonded retrofit (FPUR) system was developed to apply prestressed CFRP plates to the steel girders of the Diamond Creek Bridge (122 years old), which is subjected to daily passenger and heavy vehicles. The first section explains the results of sets of static and fatigue tests performed in the laboratory to examine the efficiency of the proposed FPUR system prior to its installation on the bridge. The second section presents details of different aspects of the CFRP strengthening of the bridge girders, fatigue design criteria, and layouts for short- and long-term monitoring. For the short-term measurements, the bridge was loaded with a 42.5-ton semi-trailer before and after strengthening. The CFRP plates were prestressed up to approximately 980 MPa (≈38% of the CFRP ultimate tensile strength), which resulted in about 50% reduction in the maximum tensile stress in the bridge girders. The third section discusses the development, installation, and preliminary results of the WSN system used to monitor the pre-stress level in the CFRP plates. The results of the short- and long-term measurements in this study show that the FPUR system is very effective for flexural and fatigue strengthening of bridge girders. Finally, a set of recommendations for long-term structural monitoring is provided.

description: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) -repaired and strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams with innovative high-strength self-compacting cementitious adhesive (IHSSC-CA), with the particular objective of improving the ductility. Graphene oxide and cementitious materials were used to synthesise the IHSSC-CA. An analytical model is developed to predict the maximum tensile strain in NSM CFRP strips based on the experimental results. ACI 440.2R-08 guide was used to calculate the ultimate flexural capacity of the tested specimens based on the predicted tensile strain in NSM CFRP strips. The test results confirm the effectiveness of using IHSSC-CA to improve the flexural strength, CFRP strip utilisation, stiffness, residual strength and ductility of RC beams repaired and strengthened with NSM CFRP strips. Moreover, the statistical model proposed to predict the maximum tensile strain in CFRP strips has good agreement with the experimental results and can be used in the design of NSM CFRP- repaired and strengthened RC members with cement-based (IHSSC-CA) and epoxy adhesives. Furthermore, the ultimate flexural capacity of the repaired and strengthened RC beams using NSM CFRP strips with cement-based (IHSSC-CA) and epoxy adhesives can be predicted adequately using the ACI 440.2R-08.

description: Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) has shown promise for improving the fatigue performance of steel structures. Previous studies have indicated that increasing the Young's modulus of CFRP can be beneficial for decreasing the stress intensity factor at the fatigue crack tip. In this project, ultra high modulus (UHM) CFRP plates with Young's modulus of 460 GPa were adopted to study their fatigue repair effectiveness. A series of fatigue tension tests was carried out on steel plates with an initial crack in the centre. Five strengthening configurations were used and a constant amplitude fatigue loading was applied to all the specimens. The beach marking technique was utilized to record the fatigue crack propagation. The effects of CFRP bond length, bond width and bond locations on the fatigue performance of cracked steel plates were also studied. The experimental results show that UHM CFRP plates can greatly increase the fatigue life of cracked steel plates by a factor ranging from 3.26 to 7.47. When CFRP plates cover the whole crack surface, the fatigue crack of the steel plate is arrested. The strengthening effectiveness of UHM CFRP plates is also compared with those using high Young's modulus CFRP sheeting and normal Young's modulus CFRP plates with or without prestressing.

description: Extensive research has been conducted on static bond behaviour between CFRP and steel. However, very limited research is available on the effect of fatigue loading on the bond behaviour between CFRP and steel. This paper attempts to fill the knowledge gap in this area. A series of static and fatigue tests on UHM (ultra high modulus) CFRP plate and steel plate double strap joints were conducted. Five specimens were tensioned to failure under static loading as control specimens. The other 12 specimens were tested under fatigue loading with load ratios ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 (defined as the ratio of the maximum fatigue load to the average static bond strength of control specimens). After going through pre-set number of fatigue cycles, the specimens were tensioned to failure under static loading. The failure modes, residual bond strength and residual bond stiffness of such specimens were compared with those of control specimens, to facilitate the investigation of the effect of fatigue loading on the bond behaviour. Microscopic investigation was also performed to reveal the underlying failure mechanism.

Experimental investigation of bond characteristics between CFRP fabrics and steel plate joints under impact tensile loads

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, the use of adhesively-bonded fibre-reinforced composite materials has attracted widespread attention as a viable alternative for the retrofitting of civil infrastructure such as buildings and bridges. This has been particularly the case for concrete structures. The retrofitting of metallic bridges and buildings with FRP materials, however, is still in its early stages. In real life, these structures are subjected to dynamic loads. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the bond behaviour between steel and the strengthening materials for both static and dynamic loads. To examine the bond between steel plates and carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) fabrics, this paper describes the experimental procedures and results of double strap steel joints loaded at different loading rates (2 mm/min, 3.35, 4.43 and 5 m/s). In this test program, ultimate load-carrying capacity, effective bond length, failure mechanism and strain distribution were examined for all loading rates. Different numbers of CFRP layers with different bond lengths were investigated. Experimental findings reveal that the maximum improvement in joint capacity occurs at a rate of 3.35 m/s. It was observed that the effective bond length is insensitive to loading rate for both joints. The failure modes and strain distributions, however, exhibit little difference between static and dynamic conditions.

The preliminary implementation provides closed-loop security management of services with proactive MTD operations to reduce the success probability of attacks, and reactive MTD operations, empowered by a tampering detection and a traffic-based anomaly detection system. MTD strategies are adaptive and optimized with deep reinforcement learning (deep-RL) for balancing costs, security, and availability goals defined in a Multi-Objective Markov Decision Process (MOMDP).
A Model-Based Simulation of CFRP-Steel Bond Failure Using the Material Point Method

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Based on the recent observation of CFRP-steel bond failure in the double lap shear tests, a numerical approach using the Material Point Method (MPM) is proposed in this study to simulate the delamination process of the combined CFRP/epoxy layer from steel plate. In the proposed approach, an elasto-plasticity von Mises model with linear hardening and softening laws is used to model the bonded materials. The MPM, one of the meshfree particle methods, is adopted as a robust spatial discretization method to accommodate the multi-scale discontinuities involved in the CFRP-steel system failure process. To demonstrate the potential of the proposed model-based simulation approach, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the effects of bond length and loading rate on the behaviour of CFRP-steel joint system. The simulation results not only match the available experimental data well but also provide a better understanding on the physics behind the combined CFRP/epoxy layer delamination process.

description: Purpose: The telehealthcare sector has been expanding steadily in the UK. However, confusing, complex and unwieldy designs of telehealthcare devices are at best, less effective than they could be, at worst, they are potentially dangerous to the users.
Method: This study investigated the factors within the new product development process that hindered satisfactory product design outcomes, through working collaboratively with a leading provider based in the UK.
Results: This study identified that there are too many costly late-stage design changes; a critical and persistent problem area ripe for improvement. The findings from analyzing 30 recent devices, interviewing key stakeholders and observing on-going projects further revealed that one major cause of the issue was poor practice in defining and communicating the product design criteria and requirements.
Conclusions: Addressing the characteristics of the telehealthcare industry, such as multiple design commissioners and frequent deployment of design subcontracts, this paper argues that undertaking a robust process of creating the product design brief is the key to improving the outcomes of telehealthcare device design, particularly for the small and medium-sized enterprises dominating the sector.
• Implications for rehabilitation
• Product design criteria and requirements are frequently ill-defined and ineffectively communicated to the designers within the processes of developing new telehealthcare devices.
• The absence of a (robust) process of creating the design brief is the root cause of the identified issues in defining and communicating the design task.
• Deploying a formal process of creating the product design brief is particularly important for the telehealthcare sector.

description: Obwohl der Gesundheitssektor einer der wichtigsten Konsumbereiche aus Umweltsicht darstellt, gibt es für diesen bislang kaum ganzheitliche Umweltbewertungen. Dies stellt Spitäler zunehmend vor noch grössere Herausforderungen, Potenzialbereiche für mögliche Umweltoptimierungen herauszuarbeiten, die auch wirtschaftlich tragbar sind.
Das Forschungsprojekt «Green Hospital-Ressourceneffizienz bei Schweizer Spitälern» hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, bisherige Forschungslücken über umweltrelevante Prozesse in Spitälern zu schliessen sowie konkrete Vorschläge zur ressourceneffizienten Prozessoptimierung auszuarbeiten um damit die Schweizer Spitallandschaft nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Die vier Forschungsziele des Projektes lauten:
1. Entwicklung eines umfassenden Wissens über den Ressourcenverbrauch der Schweizer Spitäler
2. Analyse der Ressourceneffizienz und der Umweltauswirkungen im Gesundheitswesen
3. Ausarbeitung einer Liste umweltfreundlicher Massnahmen und Untersuchung der derzeit realisierbaren Optionen
4. Umsetzung ausgewählter umweltoptimierter Prozesse und Evaluation
An der Erfüllung dieser Forschungsziele arbeiten im interdisziplinären Forschungsteam die Experten der Forschungsgruppe für Ökobilanzierung der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW), die Abteilung «Health Care Logistics» des Fraunhofer Instituts für Materialfluss und Logistik in Dortmund (IML) und das Institut für Wirtschaftsstudien Basel (IWSB) gemeinsam mit Partnerspitälern. Das Forschungsprojekt wurde im Rahmen des Nationalen Forschungsprogramms «Nachhaltige Wirtschaft: ressourcenschonend, zukunftsfähig, innovativ» (NFP 73) des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds (SNF) durchgeführt. Die Resultate dieser Forschung sind im Kapitel 4 zusammengefasst. Dieses Dokument enthält eine Liste umweltfreundlicher Massnahmen aus der Praxis und erfüllt damit das dritte Ziel des Forschungsprojektes. Es kann als Nachschlagewerk und Inspiration für Verbesserungen in den jeweiligen Bereichen genutzt werden. Bei den Massnahmen ist jeweils angegeben, bei welchem Spital diese umgesetzt wurden. Einige Spitäler haben eine Kontaktperson angegeben, an die sich interessierte Personen wenden können, wenn sie mehr über die konkrete Umsetzung lernen möchten.

description: Research on auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) indicates that AVH schizophrenia patients show greater abnormalities on tasks requiring recognition of affective prosody (AP) than non-AVH patients. Detecting AP requires accurate perception of manipulations in pitch, amplitude and duration. Schizophrenia patients with AVHs also experience difficulty detecting these acoustic manipulations; with a number of theorists speculating that difficulties in pitch, amplitude and duration discrimination underlie AP abnormalities. This study examined whether both AP and these aspects of auditory processing are also impaired in first degree relatives of persons with AVHs. It also examined whether pitch, amplitude and duration discrimination were related to AP, and to hallucination proneness. Unaffected relatives of AVH schizophrenia patients (N=19) and matched healthy controls (N=33) were compared using tone discrimination tasks, an AP task, and clinical measures. Relatives were slower at identifying emotions on the AP task (p =.002), with secondary analysis showing this was especially so for happy (p = .014) and neutral (p =.001) sentences. There was a significant interaction effect for pitch between tone deviation level and group (p = .019), and relatives performed worse than controls on amplitude discrimination and duration discrimination. AP performance for happy and neutral sentences was significantly correlated with amplitude perception. Lastly, AVH proneness in the entire sample was significantly correlated with pitch discrimination (r = .44) and pitch perception was shown to predict AVH proneness in the sample (p = .005). These results suggest basic impairments in auditory processing are present in relatives of AVH patients; they potentially underlie processing speed in AP tasks, and predict AVH proneness. This indicates auditory processing deficits may be a core feature of AVHs in schizophrenia, and are worthy of further study as a potential endophenotype for AVHs.

description: Movement patterns are altered after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and rehabilitation, which could increase the risk for a second rupture. Therefore, rehabilitation needs to be improved. The use of exergaming and virtual reality has shown promising results in the rehabilitation of chronic disease patients, but not yet with patients after musculoskeletal injuries. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the biomechanical movement quality and the potential risk of an anterior cruciate ligament (re-) rupture during a training with the ExerCube, an exergaming device. Biomechanical movement patterns of female healthy athletes (n = 7) of five different type of sports were investigated. Measured biomechanical risk factors during jumps, squats, left, and right lunges were knee flexion angle (fraction between 10° and 30°) and knee adduction angle, while the investigated biomechanical protective factor was the hip flexion angle. Additionally, knee extensor and flexor strength were measured with isokinetic dynamometry. Participants showed low knee extensor strength and normal knee flexor strength. Both risk factors were present in all four exercises, even though to a different extent, whereas the protective factor was found only during the squat and the jump or lunge of some participants. Strain on the anterior cruciate ligament during the squat and lunge is controllable, but during the jump explosive movements create a high amount of loading. It can therefore be concluded that the squat and lunge can be performed during later stages of rehabilitation, but it is not recommended to perform a jump in the ExerCube training environment.

description: Cognitive behavioural therapy has been established as an effective treatment for residual psychotic symptoms but a substantial proportion of people do not benefit from this treatment. There has been little direct study of predictors of outcome, particularly in treatment targeting auditory hallucinations. The Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) were administered pre- and post-therapy to 33 people with schizophrenia-related disorders receiving CBT for auditory hallucinations in a specialist clinic. Outcome was compared with pre-therapy measures of insight, beliefs about the origin of hallucinations, negative symptoms and cognitive disorganization. There were significant improvements post-treatment on the PSYRATS and PANSS Positive and General Scales. Improvement on the PSYRATS was associated with lower levels of negative symptoms, but was unrelated to overall insight, delusional conviction regarding the origins of hallucinations, or levels of cognitive disorganization. Lack of insight and presence of formal thought disorder do not preclude effective cognitive-behavioural treatment of auditory hallucinations. There is a need to further understand why negative symptoms may present a barrier to therapy.

description: Unfälle bei Kindern und Jugendlichen sind relativ häufig und gehen mit individuellem Leid und Kosten für das Gesundheitssystem und die Gesellschaft einher. Das Unfallgeschehen bei Kindern in der Schweiz wird bisher nur unzureichend erfasst. Die aktuelle Datenlage entspricht nicht den Anforderungen der BFU, Beratungsstelle für Unfallverhütung für ein Unfall-Monitoring.
Im ersten Teil der Studie wurde eine Übersicht über die in der Schweiz vorhandenen Datenquellen zur Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen erstellt, unabhängig davon, ob diese bereits Informationen zum Unfallgeschehen enthalten oder nicht. Darüber hinaus wurden potenzielle Datenquellen für Unfalldaten von Kindern und Jugendlichen dargestellt, die in der Schweiz noch nicht etabliert sind. Zusätzlich wurden methodische Ansätze in die Auslegeordnung aufgenommen. Dabei wurden auf Basis bestehender Berichte und Unterlagen der BFU, sowie einer internationalen Literaturrecherche Datenquellen und Ansätze zur Erfassung des Unfallgeschehens in der Altersgruppe Kinder- und Jugendliche identifiziert. Zusätzlich wurde mittels Interviews eine Experten-einschätzung zu den Datenquellen zu Kinder- und Jugendunfällen, sowie zentralen Kriterien für ein Unfall-monitoring und spezifische Informationen zu einzelnen Datenquellen erhoben.
Der zweite Studienteil stellt eine vertiefte Evaluation von potenziellen Datenquellen und methodischen Ansätzen dar. Dabei wurden Unfallmeldungen, die über Krankenkassen abgewickelt werden (KVG-Unfallmeldungen), das Swiss Paediatric Standard Dataset (SwissPedData), das Swiss Trauma Registry für Kinder und das Nationale Register für Frakturen sowie die Methode «Machine Learning» fokussiert. Schliesslich wurde basierend auf den Ergebnissen der Gesamtauslegeordnung und der vertieften Evaluation eine erste Machbarkeitsprüfung der Methode Machine Learning mit elektronischen Notfall-Patientenakten des Kinderspitals Zürich als Datengrundlage durchgeführt. Es wurde einerseits ein Sample von elektronischen Anamnesen von 100 Kinderunfällen manuell auf die von der BFU gewünschten Variablen gesichtet. Zusätzlich wurden mittels eines Experten-Workshops die daraus abgeleiteten Fragestellungen, die Machbarkeit und der Aufwand der Methode Machine Learning mit den Unfalldaten des Kinderspitals diskutiert.

description: Aim of the study: The aim of the project was to use the results of laxity tests on cadaver knees to create scalable, subject-specific finite element (FE) models. The models were used to improve the surface geometry of unicondylar knee prostheses using optimization techniques.

Material and methods: For the experimental tests, the alignment of the knee and the robot was defined by inserting carbon rods through the bones, recording CT data and then designing bone- and subject-specific 3D prints. As the FE-models rely on MRI images while the experiments use CT coordinate systems, there are differences in their positions. Therefore, a transformation matrix was used to correct the offset of the FE-model. With MeshLab the bones were aligned and then the position offsets calculated. The FE-model was built based on segmented MRI data using Mimics (Materialise NV) with the FE-program Ansys® Academic Research Mechanical (ANSYS Inc.). A multilinear elastic material model was selected as the material model for the ligaments with a uniaxial tensile test of a lateral collateral ligament as input. An initial area and length were assigned to calculate a stress-strain curve. In addition, a strain offset parameter was introduced to handle different strains. An additional internal/external stiffness was added. An important feature of the FE-model was to assign an initial strain to the ligaments. This maintains the actual geometry segmented from the MRI and helps to keep the ligament in tension. The level of detail chosen for the model also meant that there was only one principal ligament per laxity test.

Results: This scalable parameter model of knee ligaments build was applied to six knees that had a native geometry and three different unicompartmental knee joint replacement geometries. The difference in position between the experiments and the FE-model could be offset. With knowledge of the transformation matrix, the FE-model could include the same implant position as implanted by the surgeon.

Discussion: A reliable framework for the development of knee FE-models based on cadaver laxity testing was demonstrated. An improvement for future FE-models would be to provide fixation so that the MRI and CT scans are taken at the same position or by using fixed bone markers in both scans. Finally, initial stretching could be fixed to a certain strain value; however, the challenge is whether this solution remains scalable.
