Existing evidence indicates that 21-days exposure of rats to restraint stress induces dendritic atrophy in pyramidal cells of the hippocampus. This phenomenon has been related to altered performance in hippocampal-dependent learning tasks. Prior studies ha ...
Pre-stress bonded composite patch is a promising technique to reinforce steel member damaged by fatigue. ifhe effectiveness of this technique was verified by fatigue tests on notched steel plates. Results showed that the application of carbon fibre reinfor ...
Upon annealing above 620 K, submonolayers of Ag deposited on Pt(111) are known to mix into the first surface layer. Thereby the individual Ag atoms reduce the strain fields caused by the lattice mismatch. As observed by scanning tunneling microscopy, caref ...
Prestressed composite patch bonded on cracked steel section is a promising technique to reinforce cracked details or to prevent fatigue cracking on steel structural elements. It introduces compressive stresses that produce a crack closure effect. Moreover, ...
This paper presents the results of a large-scale atomistic simulation study of the process of emission of multiple dislocations in Al. We use embedded-atom method potentials based on ab-initio data and molecular statics and dynamics techniques to study the ...
Many laboratory studies have shown the beneficial effects of weld improvement methods on the fatigue strength of welded details. However, no structural codes systematically include weld improvement methods in detail classification. The purpose of this pape ...
Monitoring stress and, in general, emotions has attracted a lot of attention over the past few decades. Stress monitoring has many applications, including high-risk missions and surgical procedures as well as mental/emotional health monitoring. In this pap ...
