FE analysis and experimental validation of mechanical wedge-barrel anchors for CFRP rods

Alain Nussbaumer, Elyas Ghafoori, Hossein Heydarinouri

This paper presents a comparative study of the geometrical optimization of mechanical wedge-barrel anchors for prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods. Various anchor configurations were simulated using three-dimensional finite-element (FE) ...

Development of a Mechanical Wedge-Barrel Anchor for CFRP Rods: Static and Fatigue Behaviors

Alain Nussbaumer, Masoud Motavalli, Elyas Ghafoori, Hossein Heydarinouri

In this study, a mechanical anchorage for prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods was proposed. The proposed anchorage consisted of a steel barrel with a conical hole and three separate aluminum wedges that are in direct contact with the CF ...

A Closing Window of Opportunity to Save a Unique Marine Ecosystem

Anders Meibom, Maoz Fine

Five years in the making, a massive oil spill of 1 million barrels is imminent in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. Emergent action must be taken by the United Nations and its International Maritime Organization (IMO) to remove the oil, despite regional ...

Loading optimization for Swiss used nuclear fuel assemblies into final disposal canisters

Andreas Pautz, Hakim Ferroukhi, Dimitri Rochman, Alexander Vasiliev

In this study, an optimization of the canister loading for used nuclear fuels is performed, solely based on their decay heat values. By taking into account the individual irradiation history for each fuel assembly, as well as with a number of assumptions o ...

The Intricate Structural Chemistry of MII2nLn-Type Assemblies

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Philip Pattison, Euro Solari, Giacomo Cecot, Mathieu Jérémie Marmier

The reaction of cis-blocked, square-planar MII complexes with tetratopic N-donor ligands is known to give metallasupramolecular assemblies of the formula M2nLn. These assemblies typically adopt barrel-like structures, with the ligands paneling the sides of ...

Molecular Modeling of Bacterial Nanomachineries

Matteo Thomas Degiacomi

Proteins have the ability to assemble in multimeric states to perform their specific biological function. Unfortunately, characterizing experimentally these structures at atomistic resolution is usually difficult. For this reason, in silico methodologies a ...

Composition and fate of gas and oil released to the water column during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

Jeremy Samuel Arey

Quantitative information regarding the endmember composition of the gas and oil that flowed from the Macondo well during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is essential for determining the oil flow rate, total oil volume released, and trajectories and fates o ...

Assembly Mechanisms and Cellular Effects of Bacterial Pore-Forming Toxins

Mirko Bischofberger

The correct assembly of macromolecular protein complexes such as ribosomes or multisubunit membrane channels is essential for their function. Alterations in the process can lead to disease either by loss of function or by acquisition of toxic function. How ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of sensory responses in layer 2/3 of rat barrel cortex measured in vivo by voltage-sensitive dye imaging combined with whole-cell voltage recordings and neuron reconstructions

Carl Petersen

The spatiotemporal dynamics of the sensory response in layer 2/3 of primary somatosensory cortex evoked by a single brief whisker deflection was investigated by simultaneous voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging and whole-cell (WC) voltage recordings in the ...

Functionally independent columns of rat somatosensory barrel cortex revealed with voltage-sensitive dye imaging

Carl Petersen

Whisker movement is somatotopically represented in rodent neocortex by electrical activity in clearly defined barrels, which can be visualized in living brain slices. The functional architecture of this part of the cortex can thus be mapped in vitro with r ...
