The Steel Slit Panel Frame (SSPF) system is a new Seismic Force-Resisting System (SFRS) intended for areas of high seismicity. The main components in an SSPF are: steel beams and columns, and Steel Slit Panels (SSPs). SSPs are steel plates with rows of ver ...
In cells, DNA is routinely subjected to significant levels of bending and twisting. In some cases, such as under physiological levels of supercoiling, DNA can be so highly strained, that it transitions into non-canonical structural conformations that are c ...
Compression experiments were conducted on slender glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates at different temperatures in the elevated range. Experimental buckling loads, lateral second-order deformations, and shear strength decreased with increasing ...
Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...
Nickel oxide and yttria doped zirconia composite strength is crucial for anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells, especially during transient operation, but also for the initial stacking process, where cell curvature after sintering can cause problems. This ...
In many unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings reinforced concrete (RC) ring beams are introduced at each storey in order to maintain the integrity of the building when subjected to seismic loading. Such ring beams also contribute to the in-plane resistance ...
In this paper we study the dynamic behavior of an isotropic Kirchhoff- Love beam and investigate the equilibrium position of an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Using the discrete Euler-Lagrange and Lagrange-d’Alembert principles, we simulate the behavior by means of ...
The equilibrium position of an Euler-Bernoulli beam is investigated. Using the discrete Euler-Lagrange and Lagrange-d’Alembert principles, the behavior of the beam is simulated using variational integrators and, in particular, AVIs (Asynchronous Variationa ...
In this article, we describe a dynamic model of the three-dimensional eel swimming. This model is analytical and suited to the online control of eel-like robots. The proposed solution is based on the Large Amplitude Elongated Body Theory of Lighthill and a ...
This paper shows design studies with bent panels which are originally rectangular or at least approximately rectangular. Based on recent results obtained in the geometry processing community, we algorithmically approach the questions of an exact rectangula ...
