The effects of chordwise pressure- and inertia-driven deformations on the power extraction potential of a kinematically constrained oscillating thin plate that undergoes a heaving and pitching motion are investigated. 2D fully coupled fluid-structure inter ...
This paper reports on the composite action developed between pultruded FRP bridge deck systems and the supporting main girders for road bridges. Presented are requirements that an FRP deck must satisfy in order to function as part of the upper chord of the ...
The in-plane tensile performance of a pultruded FRP bridge deck system was examined with regard to the use of the deck as the compositely acting top chord of hybrid bridge main girders in negative moment regions. The deck properties determined on the syste ...
This paper describes the quasi-static and fatigue performance of hybrid bridge girders composed of cellular FRP bridge decks and steel girders. The FRP bridge deck is connected adhesively to the steel girders and acts as the top chord of the hybrid section ...
alpha-D-Galactosyl)phenylmethane (1). (alpha- and beta-D-galactosyl)-(difluoro)phenylmethane (2 and 3) have been prepared and their conformations in solution were described by using a combination of force-field calculations and NMR spectroscopic studies. G ...
