This work presents a hybrid experimental technique for stress analysis in pipes due to soil-pipe interaction. It was used a variation of Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry (DSPI) combined with a ...

A three-dimensional finite element model used to simulate the bolted joint is created using ABAQUS package. The stress concentration factors at the roots of the thread are first studied with a preload ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The essential properties of a bolt pattern are its elastic center and reaction module. The principal elastic axis is ...

This study aims to identify and evaluate the significance of the key design factors that impact the stability of Earth retaining wall anchor-supported structures during excavations in urban areas.

Introduction: Speed modulation methods have been studied and even used clinically to create extra pulsation in the blood circulatory system with the assistance of a continuous flow rotary blood pump.

As a solid approaches a rigidity transition, its failure behavior changes dramatically: cracks become wider and wider until their width reaches the system size. In this regime, bonds initially break ...

I have a serious weakness for pure forms and simple geometry. What? You knew that already? I know, I’m becoming super predictable. Having said that, as much as I cannot get passed squares, rectangles, ...
