Design of reinforced concrete beams with web openings [PDF]
, 2006 The provision of transverse openings in floor beams to facilitate the passage of utility pipes and service ducts results not only in a more systematic layout of pipes and ducts, it also translates into substantial economic savings in the construction of ...

How granular materials deform in quasistatic conditions [PDF]
, 2009 Based on numerical simulations of quasistatic deformation of model granular materials, two rheological regimes are distinguished, according to whether macroscopic strains merely reflect microscopic material strains within the grains in their contact ...

Yielding and hardening of flexible fiber packings during triaxial compression
, 2019 This paper examines the mechanical response of flexible fiber packings subject to triaxial compression. Short fibers yield in a manner similar to typical granular materials in which the deviatoric stress remains nearly constant with increasing strain ...

Discordance Between Patient and Physician Global Assessments in Early Systemic Sclerosis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study aims to identify factors associated with patient global assessment (PtGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA) and discordance between them in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Data from adults with early SSc (<5 years) from the Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry were included.

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Analysis of Mesostructure Unit Cells Comprised of Octet-truss Structures [PDF]
, 2006 A unit truss finite element analysis method allowing non-linear deformation is employed to analyze a unit cell comprised of n 3 octet-truss structures for their stiffness and displacement compared to their relative density under loading.

Axial Compression Behavior of Concrete-Encased CFST Columns
Civil Engineering JournalComposite construction known as concrete-encased CFST is an outer covering of concrete surrounding a steel tube filled with concrete. It is employed as a structural member in multi-story buildings, large structures, bridges, and underground subway systems. Most of the literature deals with steel tubes filled with core concrete or concrete-encased steel
