Compression resistance of confined timber stud walls

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2013
Hemp-lime is an insulating low carbon dioxide material that is produced from sustainable natural resources. The use of hemp-lime within the construction industry is a relatively recent development. Currently within the UK hemp-lime is used to form solid wall insulation in conjunction with structural timber studwork.

UNIFIED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH MODEL OF CONFINED CONCRETE

Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami, 2009
The bearing capacity and ductility of confined concrete can be greatly increased by the confinement of confining material. To better study the mechanical behavior of confined concrete, this paper presents the yield criterion of confined concrete, based on the static equilibrium condition, the unified compressive strength model of confined concrete is ...

Compressed hydrogen atoms confined within generic boxes

Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2022
The ‘compressed hydrogen atom’ problem involves solving the Schrödinger equation for a hydrogen atom confined within an impenetrable (often, spherical) box, with the wave function vanishing on the boundary of this box. To better understand the role the structure of the box plays on the compressed hydrogen atom, we study the compressed hydrogen atom in ...

Confined excitons under biaxial compression and tension

Surface Science, 1990
The properties of confined excitons have been investigated under both biaxial compression and tension, which result upon cooling from the different thermal expansion coefficients of a thin GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well (MQW) sample and various sample holders.

Compressive damage development in confined borosilicate glass

Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2008
The results of quasistatic compression experiments are presented for borosilicate glass under confinement. The experiments were designed to characterize the damage development process, specifically the effect of comminution on the mechanical performance of the glass.

Computation of a confined compressible mixing layer

Fluid Dynamics Conference, 1995
Fundamental mechanisms of supersonic mixing layers are being investigated in both computational and experimental efforts a t Penn State. This paper describes the direct simulation of a particular set of experimental conditions. A low pressure, moderate Reynolds number supersonic shear layer with a high speed stream Mach number of 3.0 and a low speed ...

Application of Vorticity Confinement to Compressible Flow

42nd AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2004
A new formulation of vorticity confinement has been developed for compressible flow and has been implemented in the OVERFLOW-2 flow solver. The new implementation is based on a scaling of the local vorticity vector by a harmonic function, and is fully conservative in mass, momentum, and energy.

Confining compressed pillars with FRP composites

2009
Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are more and more used in the building trade for the set up of reinforcing and repair devices. As known, FRP composites offer higher strength and Young modulus than traditional steel devices, but the FRP reinforcement is a passive one, that is it begins working as the stress state of the member grows. Moreover,

Spinal cord compression following traditional confinement massage.

The Medical journal of Malaysia, 2012
We describe a case of tetraparesis in a 33-year-old woman following neck manipulation performed by a traditional confinement mid-wife. An MRI of the cervical spine revealed a fracture of the second cervical vertebra with atlanto-axial subluxation that resulted in cord compression.
