Research on Snow Load Characteristics on a Complex Long-Span Roof Based on Snow–Wind Tunnel Tests
Applied Sciences, 2019 A considerable number of studies have been carried out for predicting snowdrifts on roofs over the years. However, few studies have focused on snowdrifts on complex long-span roofs, as the complex shape and fine structure pose significant challenges.

Retrofit Strategies against Progressive Collapse of Steel Gravity Frames
Applied Sciences, 2020 Two retrofit strategies, aiming at increasing the collapse resistance of simple connections by adding seat angles and steel plates with long-slotted holes, are proposed in order to address the vulnerability of steel gravity frames under column loss ...

Modeling of the Snowdrift in Cold Regions: Introduction and Evaluation of a New Approach
Applied Sciences, 2019 Unbalanced, or non-uniform, snow loads caused by snow drifting or sliding in cold regions with heavy snowfalls, can be a serious problem for the building industry. However, the methods for predicting snow distribution still need to be improved.

Behavioral dynamics of the affordance “graspable” [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2011 On a daily basis, one perceives whether an object affords grasping with one hand or with both hands. In experiments in which differently sized objects of a fixed type have been presented, the transition from using one manual mode to the other has depended on both the ratio of object size to hand span and the presentation sequence-that is, size ...

Dynamic behavior of a scroll compressor. (Dynamic analysis)
TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 1987 This study presents an analytical method to reveal the dynamic behavior of a scroll type compressor of small capacity. The calculated results are summarized on the basis of the gas-torque fluctuation, the crankshaft rotary behavior, the constraint forces at each pair of machine elements, the unbalanced forces of inertia, the compressor vibrations, the ...
