Bearing Capacity of the Working Platform with Kinematic Method

open access: yesStudia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2015
Bearing capacity of the working platform for heavy tracks was analysed using Distinct Layout Optimization (DLO) method. The platform layer constructed from cohesionless soils is resting on weak cohesive subgrade.

Effect of Washer Size and Tightening Torque on Bearing Performance of Basalt Fiber Composite Bolted Joints

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The effect of tightening torque and washer size on the performance of basalt natural fiber composite joints was investigated experimentally. It was found that washer size is the main design driver in controlling the out-of-plane behavior of the joint ...

Dedicated TEM study from the core structure of adiabatic shear bands in dynamical deformed Ti6Al4V [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Metals and alloys deformed at high strain rates, which are occurring during impact or metal forming situations can suffer from premature failure due to the introduction of so called adiabatic shear bands (ASB).

Immune mechanisms in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, 2017
Elevated levels of circulating pro‐inflammatory biomarkers in patients with both ischaemic and non‐ischaemic heart failure (HF) correlate with disease severity and prognosis. Experimental studies have shown activation of immune response mechanisms in the heart to provoke cardiac adverse remodelling and cause left ventricular dysfunction.

A new engineering approach to predict the hydrostatic strength of uPVC\ud pipes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Extruded unplasticised Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (uPVC) pipes are certified using pressurised pipe tests.\ud During these tests the pipes are subjected to a certain temperature and internal pressure, while the\ud time-to-failure, the time at which the ...

Plastic mechanisms for thin-walled cold-formed steel members in eccentric compression. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Eurocode 3 concerning thin-walled steel members divides members subjected to compression into four classes, considering their ductility. The representatives of the class C4 are short bars, for which the load-capacity corresponds to the maximum ...

Nuclear factor κB-inducing kinase activation as a mechanism of pancreatic β cell failure in obesity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway is a master regulator of inflammatory processes and is implicated in insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell dysfunction in the metabolic syndrome.

Calculation of The Lifetimes of Thin Stripper Targets Under Bombardment of Intense Pulsed Ions

open access: yes, 2007
The problems of stripper target behavior in the nonstationary intense particle beams are considered. The historical sketch of studying of radiation damage failure of carbon targets under ion bombardment is presented.

Erosion, corrosion and erosion-corrosion of EB PVD thermal barrier coatings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Electron beam (EB) physical vapour deposited (PVD) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used in gas turbine engines for a number of years. The primary mode of failure is attributed to oxidation of the bond coat and growth of the thermally grown ...

Discretionary policy, strategic complementarity and tax evasion. A strategic analysis of the Italian audit mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes
Underlying this work is the idea that there is a problem of strategic complementarity of individuals who choose to evade. Complementarity results from the discretionary policies of governments and the strategic implications of the Studi di Settore ...
