Local Buckling Behavior of Buckling-Restrained Braces with Longitudinally Profiled Steel Core
One of the most important requirements for a well-designed buckling restrained brace (BRB) under severe earthquake loading is to ensure its stability until the brace achieves sufficient elasto-plastic deformation.

Hysteretic behavior modeling of elastoplastic materials [PDF]
In the present paper the Preisach model of hysteresis is applied to model cyclic behavior of elasto-plastic material. Rate of loading and viscous effects will not be considered. The problem of axial loading of rectangular cross section and cyclic bending

Effect of Corrosion on the Hysteretic Behavior of Steel Reinforcing Bars and Corroded RC Columns
The corrosion of steel reinforcement negatively influences the mechanical performance of reinforced concrete (RC) elements reducing both their strength capacity and ductility.

Non destructive characterization of cortical bone micro-damage by nonlinear resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. [PDF]
The objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of a nonlinear ultrasound technique, the so-called nonlinear resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (NRUS) technique, for detecting early microdamage accumulation in cortical bone induced by four-point ...

Dry, frictional steel-on-steel contacts under small-scale oscillations are considered experimentally and theoretically. As indenting bodies, spheres, and truncated spheres are used to retrace the transition from smooth to sharp contact profile geometries.

Different researches have shown that during destructive earthquakes, most structures enter non-reactionary range. Hysteretic Energy, which is wasted after the yield within its hysteresis rings, is very influential on generating structural damage of the ...

On the nature of the hysteretic behavior in GdCu compound [PDF]
Magnetic susceptibility measurements performed by de Wijn et al. were interpreted as to indicate the occurrence of a phase transformation from CsCl to the FeB structure in GdCu compounds at 77 K. The CaCl structure was found to reappear after a high temperature heat treatment. However, Ross et al.

New expressions to estimate damping in direct displacement baseddesign for special concentrically-braced frames [PDF]
Different expressions have been developed to determine damping of structures based on various hysteretic models and ductility levels. Since Slenderness ratio is an important parameter on the hysteretic behavior of special concentrically- braced frames ...
