The stiffness of steel-wood-steel connection loaded parallel to the grain [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2022
In Eurocode 5, the stiffness equation for bolted steel-wood-steel is stated as a function ofwood density and fastener diameter only. In this research, an experimental study on various configurations of tested bolted steel-wood-steel (SWS) connections has

An Accurate Block Solver for Stiff Initial Value Problems [PDF]

open access: yesISRN Applied Mathematics, 2013
New implicit block formulae that compute solution of stiff initial value problems at two points simultaneously are derived and implemented in a variable step size mode. The strategy for changing the step size for optimum performance involves halving, increasing by a multiple of 1.7, or maintaining the current step size.

Dynamic stiffness of articular cartilage and potential repair materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Cartilage has limited potential for self repair. Therefore, articular cartilage lesions often lead to early osteoarthritis. Early clinical results of cartilage replacement procedures such as autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) seem promising,

A model for the initial stiffness of the face plate component

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2023
The component method for joint analysis relies on the formulation of stiffness and strength of individual parts to derive the global properties of the joint. One of these components is the web of an open I-section, or the face of a rectangular hollow section, hereby referred to as face plate. It is currently not codified despite its frequent occurrence

Experimental Study on the Shear-Flow Coupled Behavior of Tension Fractures Under Constant Normal Stiffness Boundary Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study experimentally investigated the effects of fracture surface roughness, normal stiffness, and initial normal stress on the shear-flow behavior of rough-walled rock fractures.A series of shear-flow tests were performed on two rough fractures ...

Parametric Analysis of Tensegrity Plate-Like Structures: Part 2—Quantitative Analysis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The study includes a parametric analysis of a group of tensegrity plate-like structures built with modified Quartex modules. The quantitative assessment, including the calculation of the structure’s response to constant loads, was carried out.

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation

open access: yes, 2013
Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...
