Research related to vibrations from high speed railway traffic

open access: yes, 2008
We discuss here recent results from several research programmes related to dynamic aspects and vibrations induced by high speed railway traffic, developed at the computational mechanics group, within the “Escuela de Ingenieros de Caminos” of the ...

Studies on the Seismic Design of Low-Rise Steel Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 1977
The behavior of low-rise steel shear buildings, moment frame buildings, and X-braced buildings, subjected to earthquake base motion, is studied using inelastic time-history analysis.

Biomechanical Evaluation of the Fixation Methods for Transcondylar Fracture of the Humerus:ONI Plate Versus Conventional Plates and Screws [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We biomechanically evaluated the bone fixation rigidity of an ONI plate (Group I) during fixation of experimentally created transcondylar humerus fractures in cadaveric elbows, which are the most frequently observed humeral fractures in the elderly, and ...

Verifying a Glass Pane Under Combined In-Plane Compression and Out-of-Plane Lateral Loads

open access: yesChallenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Using glass elements as designated members of the structural design of buildings does not only require conscientious planning of structural redundancies, but also proof of safety for single components.

Evaluation of the impact of soil–cement retrofitting on the failure behaviour of wharf piles in liquefiable soils

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
Liquefaction-induced lateral spreading significantly contributes to pile bending failure in pile-supported wharves. However, the combined effects of axial and lateral loads under such conditions have been insufficiently investigated, and the efficacy of ...

Effect of low-speed impact damage and damage location on behavior of composite panels [PDF]

open access: yes
The effect of low speed impact damage on the compression and tension strength of thin and moderately thick composite specimens was investigated. Impact speed ranged from 50 to 550 ft./sec., with corresponding impact energies from 0.25 to 30.7 ft.

Contributions of External, Muscle, and Ligament Forces to Tibiofemoral Contact Loads in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis and Healthy Individuals

open access: yesBioengineering
This study aims to quantify the contributions of external, muscle, and ligament forces to the tibiofemoral contact loads during gait. Additionally, the relative contributions in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and healthy individuals were also ...

Static and yawed-rolling mechanical properties of two type 7 aircraft tires [PDF]

open access: yes
Selected mechanical properties of 18 x 5.5 and 49 x 17 size, type 7 aircraft tires were evaluated. The tires were subjected to pure vertical loads and to combined vertical and lateral loads under both static and rolling conditions.

A Structural Safety Analysis of Buildings During Construction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
The safety of steel buildings, constructed by the tier method, is evaluated. The probability of failure of steel frames supported on temporary connections is examined during the different stages of completion.

Planning, creating and documenting a NASTRAN finite element model of a modern helicopter [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Mathematical models based on the finite element method of structural analysis as embodied in the NASTRAN computer code are widely used by the helicopter industry to calculate static internal loads and vibration of airframe structure.
