Application of a new system of self-tensioning to the design of large-span wood floor framings [PDF]
, 2016 [Abstract]This study describes a self-tensioning system in which the gravitational loads acting on a horizontal structural element are automatically converted to a post-tensioning force on that component.

Equilibrium states and stability of pre-tensioned adhesive tapes [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014 In the present paper we propose a generalization of the model developed in Afferrante, L.; Carbone, G.; Demelio, G.; Pugno, N. Tribol. Lett. 2013, 52, 439–447 to take into account the effect of the pre-tension in the tape. A detailed analysis of the peeling process shows the existence of two possible detachment regimes: one being stable and the other ...

Expansive cement couplers - a means of pre-tensioning fibre reinforced plastic tendons [PDF]
, 1995 Fibre reinforced plastics describes a group of materials composed of inorganic or organic fibres embedded in a resin matrix. frps are strong, non-magnetic, light-weight and for the most part, non-corrodable.

De-wrinkling of pre-tensioned membranes
International Journal of Solids and Structures, 2014 AbstractThin membranes are used in the spacecraft industry as extremely lightweight structural components. They need to be stiffened, usually by applying discrete forces, and this increases their susceptibility to wrinkling in regions where high tensile stresses develop.

Behaviour of pre-stressed high strength concrete sleepers subjected to dynamic loads [PDF]
, 2015 As part of ballasted railway track, pre-stressed concrete sleepers (PCSs) play an essential role in track response, performance and safety. PCSs are subjected to dynamic loads which are often high magnitude and low duration.

The multi-functional foot in athletic movement: Extraordinary feats by our extraordinary feet [PDF]
, 2016 The unique architecture of the foot system provides a sensitive, multi-tensional method of communicating with the surrounding environment. Within the premise of the paper, we discuss three themes: complexity, degeneracy and bio-tensegrity.
