Effect of prestress on phononic band gaps induced by inertial amplification [PDF]
, 2021 Phononic crystals and elastic metamaterials have recently received significant attention due to their potential for unconventional wave control. Despite this interest, one outstanding issue is that their band diagram is typically fixed once the structure

COMPARING THE RIGIDITY OF THE PRESTRESSED AND NON-PRESTRESSED FOUNDATION [PDF]
Jurnal Teknologi, 2016 If compared with reinforced concrete, the prestressed concrete is able to resist higher loads before cracks develop. As cracks reduce considerably rigidity of the element, the prestressed element can be regarded as rather rigid. The article compares the rigidity of the prestressed and non-prestressed foundations in two axes.
