Relativism, Self-Centering, and Conceptual Level

Child Development, 1963
Piaget has described a phase of development in middle childhood which he termed "egocentric." At this time (age 6 to 8) the child takes his own point of view as absolute and is unable to assume the point of view of others. In his investigations Piaget employed a series of questions to determine whether the child had a relativistic, as opposed to ...

Self‐centering friction spring dampers for seismic resilience

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2019
This paper presents a comprehensive study on self‐centering dampers equipped with friction springs. The basic mechanical behavior of individual friction springs is first understood via analytical descriptions that are verified by a preliminary ...

High-performance self-centering steel columns with shape memory alloy bolts: Design procedure and experimental evaluation

Engineering structures, 2019
Steel moment-resisting frames are popular structural systems used extensively around the world. However, conventional column base connections are vulnerable to large residual deformation after strong earthquakes.

Variable friction damped self-centering precast concrete beam–column connections with hidden corbels: Experimental investigation and theoretical analysis

, 2020
A new self-centering precast concrete (SCPC) beam–column connection with variable friction dampers (VFDs) is proposed to enhance the stiffness and energy dissipation after gap opening occurs at the beam–column interface, where a hidden corbel (HC) is ...

Self-Centering Film Dividers

Journal of Lubrication Technology, 1980
One rather effective way to reduce the frictional drag of fluid film journal or thrust bearings, when operating in the turbulent regime, is to introduce a “floating” member dividing the fluid film into two roughly equal parts. The average shear rate is unchanged, but the effective Reynolds number is reduced, with a corresponding reduction in friction ...
