Manipulating drying‐induced carbon nanotube assemblies through substrate surface engineering

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
During the observation of CNT droplet drying on modified substrates with varying surface properties, high‐friction surfaces induced long‐range orientation of CNTs through fixed contact lines and material flow during evaporation. This provides a programmable substrate strategy for assembling ordered nanostructures via controlled droplet drying ...

Finite Element Investigation of a Novel Cold-Formed Steel Shear Wall

open access: yesBuildings
In this paper, a novel corrugated steel sheet central sheathed cold-formed steel (CCS-CFS) shear wall is proposed. This shear wall can address the problems of low shear strength and ductility in conventional cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls caused by ...

Shear buckling characteristics of cold-formed steel channel beams

open access: yes, 2013
Cold-formed steel members are increasingly used as primary structural elements in the building industries around the world due to the availability of thin and high strength steels and advanced cold-forming technologies.

Lithium Metal Anode Fabrication: Methods, Challenges, and Strategies

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of four representative fabrication techniques for thin lithium metal anodes: extrusion, molten lithium infusion, electroplating, and physical vapor deposition (PVD). ABSTRACT The pursuit of ultra‐high energy‐dense lithium‐metal batteries (LMBs) has reignited the drive to fabricate ultrathin high‐quality lithium metal anodes. This

A Bracing Design Method for Shear-Type Strongly Braced Steel Frames Based on the Story Critical Stiffness

open access: yesBuildings
After a shear-type strongly braced steel frame suffers from non-sway buckling, the effective length factor for columns in a non-sway frame should be selected for stability calculations, and the P-δ effect should be considered for second-order analysis ...

Modelling Buckling and Post-buckling Behaviours of Corrugated Paperboard Structures

open access: yes, 2012
The buckling and post-buckling behaviours of corrugated paperboard packaging structures are the focus of this study. The motivations for this study are to improve understanding of post-buckling behaviour to better predict packaging performance and ...

Geometrically nonlinear theory of thin-walled composite box beams using shear-deformable beam theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A general geometrically nonlinear model for thin-walled composite space beams with arbitrary lay-ups under various types of loadings is presented. This model is based on the first-order shear deformable beam theory, and accounts for all the structural ...

Evaluating Seismic Resistance and Energy Dissipation of CFRP‐Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Monotonic Loading

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering and Resilience, EarlyView.
“It was found that good ductility can be achieved in CFRP‐strengthened frames, and this result was validated through experimental testing.” ABSTRACT Reinforced concrete structures are increasingly vulnerable to deterioration by steel reinforcement corrosion, resulting in severe loss of fracture strength and service life, particularly in severe ...

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Equivalent stiffness prediction and global buckling analysis using refined analytical model of composite laminated box beam

open access: yesScience and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2019
The analytical model applicable to calculate the equivalent stiffnesses of composite box beam has been refined. The calculation of equivalent stiffness coefficients of composite laminated box beam is simplified and the connection between shear-deformable
