Effect of Shear Wall Openings on the Fundamental Period of Shear Wall Structures

, 2019
A common approach in resisting lateral forces is the use of reinforced concrete shear walls in buildings. These walls represent the main elements to resist the lateral forces due to their large strength and stiffness. However, such walls may contain many openings due to functional requirements, and this may largely affect the overall lateral stiffness ...

Seismic Performance of Precast Double-Skin Composite Shear Wall with Horizontal Connection Region

Buildings
This paper proposed a novel, precast double-skin composite (DSC) shear wall, which was composed of two precast parts at the factory and welding and pouring grouting material on site.

Statistics of polymer adsorption under shear flow

, 2009
Using non-equilibrium Brownian dynamics computer simulations, we have investigated the steady state statistics of a polymer chain under three different shear environments: i) linear shear flow in the bulk (no walls), ii) shear vorticity normal to the ...

Evolution of the wall shear stresses during the progressive enlargement of symmetric abdominal aortic aneurysms. [PDF]

, 2006
The changes in the evolution of the spatial and temporal distribution of the wall shear stresses (WSS) and gradients of wall shear stresses (GWSS) at different stages of the enlargement of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are important in understanding

A Library for Wall-Modelled Large-Eddy Simulation Based on OpenFOAM Technology

, 2018
This work presents a feature-rich open-source library for wall-modelled large-eddy simulation (WMLES), which is a turbulence modelling approach that reduces the computational cost of traditional (wall-resolved) LES by introducing special treatment of the

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

Buildings
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 ...

Discovery of the Role of Wall Shear in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2009
The suggestion was made in the 1870s that mechanical irritation of the arterial wall is a cause of atherosclerosis, because the changes were chiefly found at points “exposed to the full stress and impact of the blood.” The mechanical damage theory persisted until well into the 20th century when, with interest increasing in multidisciplinary research ...

Evaluation of Shear Wall-RC Frame Interaction of High-Rise Buildings using 2-D model Approach

Journal of Materials and Engineering Structures, 2015
The usefulness of structural walls in the framing of buildings has long been recognized. It is generally preferred to use shear wall in combination with moment resisting frame. In the present study, an effort is also made to investigate the shear wall-RC

The performance analysis of shear walls with opening based on quantitative identification method of vibration modes

Alexandria Engineering Journal
Shear walls are the main lateral force resistant components of building structures. The position and shape of openings seriously affect the performance of shear walls.

Stress overshoot in a simple yield stress fluid: an extensive study combining rheology and velocimetry

, 2011
We report a large amount of experimental data on the stress overshoot phenomenon which takes place during start-up shear flows in a simple yield stress fluid, namely a carbopol microgel.
