Flexural Fatigue Behavior of Glulam Beams Connected with Steel Splints and Bolts
Buildings, 2023 Glulam beams connected with steel splints and bolts (GBSBs) are subjected to cyclic reciprocating dynamic loads in practice, which eventually leads to damage accumulation and structure failure.

Assessing the Role of Longitudinal Variability of Vertical Track Stiffness in the Long-Term Deterioration [PDF]
, 2016 The performance of the railway system in terms of dynamic loading is depending mainly on the track support conditions. Usually, the track stiffness is used as the main parameter to describe the support conditions and is defined as the ratio of the load ...

An Introduction to the Methodology of Earthquake Resistant Structures of Uniform Response
Buildings, 2012 Structures of Uniform Response are special earthquake resistant frames in which members of similar groups such as beams, columns and braces of similar nature share the same demand-capacity ratios regardless of their location within the group.

Experimental results of fatigue and sustained load tests on autoclaved aerated concrete
Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005 The fatigue strength of concrete is lower than its static strength. An attempt was made to accelerate the destabilisation process due to microcracking by the application of fatigue loads.

Meso-scale modelling of 3D woven composite T-joints with weave variations [PDF]
, 2019 A meso-scale modelling framework is proposed to simulate the 3D woven fibre architectures and the mechanical performance of the composite T-joints, subjected to quasi-static tensile pull-off loading. The proposed method starts with building the realistic
