Investigating strut and tie model in deep beams [PDF]
, 2021 The Strut-and-Tie model (STM) approach evolves as one of the most useful design methods for shear critical structures and for other disturbed regions in concrete structures. The model provides a rational approach by representing a complex structural member with an appropriate simplified truss model.

Generation of Strut-and-Tie Models and Stress Fields for Structural Concrete [PDF]
Structures Congress 2019, 2019 Strut-and-tie models are principally the discretized stress fields, which simplify the dimensioning and detailing of reinforced concrete members. The computational generation of stress fields currently relies on finite element analysis or optimization methods.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Quality in early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a contested concept and has generally been conceptualised by inter‐related indicators such as staff qualifications, educational environment, policy or child‐to‐staff ratios. There has been a more limited emphasis on how young children might perceive and experience quality.

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2019 The search for representative resistant systems for a concrete structure requires deep knowledge about its mechanical behavior. Strut-and-tie models are classic analysis procedures to the design of reinforced concrete regions where there are stress ...

Major Cybersecurity Breaches: Shaping Corporate Cybersecurity Policies and Closing the Gaps
Journal of Corporate Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As digitalization accelerates, cybercrime has intensified in both scale and impact over the past two decades. This study aims to critically examine major cybersecurity events, assess them through the lens of routine activity theory, examine insight from three other established criminological and organizational theories, and address central ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.
