Beam Elements on Linear Variable Two-Parameter Elastic Foundation [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2008
The traditional way to overcome the shortcomings of the Winkler foundation model is to incorporate spring coupling by assemblages of mechanical elements such as springs, flexural elements (beams in one-dimension, 1-D, plates in 2-D), shear-only layers ...

Evaluation of quality of life outcomes of the Younger People in Residential Aged Care Initiative in Victoria

open access: yes, 2012
Young people should not be forced to live in nursing homes because there is nowhere else for them. The Summer Foundation and Monash University conducted interviews with 68 people with disabilities and families who received services through the five ...

Contrasting three alternative versions of Timoshenko-Ehrenfest theory for beam on Winkler elastic foundation - simply supported beam

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper the free vibration frequencies of beam on one‐parameter (Winkler) elastic foundation are analyzed via original Timoshenko‐Ehrenfest theory as well as two truncated versions of the Timoshenko‐Ehrenfest beam theory. The traditional version of

Evidence for dispersal personality in the guppy across ecological conditions, with a minor effect of relative brain size

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Individuals that disperse typically exhibit specific phenotypical traits that facilitate dispersal and settlement success, known as ‘dispersal syndromes'. Consequentially, characterizing dispersers is crucial to understand other processes such as metapopulation dynamics and biological invasions.

Main‐chain polyfullerenes: Taking fullerene to the next dimension

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
This short review appraises main‐chain polyfullerenes. Their slow development over 30 years has suddenly boomed with a rapid growth due to exciting developments in solar energy. Abstract This mini‐review gives an overview of the development, chemistry, properties and applications of main‐chain polyfullerenes.

Thermoelastic dynamics of viscoelastic nanobeams on elastic foundations under multi-physics interactions

open access: yesResults in Engineering
This study provides a theoretical analysis of the thermoelastic and dynamic behavior of viscoelastic nanobeams on an elastic Winkler foundation. The nanobeam is exposed to axial mechanical loads, periodic thermal fluctuations, and pulsed laser heating ...

Weaknesses and Strengths of the Winkler Method in Designing Foundations

open access: yesJournal for Research in Applied Sciences and Biotechnology
The reaction between the foundation and the soil below it is one of the important issues in civil engineering, and this factor has a significant effect on the behavior of the structure. In this article, first, the basic principles of this method and the simplifications introduced in it are introduced, and then the concept of the most important input ...

Critical Velocity of Pipes Conveying Fluid Resting on Winkler Foundation

open access: yes, 2011
Critical flow velocity of pinned-pinned pipes conveying fluid resting on Winkler foundation is investigated using the Galerkin and complex mode methods. After discretizing the governing equation with the Galerkin method, critical velocity is obtained in ...

NowPrecip 2: Precipitation nowcasting in the complex terrain of Switzerland. Part II: Verification

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In this work we present the verification of the NowPrecip precipitation nowcasting systems (version 1 and version 2). Using 3.5 years of data over the period 2020–2023, their performance is compared with PySTEPS and the ICON numerical weather prediction ensemble by computing deterministic and probabilistic metrics.
