A protein of subunit Mr 34,000 (corrected here and subsequently to 36,000) has been isolated from a muscle homogenate which catalyzes the formation of the triad junction from isolated transverse tubules and terminal cisternae. This protein is identified as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase on the basis of N-terminal amino acid sequence, amino acid composition, and enzymic activity. The o...

A series of experimental runs were carried out on a small blown film line to investigate the effect of processing parameters on the mechanical properties of the film that was produced. Three different dies were used and for each die the throughput (mass flow rate), freeze line height and blow-up ratio were varied, with take-up velocity adjusted to give a fixed nominal gauge (film thickness). On...

This study presents critical buckling of functionally graded soft ferromagnetic porous (FGFP) rectangular plates, under magnetic field with simply supported boundary condition. Equilibrium and stability equations of a porous rectangular plate in transverse magnetic field are derived. The geometrical nonlinearities are considered in the Love-Kirchhoff hypothesis sense. The formulations are compa...

Motivated by the high level of strength and toughness of spider silk and its multifunctional nature, this paper reports on the engineering properties of individual fibers from Nephila Clavipes spider drag line under uniaxial tension, transverse compression and torsional deformation. The tensile properties were compared to the Argiope Aurentia spider silk and show different ultimate strength but...

The fatigue strength assessment of welded joints by using the known parent material fatigue strength is considered in this paper. The stress concentration factor was determined performing FEA of singlesided transverse attachment joints for mean value of weld toe radius which was calculated by using several measurements of the weld toe radius along the weld length. The fatigue strength of welded...

Background: Although most of the physical and mechanical properties of denture base resin polymerized by the conventional heat polymerization have been studied, the effect of autoclave processing in these properties has not been fully determined. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of two different cycles of autoclave processing on the transverse strength, impact strength,...

purpose– analysis of non-prismatic beams has been focused of attention due to wide use in complex structures such as aircraft, turbine blades and space vehicles. apart from aesthetic aspect, optimization of strength and weight is achieved in use of this type of structures. the purpose of this paper is to present new shape functions, namely 3-node basic displacement functions (bdfs) for derivati...
