In the referenced paper [ 11, the author examines the stability of the planar, linear response of a suspended cable subjected to harmonic axial loading. The study is motivated by a desire to understand the dynamic stability of cables employed in structures such as cablestayed bridges or guy-towers. In these applications, the harmonic axial load derives from the dynamic reaction of the structure...

OBJECTIVE The compressive tolerance of the cervical spine has traditionally been reported in terms of axial force at failure. Previous studies suggest that axial compressive force at failure is particularly sensitive to the alignment of the cervical vertebra and the end conditions of the test methodology used. The present study was designed to develop a methodology to combine the data of previo...

Large-scale model tests were established at a scale of 1/5 using 7 m deep tank with cross-sectional dimension 5 × 4 m, to study the vibration response characteristics ballastless track, embankment, and X-section piled raft foundation under cyclic axial load, including displacement, velocity, dynamic soil, pile stress. Cyclic loading can be achieved by controlling frequency cycles through servo ...

For the first time, structural dynamics and vibrational stability of a viscoelastic axially functionally graded (AFG) beam with both spinning axial motions subjected to an load are analyzed, aim enhance performance bi-gyroscopic systems. A detailed parametric study is also performed emphasize influence various key factors such as material distribution type, viscosity coefficient, coupled rotati...

tehran shomal highway passes through alborz mountains with a tunnel length of 6400 meters. there are two main tunnels. a full three-dimensional (3d) numerical analysis coupled with elasto-plastic material models was conducted on the inclined access tunnel. bending moment, axial force and the lining displacements due to the internal forces applied on the shotcrete lining are calculated. axial fo...

In this study, experimental study on six RC columns with different slenderness ratios under axial rapid loading was conducted to investigate the axial compression behaviour of RC columns considering the effect of strain rates. The failure pattern of the specimens and the relations of axial loading versus the axial deformation were described. From the test results, the specimens under static and...

estimation of river sediment load is one of the most important issues in design of hydraulic structures, investigating water quality, conserving fish habitat, estimating erosion and determining watershed management effects. there are two methods for estimating sediment load: empirical and hydrological methods. existence of numerous empirical methods for estimation of river sediment load and a w...

The zero-stress state of a blood vessel has been extensively studied because it is the reference state for which all calculations of intramural stress and strain must be based. It has also been found to reflect nonuniformity in growth and remodeling in response to chemical or physical changes. The zero-stress state can be characterized by an opening angle, defined as the angle subtended by two ...

The gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43) is involved in mechanotransduction in bone. Recent studies using in vivo models of conditional Cx43 gene (Gja1) deletion in the osteogenic linage have generated inconsistent results, with Gja1 ablation resulting in either attenuated or enhanced response to mechanical load, depending upon the skeletal site examined or the type of load applied. To gain ...
