In this paper is shown a new way to use Magneto-Dielectric Materials (MDM) in order miniaturize monopole antennas. It proposed load an antenna with MDM the relative permeability achieve first 17% miniaturization rate. Then, better miniaturization, it add metal parasitic plates on both sides of material permittivity ensure capacitance useful shift antenna’s resonant frequency. By combining loadi...

Pre-formed defects created by high-velocity impact have the potential to reduce structural integrity of lightweight, flexible structures. This study evaluates effect complex, partially confined detonations on thin steel plates with realistic pre-formed defects. Target containing pre-cut circular holes a diameter 8.0 mm are compared target exposed an initial ballistic from 7.62 APM2 projectiles....

Fine-grained compressible soils are usually associated with strength challenges in the course of carrying structures, roadways, embankments, and other civil engineering facilities. In addition, due to their low permeabilities, take an awfully long duration achieve optimal consolidation, its attendant negative effects on facilities supported by soils. Engineering practitioners researchers have e...

Abstract This paper describes an experimental investigation into confinement effects provided by circular tubular sections to rubberised concrete materials under combined loading. The tests include specimens with 0%, 30% and 60% rubber replacement of mineral aggregates volume. After describing the arrangements specimen details, results bending eccentric compression are presented, together compl...
