This paper presents an enhanced technique for inverse analysis of photoelastic fringes using neural networks to determine the applied load. The technique may be useful in whole-field analysis of photoelastic images obtained due to external loading, which may find application in a variety of specialized areas including robotics and biomedical engineering. The presented technique is easy to imple...

This paper investigates the experimental response of composite reinforced concrete with GFRP and steel I-sections under limited cycles repeated load. The practical work included testing four beams. A reference beam, two beams pultruded I-sections, a beam I-beam were subjected to loading. loading test started by gradually up maximum 75% ultimate static failure load for five unloading cycles. Aft...

A process employing a computer controlled crane system for controlling the motion of a movable trolley from which a load is suspended at a variable hoist length therefrom to meet a selected arbitrary horizontal velocity reference while preventing sway of the load involves the steps of first, determining a lateral acceleration to reduce by a factor of one-half the sway energy contributed by (1) ...

For studying the effect of eating the food containing carbohydrates with different glycaemic index and glycaemic load 2 hours before athletics on the exercise tolerance and immune function, select 10 men long-distance endurance athletes, use not completely random balance repeated testing methods, randomized complete the three endurance tests. And each test interval is not less than seven days. ...

Research seeking to improve the measurement of workload requires the use of established task load manipulations to impose varying levels of demand on human operators. The present study sought to establish task load manipulations for research utilizing realistically complex task environments that elicit distinct levels of workload (i.e. low, medium, and high). A repeated measures design was used...

menorrhagia is one of the most common gynecological problem and leading causes of poor quality of life and iron deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age. research in gynecological field relies heavily on repeated measure designs. repeated measure studies are helpful in understanding how factors of interest change over time. our goal is to apply statistical methods which are appropriate fo...

K. Semrád, K. Draganová, Faculty of Aeronautics, Technical University of Kosice, Slovakia The article processes issue of strength of cyclically loaded composite structures with the possibility of contactless stress measuring inside a material. For this purpose a contactless tensile stress sensor using improved induction principle based on the magnetic microwires embedded in the composite struct...

Geothermal pavements have the potential to reduce pavement surface temperature by circulating fluid in pipes within structure. This research investigated an innovative geothermal system with multiple benefits, such as reducing and harvesting heat energy for power generation. aimed provide understanding of mechanical properties constructed construction demolition (C&D) waste materials throug...

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...
