Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns are composite sections that may contribute to reduce the environmental impact in construction through a more efficient use of resources. By embedding profile inside CFST section, new typology is generated, so-called steel-reinforced concrete-filled (SR-CFST) columns, which enhance not only structural capacity these at room temperature but also their ...

We explore an acoustic scattering cancellation shell for buoyant hollow cylinders submersed in a water background. A thin, low-shear, elastic coating is used to cancel the monopole scattering from an air-filled, neutrally buoyant steel shell for all frequencies where the wavelength is larger than the object diameter. By design, the uncoated shell also has an effective density close to the aqueo...

A comparison of 4 × 4 multiple-input multiple-output wireless local area network wireless communication characteristics for six different geometrical shapes is investigated. These six shapes include the straight shape corridor with rectangular cross section, the straight shape corridor with arched cross section, the curved shape corridor with rectangular cross section, the curved shape corridor...

This paper investigates the experimental program on the study of heat transfer characteristics in micro-channels. The two test sections used are of 47 and 50 micro-channels in rectangular cross-section of equivalent diameters 387 and 327 μm respectively. Each channel of length 192 mm is fabricated on a 304 stainless steel substrate (230 mm x 160 mm x 1.6 mm) by photo chemical etching process. C...

Beam instability caused by the electron cloud has been observed in positron and proton storage rings and it is expected to be a limiting factor in the performance of the positron Damping Ring (DR) of future Linear Colliders such as ILC and CLIC [1, 2]. In the Positron Low Energy Ring (LER) of the PEP-II accelerator, we have installed vacuum chambers with rectangular grooves in a straight magnet...

The rapid growth in the use of Micro/Nano products in variety of industries such as Micro electromechanical systems (MEMS), microelectronics, Biomedical/Bio-MEMS, automotive (motion sensors), telecommunications etc, has demanded new micro manufacturing methods. The challenge with the manufacturing of Microfluidic devices/biochips is that they often make use of broad range of materials within a ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the torque efficacy of square and rectangular wires in 0.018- and 0.022-in. conventionally ligated brackets. METHODS Brackets of the same prescription were evaluated in both slot dimensions. Identical acrylic resin models of the maxilla were bonded with the brackets and mounted on the Orthodontic Measurement and Simulation System. Ten 0.018 × 0....

An experimental set up consisting of an upper typodont with ivorine teeth was employed. It was fitted with the Begg brackets. Rectangular wire sectionals in 0.016"x 0.022", 0.017" x 0.025", 0.018" x 0.025" and 019" x 0.025" sizes and made of Stainless Steel, Braided Stainless Steel, Superelastic NiTi, Braided NiTi, Copper NiTi, a -Titanium and BTitanium were tested. The MAA and the four spur to...

In order to study the compression bearing capacity of concrete-filled rectangular stainless steel tubular columns, influence tube thickness, relative eccentricity, and slenderness ratio on is analyzed, then calculation formula proposed. The results show that finite element model can effectively simulate capacity, mean calculations Nufem test Nuexp 0.985, variance 0.000621. eccentricity have a g...
