rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

It is aimed with this paper to put smart city into economy perspective by conceptual framework and analysis. The relation of components local economic development have been discussed. Therefore, study has three key parts. first part highlights the literature. Smart approach discussing in terms institutional based, environment based based. a new reflection approach. as one component enables incr...

Abstract Strength is an important characteristic of material mechanical properties. Based on the microcrack model and considering internal friction effect between crack surfaces, uniaxial tensile compressive strength theoretical which can reflect anisotropy materials derived established by using initiation criteria maximum circumferential stress strain, coefficient Poisson’s ratio. By introduci...

The re-conceptualization of knowledge translation (KT) in Kitson and colleagues’ manuscript “Using Complexity and Network Concepts to Inform Healthcare Knowledge Translation” is an advancement in how one can incorporate implementation into the KT process. Kitson notes that “the challenge is to explain how it might help in the healthcare policy, practice, and research communities.” We propose th...

Integrated thermal protection system (ITPS) is regarded as one of the most promising concepts with both insulation and load-bearing capacities. However, traditional layout webs could inevitably lead to short effects high risk buckling failure ITPS. A topological optimization method for unit cell ITPS was established minimize equivalent conductivity elastic strain energy constraint maintaining s...

The basic partial differential equation PDE models for supply chain networks with re-entrant nodes and their macroscopic are proposed. However, through numerical examples, the basic continuummodels do not performwell for multiple re-entrant systems. Then, a new state equation considering the re-entrant degree of the products is introduced to improve the effectiveness of the basic continuum mode...
