The behavior of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and reinforced concrete (RC) floors in a multi-story building is investigated this paper. load-bearing capacity, fire resistance, sound insulation characteristics the are main focus research. In order to achieve goal, four-story having RC modeled, analyzed, designed using StruSoft FEM-Design software (FEM) following Eurocodes Swedish national annex. ...

Temperature variation intensively affects parameters of the friction force, particularly the average bristle deflections. In our earlier research work, a temperature dependent friction compensation scheme was developed for serial rigid robot manipulators which was comprised of a temperature dependent viscous friction compensation scheme and a temperature dependent disturbance rejection scheme. ...

Thoracic responses between the Hybrid III model and the THUMS human body model were compared in three frontal impact severities for two belt (3-point and criss-cross), two belt load limiter (constant and degressive) and two airbag types (symmetric and non-symmetric). The thoracic responses were evaluated by measurements of chest deflections (mid-sternum and multi-point measured), chest excursio...

"Large and small deflections of a cantilever beam".Large and small deflections of a cantilever beam". ABSTRACT The classical problem of deflection of a cantilever beam of linear elastic material, under the action of an external vertical concentrated load at the free end, is analyzed. We present the differential equation governing the behaviour of this physical system and show that this equation...

A transverse multipole expansion is derived, including the longitudinal components necessarily present in regions of varying magnetic field profile. It can be used for exact numerical orbit following through the fringe-field regions of magnets whose end designs introduce no extraneous components, i.e., fields not required to be present by Maxwell's equations. Analytic evaluations of the deflect...

Current building codes lack explicit recommendations on how to simulate the seismic performance of high-rise buildings with multiple underground stories. Designers are typically basing their analyses on subjective engineering judgment and experience. Recent researches shows that seismic response of buildings with basement walls is a complicated phenomenon. This paper studies the seismic behavio...

The Hubble Deep Field (North) and the flanking fields are used investigate the occurrence of multiple weak lensing deflections along the line of sight in relatively deep imaging data (zlens ∼ 0.6, zsource ∼ 1.2). Ray tracing simulations of galaxy–galaxy lensing in the HDF-North show that proper inclusion of multiple weak deflections is important for a correct prediction of the net shear for mos...

Weak-lensing distortions of the cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) temperature and polarization patterns can reveal important clues to the intervening large-scale structure. The effect of lensing is to deflect the primary temperature and polarization signal to slightly different locations on the sky. Deflections due to density fluctuations, gradient-type for the gradient of the projected gravita...

Rodent whisker sensation occurs both actively, as whiskers move rhythmically across objects, and in a passive mode in which externally applied deflections are sensed by static, non-moving whiskers. Passive whisker stimuli are robustly encoded in the somatosensory (S1) cortex, and provide a potentially powerful means of studying cortical processing. However, whether S1 contributes to passive sen...
