A new type of connection has been developed for steel-braced frame systems that allows the brace members to undergo compression buckling in in-plane direction. In addition inherent benefits (IPB) braces help reducing extent damage non-structural components, IPB system is also considered be an efficient way retrofitting existing seismically deficient structures. The use compact and thicker gusse...

in investigation of dynamic specifications of castellated beams, it is necessary to be studied the excitation intensity of dynamic mode shapes for different loading conditions. it is evident that for a specific loading, not all modes of a structure are excited and the structural response depends on the applied loading specifications. in this paper using the finite element method (based on ansys...

NiTi alloy has been used as the raw material for making endodontic files. The interest in NiTi instrument research has not waned with time. In fact, there is a renewed interest in this field, notably through the application of modern research tools and techniques from other fields, making it a truly cross-disciplinary area of research. In 1988, Walia and colleagues introduced nickeltitanium (Ni...

It is well known how the main frame of a motorcycle plays an important rule in vehicle dynamics. In order to understand the main influences of this component, a dedicated test rig was design and realized. Numerical and experimental experiences were done with the aim to identify static stiffness, natural frequencies and vibration modes of a motorcycle frame. A dedicated test rig was designed and...
