Multi-storey steel buildings are usually designed with rigid connections between beams and columns or simple hinged a stiffening system. The paper focuses on the 3D structural design of multi-storey including floor slabs shear walls. method numerical modelling has been applied to investigate influence certain elements lateral stiffness building structure, when walls considered in design. Four h...

This study considers an analytical method to detect the damage location from the moment diagram calculated by the external forces and the forces required for obtaining the same deflections as the measurement deflections. The measured deflections must be a part of displacements to restrict the static behavior of the damaged beam. The constraint forces acting at measurement points are derived by ...

To identify the correlates of a single cortical action potential in surface EEG, we recorded simultaneously epidural EEG and single-unit activity in the primary somatosensory cortex of awake macaque monkeys. By averaging over EEG segments coincident with more than hundred thousand single spikes, we found short-lived (≈ 0.5 ms) triphasic EEG deflections dominated by high-frequency components >80...

The aim of this paper is to compare the static deflections and stress results of layered and functionally graded composite beams under static load. In the comparison study, the results obtained for a cantilever beam under point load. The Timoshenko beam and the Euler-Bernoulli beam theories are used in the beam model. The energy based Ritz method is used for the solution of the problem and alge...

In the last years, new connectors of steel-concrete composite flooring systems have been developed and investigated to enhance circularity standardisation building components. Recent studies showed that timber can be used as an alternative concrete slab in hybrid structures. However, knowledge steel-timber is still very limited. This contribution presents numerical investigations steel-LVL beam...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the deflection forces of Nitinol orthodontic wires placed in different types of brackets: metallic, reinforced polycarbonate with metallic slots, sapphire, passive and active self-ligating, by assessing strength values variation according to gradual increase in wire diameter and deflection and comparing different combinations in the different...
