Flexible fabric formworks and bespoke Wound Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (W-FRP) cages have been proposed to address the difficulties of constructing geometrically optimised concrete structures with minimised material consumptions. However, existing codes practice for FRP reinforced are not able provide accurate shear behaviour predictions, resulting in potential premature anchorage failure. This p...

Non-prismatic beams are widely employed in several engineering fields, e.g., wind turbines, rotor blades, aircraft wings, and arched bridges. While analytical solutions for variable cross-section desirable, a model describing all stress components with general variation of their under generalised loading remains an open important problem to solve. To partly address this issue, we propose soluti...

This study presents an efficient beam formulation for static and vibration analysis of 2D non-prismatic beams with the kinematic assumptions Timoshenko theory. Beams having complex configurations can be straightforwardly constructed by using B-spline basis functions, which are used descriptions axis sectional height. feature enables free-form strong curvatures to performed conveniently accurate...

Micropillar compression technique was employed to study the microscale deformation mechanisms of basal slip, twinning and non-basal slips at selected grains in a Mg-2 wt.% Y alloy. The results suggest critical resolved shear stress (?CRSS) for slip 12.5 ± 1.7 MPa, twin nucleation growth 38.5 1.2 MPa 33.8 0.7 respectively. higher values compared those pure Mg suggests more balanced alloy with ad...

The Unified Formulation (UF) has gained attention as a powerful tool for efficient design of structural components. Due to the inherent flexibility its kinematics representation, arbitrary shape functions can be selected in different dimensions achieve high-fidelity characterisation response under load. Despite this merit, classical isoparametric description UF limits application prismatic stru...

Expression patterns of the shell matrix protein genes MSI31 and MSI60 in the pearl sac epithelium were examined by in situ hybridization 38 days after implantation, and related to pearl quality. A pearl sac that produced a nacreous pearl showed very weak expression of MSI31 and strong expression of MSI60. A pearl sac, which yielded a prismatic pearl, strongly expressed MSI31 and very weakly exp...

Abstract We define, for each quasisyntomic ring R (in the sense of Bhatt et al., Publ. Math. IHES 129 (2019), 199–310), a category $\mathrm {DM}^{\mathrm {adm}}(R)$ admissible prismatic Dieudonné crystals over and functor from p -divisible groups to . prove that this is an antiequivalence. Our main cohomological tool formalism recently developed by Scholze.
