This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...

We have measured differential cross sections (DCSs) for the vibrationally inelastic scattering process H + o-D(2)(v = 0, j = 0,2) --> H + o-D(2)(v' = 1-4, j' even). Several different collision energies and nearly the entire range of populated product quantum states are studied. The products are dominantly forward-scattered in all cases. This behavior is the opposite of what is predicted by the ...

Simulating stochastic structures with inelastic material behavior is often done Monte Carlo simulations. The method robust but needs a huge computational effort. We propose new approach for the dynamic simulation of viscoelastic effort in magnitude one deterministic simulation. It based on separation viscous evolution equation time-dependent and time-independent terms. present calculation effec...

Total inelastic pp cross-sections are reconstructed for laboratory kinetic energies ranging from 0.3 to 400 GeV. They are obtained by fitting together the sum of total cross-sections for exclusive inelastic channels, the sum of topological cross-sections and the results for independent « direct » measurements. The inelastic np cross-sections are reconstructed in the energy range below 4.2 GeV u...

In inclusive deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering multi-photon exchange between the leptonic and the hadronic part of the process causes single spin asymmetries. The asymmetries exist for a polarized target as well as a polarized incoming or outgoing lepton, if the polarization vector has a component transverse with respect to the reaction plane. The spin dependent parts of the single polari...

The contributions to the cross sections of intermediate energy two-nucleon knockout reactions from events in which one nucleon is removed by the stripping (inelastic breakup) mechanism and a second by the diffraction (elastic breakup) mechanism are discussed. The small additional contributions from two-nucleon diffraction events are also estimated. The approach used combines the eikonal reactio...

nuclei singles out the isotopic spin exchange part, Vb• of the neutron-proton interaction inside nuclei. Thus a comparison of the experimental cross section for this reaction with a detailed theoretical calculation of the cross section ought to provide the potential Vb of (2). It is important to note that no one has yet succeeded in calculating the correct absolute magnitude of the cross sectio...
