The mechanism of blast damage to steel-clad concrete-filled steel tube (SCCFST) arched protective doors is studied using the dynamic response characteristics such loads under action shock wave loads, and ultimate load-bearing capacity formula derived based on “plastic hinge” mode limit analysis, which explores effect wave. design parameters each component door subjected waves discussed. Results...

Deployable structures made from ultrathin composite materials can be folded elastically and are able to selfdeploy by releasing the stored strain energy. This paper presents a detailed study of the folding and deployment of a tape-spring hingemade from a two-ply plain-weave laminate of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. A particular version of this hinge was constructed, and its moment-rotation p...

Moment resisting frames as one of the conventional lateral load resisting systems in buildings suffer from some limitations including code limitations on minimum span-to-depth ratio to ensure the formation of plastic hinges with adequate length at beam ends. According to seismic codes, in ordinary steel moment resisting frames the minimum span-to-depth ratios should be limited to 5 and in speci...

This paper discusses the ultimate strength of composite plate girders with intermediate inclined stiffeners. The inclination angle stiffener, web opening size and span length are key factors influencing performance girder. study used LUSAS software to develop 20 non-linear finite element models using stiffener different angles, sizes lengths. have an 90°, 75°, 60°, 45° 30°. plates were divided ...

The pulsation of the bubbles resulting from underwater explosions can lead to severe damage structure ship’s hull, and even its sinking. To study mechanism a simplified hull girder (SHG) subjected near-field explosion bubble, Coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian (CEL) method based on verifications calculation accuracy was used simulate 11 SHG structures. sagging bend SHGs analyzed perspective plastic hi...

We report here the engineering of a humanized anti-human EphA2 mAb (mAb 12G3H11) in an effort to explore the relationship between the hinge of a human IgG1 and its effector functions. mAb 12G3H11, used here as a model, is directed against the human receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2, which is an actively investigated target for cancer therapy due to its up-regulation in many cancer cells. Various r...
