Abstract T‐stubs and L‐stubs loaded in tension are generally assumed contact with a rigid foundation. The prying force stiffness of these components depend on this hypothesis. For double web angle riveted connections, the rests deformable beam/column web. objective present paper is to take into account effects deformability development area, rivet forces tensile stiffness. An enhanced theory be...

A reference architecture for a domain captures the fundamental subsystems common to systems of that domain, as well as the relationships between these subsystems. A reference architecture can be useful both at design time and during maintenance: it can improve understanding of a given system, aid in analyzing trade-offs between different design options, or serve as a template for designing new ...

For over twenty years, the term ‘cosmic web’ has guided our understanding of the large-scale arrangement of matter in the cosmos, accurately evoking the concept of a network of galaxies linked by filaments. But the physical correspondence between the cosmic web and structural-engineering or textile ‘spiderwebs’ is even deeper than previously known, and extends to origami tessellations as well. ...

The aim of this research is to design a controlling loop that eliminates the irregularities in yarn tension during the winding process. In order to achieve this, we employed a relative feedback industrial control system. The yarn tension sensor measures the tension. Its output is analyzed in the automatic controlling unit. This unit adjusts the tension level according to feedback signals, thus ...

A thorough understanding of the physiological processes that underlie muscle tension is foundational to any discussion on environments and substances that alter such a process. The fascial web, an interconnection of the various fascia, extends throughout the entire body and acts to link every area of the body together and connect external and internal structures. It is the fascial tissue that t...

Abstract Impact spreading of droplets in spray coating of paper was investigated using numerical simulation based on a volume-offluid (VOF) model. The results include the effects of droplet size, droplet impact velocity, liquid viscosity, liquid surface tension and paper web velocity on droplet spreading. Pressure and strain rate fields as well as timescales of spreading are reported. The resul...

Design requirements now appear in the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC, 2005b), referred to herein as The Provisions, for steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) that are designed such that their web plates buckle in shear and develop diagonal tension fi eld action when resisting lateral loads. Energy dissipation and ductility during seismic events is principally achiev...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the complication rates of tension-free midurethral slings compared with other surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence, including other tension-free midurethral slings. METHODS A systematic review of the literature using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science was performed in January 2007. Meta-analysis was conducted by using the Review Manager software 4.2. R...

this study investigated the prevalence rates of migrine and tension-type headaches among the students of Shiraz university of medical sciences during the academic year 1996-1997.the study was carried out cross-sectionally on a representative random sample of 310 students selected systematically.A semi structured questionnaire was used to screen headache among the students,applying the internati...
