Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) Test is a fast and accurate three-point bending test, which was originally used in rock mechanics. SCB test is going to be an accepted test method for asphalt concrete pavements. Different asphalt-mixture property-values such as tensile strength, stress intensity factor and fatigue can be obtained by this test. In this study, static and dynamic tests including SCB te...

Up to now, mainly uniaxial accelerometers are described in most publications concerning this subject. However, triaxial accelerometers are needed in the biomedical field. Commercially available triaxial accelerometers consisting of three orthogonally positioned uniaxial devices do not meet all specifications of the biomedical application. Therefore, a new highly symmetrical inherently triaxial ...

We construct self-consistent dynamical models for disk galaxies with triaxial, cuspy halos. We begin with an equilibrium, axisymmetric, disk-bulge-halo system and apply an artificial acceleration to the halo particles. By design, this acceleration conserves energy and thereby preserving the system’s differential energy distribution even as its phase space distribution function is altered. The h...

非圧密非排水（UU）三軸圧縮試験（以下，UU 三軸圧縮試験）や土の繰り返し非排水三軸圧縮試験（以下，液状化強度試験）は，各種サンプラーで採取した土質試料から必要な供試体数を作製する。これらの供試体は，異なる深度で作製されるが均質性があると見做される（以下，現行法）。しかし，著者らは，この見做し事項が供試体の不均質性に繋がり，試験結果に影響を与えると考えた。また，これらの試験結果が設計で採用されないことが多くある。そこで，供試体の不均質性を改善するため口径を拡大した三重管サンプラーによる土質試料から，同一深度の供試体を用いた土質試験を提案する（以下，提案法）。実証実験として，現行法と提案法の盛土のUU 三軸圧縮試験の比較，提案法の沖積砂質土および盛土の砂質土の液状化強度試験を実施した。これらの結果から，提案法は現行法を改善できることが確認できたので報告する。

A triaxial accelerometer is placed at the back of the subject at the height of the center of mass. Force plate data are collected simultaneously. Subjects stand in a comfortable position with eyes open, eyes closed and doing cognitive tasks; and with feet together with eyes open and closed. The cognitive tasks are: mathematical, auditory Stroop and memory. The force plate data are processed to ...

In this paper, application of energy-based excess pore pressure generation model proposed by Park et al. (2008) to develop an improved model for the analysis of liquefaction potential and to predict excess pore pressure (EPP) is examined through experimental and analytical investigations. For more realistic description of the dynamic responses of saturated sand undrained dynamic triaxial tests ...

The present study concerns compressive and flexural constitutive models incorporated into an isoparametric beam finite element scheme for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) and concrete composites, using their multi-axial constitutive behavior. The constitutive behavior of concrete was treated in triaxial stress states as an orthotropic hypoelasticity-based formulation to determine the confinement ...

We present a simple method, based on the deformation of spherically symmetric potentials, to construct explicit axisymmetric and triaxial MOND densitypotential pairs. General guidelines to the choice of suitable deformations, so that the resulting density distribution is nowhere negative, are presented. This flexible method offers for the first time the possibility to study the MOND gravitation...

UNLABELLED A triaxial accelerometer worn on the thigh can provide information on the angle of rotation of the thigh. These data may be used to estimate periods of lying versus sitting. PURPOSE To develop and test a classification algorithm to identify sedentary events as either lying or sitting events using a thigh-worn, triaxial accelerometer. METHODS Seven-day free-living activity from 14...
