Cables have always been under consideration as a structural element because of important features such as large strength to weight ratios and long spans. Their equilibrium analysis is an important issue in this regard. But this analysis involves highly nonlinear equations arising from large deformations and material nonlinearity. Different methods have been under use for numerical analysis of s...

Structures consisting of cables and membranes have been of interest to engineers due to their higher ratio of strength to weight and lower cost compared to other structures. One of the challenges in such structures is presence of holes in membranes, which leads to non-uniform stress and strain distributions, even under uniform far-field deformations. One of the approaches suggested for controll...

in this study, the vibration behavior of functional graded (fg) circular and annular nanoplate embedded in a visco-pasternak foundation and coupled with temperature change is studied. the effect of in-plane pre-load and temperature change are investigated on the vibration frequencies of fg circular and annular nanoplate. to obtain the vibration frequencies of the fg circular and annular nanopla...

damping of a full-scale cable with a pair of passive–on magnetorheological (mr) dampers was tested. a cable of 215.58m long with the first mode frequency of 0.658hz was tensioned horizontally in cable prefabrication factory. two mr dampers were attached to the cable in an angle in the plane perpendicularly to the cable axis in 5m length from the cable anchorage. the applied voltage level was 0v...

Due to the influence of load, fatigue, corrosion, natural material aging and other long-term adverse factors, the state of the internal force of a cable-stayed bridge will be changed. These long-term effects can result in the bridge not meeting specified functional requirements, and potentially resulting in structural failure. This investigation focuses on the parameter identification of a gird...

the load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. the cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. the tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...

At the leading edge of healing embryonic epithelium, cables of actin filaments appear to extend from cell to cell, forming a ring around the wound circumference. It has been hypothesized that this actin filament cable functions as a contractile 'purse string' to facilitate wound closure. We have observed this cable in large, circular healing epithelial wounds in corneas of adult mice. To elucid...

Introduction. To achieve a functional atraumatic cochlear implantation, intracochlear pressure changes during the procedure should be minimized. Postinsertional cable movements are assumed to induce intracochlear pressure changes. The aim of this study was to observe intracochlear pressure changes due to postinsertional cable movements. Materials and Methods. Intracochlear pressure changes were...
