in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

this paper deals with the solution of a column with balcony loads. it is intended to determine the expressions for deflections and bending moments of the sections of a column under the action of transmitted loads from a balcony loaded at its free end by a force «p» and rigidly connected to the column somewhere between its ends. the action of this load on the column is equivalent to that of the ...

To prevent the spread of highly contagious coronavirus, government regulates health protocol, such as limitation gathering, close school and changing education system from conventional to virtual started level elementary even college level. As one solutions learn media learning, use smartphones is increasingly significant. The longer duration using a smartphone will cause condition named Forwar...

Abstract Wind is one of the most destructive external loads transmission lines, and typhoon-caused severe damage or even destruction electric power facilities occurred frequently. In order to research critical wind speed instability failure UHV tower-line coupling system under typhoon, line in Zhejiang chosen as subject a finite element model established. By using improved generalized force cal...

A set of state-of-the-art FE vehicle, restraint system, dummy, and whole body human models was constructed and validated against several sets of quasi-static and dynamic rollover tests. HIII dummy responses during three selected trip-over scenarios were simulated using an FE vehicle model equipped with four different roof stiffness values. It was found that the high dummy head accelerations and...

Blast wave overpressure has been associated with varying levels of traumatic brain injury in soldiers exposed to blast loading. In realistic blast loading scenarios, the mechanisms of primary blast injury are not well known due to the complex interactions of the blast wave with the human body, and the high acceleration experienced over very short time durations. The purpose of this study was to...

This report is an update of the review for ramp-based baggage handling related literature undertaken in 2005 (Tapley and Riley, 2005). The aim of this review is to present information relating to alternative methods of loading narrow-bodied aircraft that reduce the manual handling related injury and ill-health risks to the handlers, and to identify knowledge gaps. This was used to inform subseq...

The Hybrid III 6-year-old ATD has been benchmarked against adult-scaled component level tests but the lack of biomechanical data hinders the effectiveness of the procedures used to scale the adult data to the child. Whole body kinematic validation of the pediatric ATD through limited comparison to post mortem human subjects (PMHS) of similar age and size has revealed key differences attributed ...
