Comparison of flexural beam behavior due to monotonic loading and loading-unloading scheme

Analytical and Experimental Investigation of I Beam-to-CFT Column Connections under Monotonic Loading (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this study, the behavior characteristics of I beam-to-concrete filled tube (CFT) column connection is studied through experiment and finite element models under the monotonic loading. To validate the finite element modeling, at first, an experimental model is made and experimented. After validation of the finite element modeling, different models were created in the software. The studied par...

Two-machine robotic cell considering different loading and unloading times

In this paper, the researchers have investigated a Concatenated Robot Move (CRM) sequence problem and Minimal Part Set (MPS) schedule problem with different setup times for two-machine robotic cell. They have focused on simultaneous solving of CRM sequence and MPS schedule problems with different loading and unloading times. They have applied a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to provide a go...

Behavior Analysis of the Nonwoven Needle-Punched Polyester Fabrics Due to Compression Loading

Mathematical Modeling of Column-Base Connections under Monotonic Loading

Some considerable damage to steel structures during the Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake occurred. Among them, many exposed-type column bases failed in several consistent patterns, such as brittle base plate fracture, excessive bolt elongation, unexpected early bolt failure, and inferior construction work, etc. The lessons from these phenomena led to the need for improved understanding of column base...

The XPS Approach to Loading and Unloading Terabyte Databases

The loader was developed on top of the existing Parallel Data Query (PDQ) iterator infrastructure. The loader and converter are iterators. The server treats the load iterator tree just like any other iterator tree and is able to use existing algorithms for parallelization and resource allocation. This also allows the loader functionality to have low level access to SQL functions. The XPS loader...
