Performance of Bridge Timber Ties under Static and Dynamic Loading

A dramatic increase in railway car axle loads has occurred over the past 50 years. This paper presents the results of an experimental program undertaken at the University of Manitoba to evaluate the structural performance and durability of treated timber bridge ties under different load levels. A portion of a prototype bridge deck, consisting of eight prototype timber ties, was tested under var...

Crack Influences on the Static and Dynamic Characteristic of a Micro-Beam Subjected to Electro Statically Loading

In the present work the pull-in voltage of a micro cracked cantilever beam subjected to nonlinear electrostatic pressure was studied. Two mathematical models were employed for modeling the problem: a lumped mass model and a classical beam model. The effect of crack in the lumped mass model is the reduction of the effective stiffness of the beam and in the beam model; the crack is modeled as a m...

Modeling of human calvarium under static loading

There are many papers on head modeling in literature [1]. Generally, the topic of most of them is designing and modeling devices for head (especially brain) protection, e.g. helmets. On the other side, most papers are about modeling of whole part of top body (a torso and a head). The main aim of these researches is simulation of the backbone behavior under external load applied to the head. The...
