Fatigue system reliability analysis of riveted railway bridge connections
A system-based model for fatigue assessment of riveted railway bridge connections, comprising a number of basic components, is presented in this paper. Probabilistic fatigue load spectra are developed through Monte Carlo simulation of train passages over a finite element model of a typical, short-span bridge. Uncertainties arising from loading, resistance and modelling sources are taken into ac...
متن کاملMultiple myocardial bridge in a 59 year-old woman
Introduction: Myocardial bridging is a congenital condition in which a segment of a major epicardial coronary artery has an intra myocardial route. Myocardial bridging is usually confined to a single vessel and is typically the mid segment of the left anterior descending artery. Bridging may be associated with chest pain, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death, or usually asymptomati...
متن کاملIntroduction: One Hundred Year Old Questions, Novel Paradigms and New Findings on Emotion
Emotions are being scientifically scrutinized for the last 150 years and they make up a large slice of the “topic pie” in current Psychology. Charles Darwin and his contemporary Duchenne de Boulogne, pioneer of facial electromyography, inaugurated the scientific approach to emotional behavior and particularly to the facial expressions of emotion. They were shortly followed by William James (188...
متن کاملJournal of Bridge Engineering IMPROVED ASSESSMENT METHODS FOR STATIC AND FATIGUE RESISTANCE OF OLD METALLIC RAILWAY BRIDGES
13 A large number of the bridges in the European railway networks are metallic bridges. 14 The increasing volume of traffic and axle weight of trains mean that for many 15 structures the loads today are much higher than those envisaged when they were 16 designed. This paper presents a summary of the different recommendations and 17 advices proposed in “Guidelines for Load and Resistance Assessm...
متن کاملDesign criterion for fatigue strengthening of riveted beams in a 120-year-old railway metallic bridge using pre-stressed CFRP plates
This study presents a design criterion developed for fatigue strengthening of a 120-year-old metallic railway bridge in Switzerland and presents a pre-stressed un-bonded reinforcement (PUR) system developed to apply the strengthening. The PUR system uses carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates; however, unlike conventional pre-stressed CFRP reinforcement methods, preparation of the existi...
