FULL-SCALE TESTS AND ANALYTICAL MODELING OF HIGH-DAMPING RUBBER BEARINGS UNDER TWO HORIZONTAL DIRECTIONAL LOADING

Assessment of Resistance to Rutting of High Modulus Bituminous Mixtures Using Full-scale Accelerated Loading Tests

In anticipation of the introduction of high modulus materials in the Swiss standards, a research project has been carried out for the evaluation of these bituminous mixtures. These mixtures make possible to reduce rut in base courses. With a temperature of 50°C, three test sections (two with high modulus and one with a reference material for base layer), were built in a building for ALT and wer...

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...

Plastic Behavior of Metallic Damping Materials under Cyclical Shear Loading

Metallic shear panel dampers (SPDs) have been widely adopted in seismic engineering. In this study, axial and torsional specimens of four types of metallic damping materials, including three conventional metallic steels as well as low yield strength steel 160 (LYS160), were tested in order to investigate the material response under repeated large plastic strain and low cycle fatigue between 10 ...

degradation of oil impregnated paper insulation under influence of repetitive fast high voltage impulses

در طی سالهای اخیراستفاده ازمنابع انرژی تجدید پذیر در شبکه های مدرن بنا به دلایل زیست محیطی و اقتصادی به طور گسترده استفاده شده است همچون نیروگاههای بادی و خورشیدی .ولتاژتولیدی این نیروگاهها اغلب به فرم dc می باشد وادوات الکترونیک قدرت به عنوان مبدل و پل بین شکل موج dc وac استفاده می شوند.این پروسه باعث ایجاد پالسهایی برروی شکل موج خروجی می شود که می تواند وارد تجهیزات قدرت همچون ترانسفورماتور ی...
