in this research, a braiding-pultrusion production line is developed by modifying a conventional textile maypole braiding machine and adding it to a pultrusion line for production of braid-pultruded (bp) composite rods. in order to evaluate the mechanical properties of bp rods and study the effect of some braiding parameters, they were produced with different braid roving linear densities and b...

Measuring the elastic modulus of in-situ rock masses over scales of tens of meters remains an important challenge in experimental rock mechanics. We present a new approach using ambient resonance measurements of freestanding rock masses to identify vibrational modes, which are then matched with numerical models implementing bulk, globally representative material properties. The result is an exp...

The Poisson’s ratio, bulk modulus, Young’s modulus and of rigidity are the elastic moduli that frequently employed in engineering practice. In industrial world, data utilised to assess material strength. When considering polycrystalline (such as spinel ferrites, superconduc- tors, perovskites garnets) expose mechanical stresses, information material’s magnetic, electric, dielectric properties a...

Dynamic modulus characterizes the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt materials and is the most important input parameter for design and rehabilitation of flexible pavements using Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Laboratory determination of dynamic modulus is very expensive and time consuming. To overcome this challenge, several predictive models were developed to determine dyn...

background: as various implant geometries present different biomechanical behaviors, the purpose of this work was to study stress distribution around tapered and cylindrical threaded implant geometries using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis.     methods: seven implant models were constructed using the cad system. after digitized models of mandibular section, the crowns were crea...

Resilient modulus of pavement materials is a key property required for the pavement thickness design. This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the effects of temperature and loading frequency on the resilient modulus of a SBS polymer modified asphalt concrete under dry and saturated conditions. Dynamic creep tests were conducted on dry and saturated specimens of the mixture ...
