Li4SiO4 has been widely studied as tritium breeder and high temperature CO2 capture material. Tritium breeding rate adsorption capacity are closely related to lithium content microstructure. Since sintering temperatures result in grain coarsening sublimation, it is a great challenge prepare ceramics with satisfactory mechanical strength at low temperature. In this work, mesoporous silica was us...

Limitation of forces can be a simple measure to safeguard crushing points at doors, machines, and vehicles. In this connection different standards define a threshold force value of 150 N. This widely accepted value refers to static forces only. The dynamic forces that arise from impact on a person are frequently ignored, although they are generally higher than the static forces. The article des...

The offshore wind industry is growing at high pace and is already one of the major renewable energy sources in Europe. To support this growth, costs must be further decreased, amongst others by efficiently designing the support structure of the offshore wind turbines. This requires accurate prediction of environmental loading such as dynamic ice-structure interaction. From industry practice it ...

in this paper a performance analysis is presented for a cable-suspended parallel manipulator. experimental results from some first tests are presented and discussed to validate the theoretical calculation of load carrying capacity. the load-carrying capacity during a given trajectory is obtained. this computational technique is tested on a typical planar cable suspended manipulator. the experim...

This study evaluated the effect of macro steel fiber (SF), micro glass fiber (GF) and micro polypropylene fiber (PF) in lightweight aggregate concrete, (LWAC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Firstly, concrete mixtures with different volume fractions of GF, PF and SF were tested up to compressive strength, then determine the optimum fiber content GF, PF and SF a...

Thin-walled structures like crash boxes may be used as energy absorption members in automotive chassis. There have been many studies addressing the behaviors of energy absorption members on frontal crash. These researches have attempted to predict the energy absorption and maximum impact load in shell structures. The energy absorption and maximum impact load depend on many parameters including ...
