Laminated glass structures are formed by stiff layers of glass connected with a compliant plastic interlayer. Due to their slenderness and heterogeneity, they exhibit a complex mechanical response that is difficult to capture by single-layer models even in the elastic range. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an efficient and reliable finite element approach to the simulation of the imme...

verifying the behavior of shear walls in a tall building requires reliable response results. this paper examined nonlinear fiber element modeling of a slender reinforced concrete shear wall during large-scale shaking table testing. the goal was to understand and validate the inelastic responses given by fiber models using time history analysis. reasonable agreement was found between the numeric...

Light-induced interlayer ultrafast charge transfer in 2D heterostructures provides a new platform for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications. The charge separation process is generally hypothesized to be dependent on the interlayer stackings and interactions, however, the quantitative characteristic and detailed mechanism remain elusive. Here, a systematical study on the interlayer charge...

This work is devoted on the rheological behavior of ethylene glycol based nanofluids containing maghemtite nanoparticles. The size of these maghemite nanoparticles was measured using XRD and found to be about <50 nm. Major factors that influence on viscosity and rheological behavior, such as, temperature and particle mass concentration, were investigated over 25–80°C and 0.2 and 2% respectivel...

We study interlayer transport in double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids in the weak tunneling limit, in particular the effects of lead geometry on the I-V characteristics of interlayer tunneling. We proposed several practical ways to study experimentally the novel interlayer transport properties in the double-layered (mmm) quantum Hall liquids. Some concrete predictions on the DC characteris...

During consolidation process of saturated cohesive soil the soil stiffness increases. Increase of the effective stress due to dissipation of excess pore pressure causes additional stiffness of soil mass. This phenomenon has a very important effect on the behavior of saturated cohesive soils during dynamic loading. In the current investigation the changes in maximum shear modulus. Gmax and dampi...

Study on the interlayer has developed associated with in-depth exploration and development of oil fields, which is an indispensable part to characterize reservoir heterogeneity. This study relates to a comprehensive research method of interlayer in rhythmic layering in continental low permeability reservoirs. During the process of waterflooding development, distribution characteristics of inter...

The melt rheological properties of layered silicate nanocomposites with maleic anhydride (MA) functionalized polypropylene are contrasted to those based on ammonium-terminated polypropylene. While the MA functionalized PP based nanocomposites exhibit solid-like linear viscoelastic behavior, consistent with the formation of a long-lived percolated nanoparticle network, the single-end ammonium fu...
