Abstract This paper studies the non-linear distribution of bond–slip behavior in steel concrete interface a Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFST). Specifically, it concerns regions geometric discontinuity occurring composite beams CFST column-frame connection points. The study was conducted through an analytical model that represented bond stress transfer mechanism within these areas. resulting ded...

The acoustic pressure sensitivities of hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBFs) with different thicknesses of silica outer-cladding and polymer jacket were experimentally investigated. Experiment with a HC-PBF with 7 μm-thick silica outer cladding and 100 μm-thick Parylene C jacket demonstrated a pressure sensitivity 10 dB higher than the commercial HC-1550-02 fiber and 25 dB higher than a...

We present the design and architecture for a device called the “Conductor’s Jacket,” which we built to collect and analyze data from conductors. This device is built into normal clothing and designed in such a way as to allow for normal activity and not encumber the movements of the wearer. The jacket records physiological and motion information from musicians in order to better understand how ...

This article investigates the behaviour of strengthened concrete columns using jacketing ultra-high-performance fiber reinforced (UHPFRC) and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) under uniaxial loaded. The jacket was connected to column core shear connectors fixed as a strip on tension zone between cores jacketing. Seven samples square cross-section (120 x120) mm at midsection with overall le...

In this paper, optimization and control of a tubular reactor for thermal bulk post-polymerization of styrene have been investigated. By using the reactor mathematical model, static and dynamic simulations are carried out. Based on an objective function including polymer conversion and polydispersity, reactor optimal temperature profile has been obtained. In the absence of model mismatch, de...

We present the design and implementation of the Conductor's Jacket, a unique wearable device that measures physiological and gestural signals, together with the Gesture Construction, a musical software system that interprets these signals and applies them expressively in a musical context. Sixteen sensors have been incorporated into the Conductor's Jacket in such a way as to not encumber or int...

Abstract The unwanted vibrations of offshore structures induced by wave or earthquake loads can lead to the reduction service life and fatigue failure platforms. This paper introduces tuned inerter damper (TID) a jacket platform as passive control device for mitigating excessive structure loads. An analytical design method is proposed platforms influence installation location on modal response ...

We report a 58-year-old man with multiple yellow jacket stings who developed urticaria, renal failure, quadriparesis, rhabdomyolysis in succession. Investigations revealed renal and hepatic dysfunction, proteinuria, demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, acute tubular necrosis and glomerulonephritis. He improved with methylprednisolone, antihypertensives and two sessions of haemodialysis.
