This paper presents large-scale bending test, up to 19 m length, on glued laminated timber (GLT) beams with well-known beam setup and a model predict the tensile strength of finger joint connections (FJ). Machine graded boards, information about dynamic stiffness local knottiness were used fabricate 12 GLT beams. The position boards tracked throughout fabrication. To quantify quality FJ additio...

Abstract This paper deals with the experimental and numerical analysis of three-point bending phenomenon on beam composite profiles. Flat rectangular test specimens made carbon–epoxy composite, characterised by symmetric [0/90/0/90]s laminate ply lay-up, were used in this study. Experimental testing was carried out a COMETECH universal machine, using special heads. In addition, macroscopic eval...

Recently, human activity recognition (HAR) techniques have made remarkable developments in the field of machine learning. In this paper, we classify gestures using data collected from a curved piezoelectric sensor, including elbow movement, wrist turning, bending, coughing, and neck bending. The classification process relies on sensor. Machine learning algorithms enabled with K-mer are develope...

in this study, the microstructure and properties of foam glass obtained as a result of the interaction of the waste glass with sic as the foaming agent and fe2o3 as the oxidizing agent have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem), as well as three-point bending and pycnometery tests. first, the temperature and optimized amount of sic for making foam glass was determined. the ...

Scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. One of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. This postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...
