Many steel rope systems are subjected to fluctuating tensile loads and therefore can fail due fatigue. There indications that the fatigue resistance of full-locked coil ropes is somewhat lower than other types rope. Fatigue test data on have been collected, but they terminate at different conditions. A semi-empirical model employed extrapolate results full failure The resulting S-N curve being ...

The laser-light-sheet-assisted smoke flow visualization technique is performed on a full-size, transparent, commercial grade chemical fume cupboard to diagnose the flow characteristics and to verify the validity of several current containment test methods. The visualized flow patterns identify the recirculation areas that would inevitably exist in the conventional fume cupboards because of the ...

Pluripotency and self renewal are the two primary characteristics of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) [1]-[4]. Pluripotency refers to the capacity of a single cell to give rise to any cell type of an embryo or an adult animal [5],[6]. A mammalian organism is developed from a single fertilized egg, the zygote, in an extremely ordered and error-proof fashion [7]. The zygote and the subsequent 2 to 4...

Many steel rope systems are subjected to fluctuating tensile loads and therefore can fail due fatigue. Available fatigue test data indicate that diameter, mean stress, socket type, lay angle length influence the resistance. Most of tests were terminated before full failure ropes. This paper shows termination criterion, such as fracture first wire, 5 % wires or fracture, has a large on resulting...

Abstract The application of design by finite element analysis (FEA) is becoming increasingly prevalent in applied engineering; however, codified provisions remain scarce. vision CEN/TC 250/SC 3 was to develop a new comprehensive document based on the existing currently distributed throughout different Eurocode parts, and with extension where necessary cover all fields structural steel design. W...
