The load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. The cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. Tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. The tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...

The study of the mechanical interaction among the host, interface, and a device embedded within a laminated composite is important. Embedding micro-sensors in composite laminates produces material discontinuity around the inclusions. This in turn produces stress concentrations at or near the inclusions. Both 2D plane strain and 3D FEM models are developed to analyze the stress/strain state surr...

in this paper, the behaviour of buried pipelines under the effect of propagation of seismic waves and faulting is studied seperately. the stability of this type of structure was first studied by using three different methods proposed by newmark-hall, kenndey et al. and wang - yeh under the effect of ground faulting. by parametric study, the effect of soil types, size of pipeline, depth of embed...

Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) is considered as a promising milling method for difficult-to-machine aeronautical materials Inconel alloy 718 (IN718). However, grit embedment during AWJ known detrimental effect on certain applications aircraft repair, where surface condition may play an important role additive material technologies. To overcome this problem, Plain (PWJ) has been used in the present st...

Loneliness is the subjective, unpleasant experience of a perceived discrepancy between the quantity and quality of existing relationships (e.g., with spouse, children, friends) and the relationships one wishes (De Jong Gierveld, Van Tilburg, & Dykstra, 2006; Perlman & Peplau, 1981). Loneliness has to be differentiated from social isolation that concerns the objective characteristics of a situat...

The intrauterine device (IUD) is gaining popularity as a reversible form of contraception. Ultrasonography serves as first-line imaging for the evaluation of IUD position in patients with pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, or absent retrieval strings. This review highlights the imaging of both properly positioned and malpositioned IUDs. The problems associated with malpositioned IUDs include expul...

Biological specimens contain up to 80% or more water which must be substituted in fixed cells (with the exception of special cryo-techniques) by some kind of embedding media to allow mechanical support for the sectioning process. Usually, embedding media cannot directly replace water, and fixation is followed by a sequence of dehydrating solutions from which the last must be miscible with the e...

This paper describes the results of a qualitative study to develop a framework to help organisations to embed useful project management improvement initiatives (PMIIs), which specifically aimed to identify key PMIIs and key embedding factors, based upon the circumstances encountered in different organisations. While the literature on PM provides some advice about PMIIs, understanding how to fac...

• Alumina and LTL zeolite nanoparticles suited the in situ embedment method. • The nanoparticle embedded membranes had higher hydrophilicity and
