The stress at the support structure of clarification tank is large, which will have a certain impact on whole structure. typical concentration phenomenon cause structural damage and serious harm to steel itself. In order study influence bearing plate seismic response tank, this paper analyzes dynamic by setting different thickness plates connection between column body tank. Based displacement, ...

Displacement control is critical to the design of retaining walls, especially in urban areas, avoid any potential damage adjacent structures during excavations. In this study, model tests are first conducted investigate stress and deformation mechanisms an embedded cantilevered (ECR) wall The development top displacement active passive earth pressures acting on ECR walls excavations studied. Up...

There is an unresolved debate in the scientific community about the shape of the quasistatic displacement pulse produced by nonlinear acoustic wave propagation in an elastic solid with quadratic nonlinearity. Early analytical and experimental studies suggested that the quasistatic pulse exhibits a right-triangular shape with the peak displacement of the leading edge being proportional to the le...

We describe a new geometry for electrostatic actuators to be used in sensitive laser interferometers, suited for prototype and table top experiments related to gravitational wave detection with mirrors of 100 g or less. The arrangement consists of two plates at the sides of the mirror (test mass), and therefore does not reduce its clear aperture as a conventional electrostatic drive (ESD) would...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implant tilting and the loading direction on the displacement and micromotion (relative displacement between the implant and bone) of immediately loaded implants by in vitro experiments and finite element analysis (FEA). METHODS Six artificial bone blocks were prepared. Six screw-type implants with a length of 10 mm and diame...

This case study1 critiques the conceptual architecture of a United Nations peacebuilding project called the Human Rights Committee (HRC) and suggests areas of further research and potential action to identify mismatches between local context and institution-building efforts that generate disempowering government structures. The committees were designed for implementation in Angola’s war-torn pr...

the research was conducted in order to determine the bending stress, young’s modulus, shearing stress, and shearing energy of safflower stalk as a function of moisture content and stalk region. the bending forces were measured at different moisture contents and the bending stress and the young’s modulus were calculated from these data. for measuring the shear forces, the stalk specimens were se...

Figure 1. Examples of reproductive interference. Reproductive interference can be caused by transfer of pollen between different plant species by bees (top left); a young male fur seal attempts to mate with a king penguin (top right); reproductive interference between species of damselfly can drive the evolution of reproductive character displacement (bottom right); mating calls made by males o...

Position sensing in MEMS is often based on the principle of varying capacitance [1]. Alternative position sensing principles include using integrated optical waveguides [2] or varying thermal conductance [3]. Lantz et al demonstrated a thermal displacement sensor achieving nanometre resolution on a 100μm range. However a multi-mask production process and manual assembly were needed to fabricate...
