Theoretical and experimental studies on loadbearing masonry walls have shown the significant influence of axial load level (i.e., precompression) wall aspect ratio in-plane lateral resistance. Nonetheless, impact precompression spatial variability material properties needs to be further investigated at scale with openings. This study presents a stochastic analysis unreinforced (URM) pier–spandr...

The well­known energy­efficient method of crushing in a single­roll machine with smooth rolls, which complex stress state is created the destroyed piece, has significant disadvantage – low productivity due to limited degree crushing. In order increase productivity, machines are equipped stop blocks on roll, ensure forced supply material zone. maximum possible number should be installed and cond...

Commercial finite element software generally includes dedicated numerical models for the nonlinear response of concrete under loading. These models usually include a smeared crack analogy to account for the relatively poor tensile strength of concrete, a plasticity algorithm to facilitate concrete crushing in compression regions and a method of specifying the amount, the distribution and the or...

abstract forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. this paper studies load consumption modeling in hamedan city province distribution network by applying esn neural network. weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...

As shown here on the basis of bitten teeth, the diet of the huge, lower to early upper Miocene Tomistoma lusitanica included some of the largest contemporaneous, terrestrial mammals, including adult or senile gomphotheres (Gomphotherium angustidens). One of the latter would be, in a rough estimate, about 50 years old at death. Bite impressions are discussed, including marks resulting from impac...

Several topology optimization problems are conducted within the ribs and spars of a wing box. It is desired to locate the best position of lightening holes, truss/cross-bracing, etc. A variety of aeroelastic metrics are isolated for each of these problems: elastic wing compliance under trim loads and taxi loads, stress distribution, and crushing loads. Aileron effectiveness under a constant rol...
