in this research, using the modified compression field theory (mcft), a new truss based model is proposed to predict the behavior of reinforced concrete coupling beams with diagonal reinforcement. the model is able to consider the effects of shear and axial forces and bending moment, simultaneously. the proposed model includes a nonlinear shear spring, an axial spring, two inclined truss member...

in this research, the possibility of using high percentage of lignocellulosic fibers in making natural fiber-thermoplastic composite was studied. three weight percentages of bagasse flour namely 40, 55 and 70 percents were chosen. mapp was used as coupling agent at two weight percentages of pp, namely 0, 4 and 6 percents. tensile strength was measured applying instron 6025. the results showed t...

a complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. the only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, although it is assumed that ...

this study introduces the differential transform method (dtm) to analyse the free vibration response of a rotating, closed section, composite, timoshenko beam which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. the governing differential equations of motion are derived using hamilton’s principle and solved by applying dtm. the natural frequ...

The goal of this paper is to explore the effects of changes in velar coupling area and oral cavity configuration on the poles and zeros introduced in the nasalized vowel and nasal consonant spectra due to the sphenoidal and maxillary sinuses. MRI data for the vocal tract and nasal tract of one speaker was used to simulate the spectra of the nasalized vowels , and nasal consonants with different...

the synthesis, spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of five new dinuclear copper(ii) complexes are described. all five compounds have the general formula [cu2(l)4(o-r)2](cl)2 or [cu2(l)2(cl)2](cl)2, in which r = ch3 or h, l=2, 3 or 4-pyridinemethanol as l2, l3 or l4, respectively. the title compounds consist of dinuclear units with bridging methoxo groups in [cu2(l4)4(o-ch3)2](cl)2, hydro...
