This study investigated the feasibility of using CFRP cable as tension cables in suspen domes view fact that have been made with steel its cable-strut system for centuries due to availability. Indisputably, become material choice 21st century efficiency and innovative design bridge works. However, application other structures has limited. The need is required order acquire more knowledge about ...

This article proposes an progressive-collapse mechanism for suspended-dome structures subjected to cable rupture, based on experimental and finite element results. The anti-collapse can be succinctly described as a node-buckling mechanism: the potential node buckling in local arch-like spatial grid centered unsupported directly determines whether progressive collapse will occur overall structur...

AstractNASA’s Advanced Component Technology (ACT) Program is funding the development and testing of the Deployable Optics Modeling Experiment (DOME) at the University of Colorado for developing and advancing to flight readiness high-precision deployable optics technology to enable space-based lidar measurements. In this project; precision deployment, microdynamic stabilization, and modeling tec...

Global Optimization with First-principles Energy Expressions (GOFEE) is an efficient method for identifying low energy structures in computationally expensive landscapes such as the ones described by density functional theory (DFT), van der Waals-enabled DFT, or even methods beyond DFT. GOFEE relies on a machine learned surrogate model of energies and forces, trained on-the-fly, to explore conf...

OBJECTIVE To analyze magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of Müllerian remnants in young females clinically suspected of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in a primary amenorrhea workup. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen young females underwent multiplanar T2- and transverse T1-weighted MRI at either a 1.5T or 3.0T MR imager. Two gynecologic radiologists reached consensus decisi...

Dome is an object based parallel programming environment for heterogeneous distributed networks of machines. This paper gives a brief overview of Dome. We show that Dome programs are easy to write. A description of the load balancing performed in Dome is presented along with performance measurements on a cluster of DEC Alpha workstations connected by a DEC Gigaswitch. A Dome program is compared...
