In this paper, semi-analytical method for asymmetrical eccentrically stiffened FGM cylindrical shells under external pressure and surrounded by a linear and non-linear elastic foundation is presented. The proposed linear model is based on two parameter elastic foundation Winkler and Pasternak. According to the von Karman nonlinear equations and the classical plate theory of shells, strain-displ...

To understand the mechanical behavior of fast-starting fish, we modeled the pumpkinseed sunfish, Lepomis gibbosus, as a longitudinally-loaded beam that behaves as an elastic column eccentrically-loaded by lateral musculature. Since bending moments are a function of the shape of the body, we used real sunfish to determine, (1) from cross-sections, the effective moment arm of the lateral musculat...

Rehabilitation services are less-studied aspects of the management following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) despite long-term suboptimal physical functioning and chronic deficits in muscle function. This paper describes the preliminary findings of a six-week (12 session) eccentrically-biased rehabilitation program targeted at deficits in physical function and muscle function, initiated one month...

Abstract The behavior of eccentrically loaded RC columns strengthened by NSM steel and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars is investigated in this study. A total six column specimens have been cast study with dimensions (150×150×1200) mm (width × height length). Two are unstrengthened considered as controls, while the other method using bars hybrid GFRP rebars. All tested under concent...
