Abstract: An approximate applicable method is presented for the computation of the critical buckling load of a moderately large complicated assembly in terms of traces of successive powers of the stability ...

Abstract: In this paper, the influence of rigid body motion on the behavior of a vibrating elastic system is treated by the development of a difference eigenvalue problem. The maximum possible changes ...

Abstract: Waste optimization models are vital to reduce the trim loss in the cutting process of steel reinforcement. Unfortunately, waste minimization is frequently considered as a pure mathematical problem, which is solved apart ...

Abstract: Preclinical testing of orthopaedic implants is becoming increasingly important to eliminate inferior designs before animal experiments or clinical trials are begun. Preclinical tests can include ...

Abstract: Increased stormwater runoff due to urbanization has highlighted the need for faster water removal. Porous concrete has high void content and porosity; however, it has poor mechanical properties. Its performance can be ...
