Abstract: An experimental investigation is described in which perforated reinforced concrete panel elements were subjected to uniformly distributed, monotonically increasing edge loads. Test parameters included the presence of a ...

Abstract: An alternative approach of analyzing laterally loaded piles in the ubiquitous spreadsheet platform is presented. The numerical procedure couples nonlinear pile flexural rigidity

Abstract: The heat transfer within a perfused tissue in the presence of a vessel is considered. The bio-heat transfer equation is used for the perfused tissue and a lumped capacitance analysis is used ...
