Abstract: The results of five tests on narrow stiffened panels under axial compression until collapse and beyond are presented to investigate the collapse behaviors of stiffened panels. Tension tests were used to evaluate the material ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to determine an appropriate configuration of the boundary conditions and geometric model to calculate the ultimate strength of a continuous stiffened panel under compressive loading in the finite ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of rock mass is strongly influenced by internal joints. To investigate the effect of hidden joints on the strength and deformation behavior of rock mass, a series of triaxial compression tests was ...

Abstract: The central theme of this study is to explore if and how the intensity of a tropical cyclone (TC) is related to its size. This subject has puzzled atmospheric scientists since the work of Deppermann, but the existence of ...
