Abstract: This paper presents the effects of elastic supports on the buckling of circular cylindrical shells under bending. Stability was investigated using Donnell’s equation and the Galerkin method, ...

Abstract: On designing optical fiber cables, it is necessary to deal with the weakness of optical fibers, such as a small breaking elongation compared with metals and excess optical loss under both ...

Abstract: Submarine cable kinking is a continuing design problem. Cable kink occurs when a cable loop forms due to torsion and tension action, and then tightens under subsequent tension increase. This ...

Abstract: A quick-setting resin mortar has been developed to accomplish a new small diameter shield tunneling method. A nondestructive testing method employing ultrasonic pulses is used for estimating the ...
