Abstract: With advances in materials science, the performance of concrete materials has continued to improve, especially its compression strength. However, increases in compression strength often result in ductility decreases and ...

Abstract: As the manned exploration of space continues, many complex structural components are being developed to construct the orbital platforms that will be used to house communication hardware, personnel, and manufacturing ...

Abstract: Distributed parameter modeling may offer a viable alternative to the finite‐element approach for modeling large flexible space structures. In addition, the introduction of the transfer matrix method to the continuum modeling ...
