Abstract: Very recent experiments indicate that in free-standing metallic films of constant grain size the initial yield stress increases as the film becomes thinner, it peaks for a thickness on the ...

Abstract: We study experimentally the mechanical response of elastic polyether polyurethane (EPP) foams up to large strains over the range of commercially available densities and for a variety of loading ...

Abstract: Compressed open-cell solid foams frequently exhibit spatially inhomogeneous distributions of local stretch. The theoretical aspects of this deformation habit have not been clearly elucidated. Here ...

Abstract: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveys performed in critical environments (e.g., urban canyons, mountainous areas, or areas of dense vegetation) usually suffer from a lack of satellite coverage as a result of ...

Abstract: The fundamental understanding of the dynamic interactions between multiphase flow in the reservoir and that in the wellbore remains surprisingly weak. The classical way of dealing with these ...

Abstract: For many years, electric transmission line structures in the U.S. have been designed in accordance with the minimum load and strength requirements given in the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). Transmission line ...

Abstract: Stable internal fixation usually results in a unique histological healing pattern which involves direct cortical reconstruction and an absence of periosteal bridging callus. While it has been ...

Abstract: In the present paper, an analytical work for the description of the soil water balance and runoff production was adopted over a significant number of river basins belonging to a humid region of Southern Italy. The model ...
