Abstract: Natural gas direct injection (DI) and glow plug ignition assist technologies were implemented in a single-cylinder, compression-ignition optical research engine. Initial experiments studied the effects of injector and glow ...

Abstract: The historical background and the design and construction of the Northampton Street Bridge are documented. This structure is a well preserved example of an unusual steel cantilever bridge of the 1890s. It spans the Delaware ...

Abstract: A low-cost vibration-monitoring system was developed and installed on an urban steel-plated stress-ribbon footbridge. The system continuously measures the acceleration [using 18 triaxial microelectromechanical system (MEMS) ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have enabled the construction of lightweight footbridges, whose structural design is often governed by a serviceability limit state. A suitable approach to avoid overdimensioning an FRP ...

Abstract: Abstract. The uterine cervix is a soft biological tissue with critical biomechanical functions in pregnancy. It is a mechanical barrier that supports the growing fetus. As pregnancy progresses, the cervix becomes more ...
