Abstract: The method presented studies the real behavior of a buried pipes system and its interaction with the surrounding soil. A mechanical system is used to apply a nondestructive loading from the inside of the structure, allowing ...

Abstract: The residual effect of thermally and mechanically loaded polyurea samples was investigated in this study using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Samples of different thicknesses were submerged in liquid nitrogen ...

Abstract: Emerging polymeric foams exhibiting unique microstructure of microspherical shells with reinforcing dense microspheres creates a new opportunity for impact-tolerant foam paddings in sport gears applications. This paper ...

Abstract: In this research, an experimental biomechanics construct was developed to reveal the mechanics of distal tibial fracture by submitting synthetic tibiae to cyclic loading, resulting in a combined stress state due to axial ...

Abstract: Abstract. This work investigates how the size and spatial distribution of cells influence the apparent Poisson's ratio of ordered and unordered (stochastic) flexible cellular structures at constant relative densities. A ...
