Since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are superior to traditional steel reinforcements, they are widely used in advanced concrete technology. By using a combination of fibres and FRP ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the less-studied problem of failing/yielding an object purposefully by a robotic hand. A grasp synthesis capable of using the whole limb surface of the robotic hand ...

In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN-10) model was developed to predict the ultimate shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams without web reinforcement. ANN-10 is a ...

Let's break down the process of drawing shear and moment diagrams for a beam, focusing on the specific example designated as 7-59. This involves understanding the forces and moments acting on the beam ...

Dilatants are a class of non-Newtonian fluids characterized by their ability to transition from a fluid state to a near-solid state under shear stress due to a high concentration of solid particles ...

Abstract: Existing methods for predicting the shear stresses led to calculation results of great differences. In this paper, the shear stress was primarily evaluated by incorporating typical bond-slip ...

Most engineers who deal with bolted joints are familiar with torque tables for SAE-grade bolts, but these are all too often used without regard for the yield strength of internal threads or the bolt’s ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...
