EXPERIMENTAL AND NONLINEAR FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS DATA FOR AN INNOVATIVE BUCKLING RESTRAINED BRACING SYSTEM TO REHABILITATE SEISMICALLY DEFICIENT STRUCTURES

This article presents experimental data and nonlinear finite element analysis (NLFEA) modeling for an innovative buckling restrained bracing (BRB) system.The data were collected from qualification testing of introduced BRBs per the AISC 341 test provision and finite element modeling.The BRB is made of three parts: core bar, restraining unit, and en

In field archaeology, the importance of non-diagnostic sherds Oral Care is often overlooked.This archaeological experiment suggests that archaeologists should take into greater consideration, contexts where sherds are found grouped together in close proximity.The authors tested a series of experimental drops of modern pots which were treated as sub

This paper presents the concept and an example of usage of Simulink blocks library with which dynamic simulation of complex systems with rotating shafts, Tinctures rigid rotors, bearings and couplings, general rotating power transmission systems of any configuration can be performed.The assumption is that library is modular and expandable.The main

Optimization of frame structures is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem, which is currently solved to local optimality.In this contribution, we investigate four optimization approaches: (i) general non-linear Night Light optimization, (ii) optimality criteria method, (iii) non-linear semidefinite programming, and (iv) polynomial optimiz

This essay explores issues surrounding psychiatric hospitalization through Kids Sneakers the intersection of creative writing and artmaking.The writing reflects on four artworks by the author created from appropriated hospital gowns that reflect on issues of representation and historical and contemporary experiences of hospitalization for mental di
