In this paper, a mechanical model is proposed to estimate the static response (stiffness, residual capacity, deformed configuration, strain/strain distribution within cross-section, and deformation capacity) of a rope ...

Numerous analog models and some natural examples display smoothly curving backlimb fold hinges over sharp, angular bends in the underlying thrust surface. We present a new kinematic model that can reproduce this geometry ...

First-principles calculations set the comprehension over performance of novel cathodoluminescence (CL) properties of BaZrO3 prepared through microwave-assisted hydrothermal. Ground (singlet, s*) and excited (singlet s** ...

In this study, the effect of the presence of broken wires (damage) asymmetrically distributed on metallic strands surfaces on their static response is assessed. To this end, a general mechanical model for multilayered ...

In this paper, a numerical model to evaluate the impact of the presence of fractured rope components on the static response of ropes is presented. Specifically, the proposed model couples the effects of two phenomena that ...
