The flexural deformities are characterized by permanent hyperflexion of one or more joint areas, consequently, the bad shaping overload the structures that form the joints triggering arthritis or osteoarthritis. This aims ...

We investigate the Vema Channel in terms of spatial variations of the elastic thickness (Te) in the frame of the thin plate flexure model using the convolutive method. The modeling of the Moho in terms of the thin plate ...

We present LIFFE (Lithospheric Flexure with Finite Elements), a platform designed to perform lithospheric flexure. LIFFE is an easy-to-use, flexible and open-source code intended to model the flexure of a laterally ...

The level of existing research, as well as current code provisions and modeling approaches, are not adequate to characterize the behavior of squat reinforced concrete walls with shear - controlled responses. In this study, ...

The wooden constructions, as they are made of material from renewable sources, favor the environment contributing to the sustainability and reducing the impacts generated by the civil construction sector. Due to the low ...

Fiber models have been developed and applied to various structural elements such as shear walls, beams and columns. Only scarcely have fiber models been applied to circular foundation systems such as cast in drilled holes ...

Progress in polymer science has led to continuous reduction of polymerization shrinkage, exemplified by a new generation of ""low-shrink composites"". The common inference that shrinkage stress effects will be reduced in ...
