An experimental method to measure forces of small magnitude with a strain gauge as a force sensor in the fluid–wall interaction of open water channels is presented. Six uniaxial strain gauges were employed for this purpose, ...

The adequate characterization of the small-strain stiffness soil behavior plays an important role in the prediction of displacements of retaining walls and footings subjected to monotonic and/or cyclic loading. This document ...

This work presents a new formulation of the geometrically exact thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation assumes that the beam can undergo arbitrary kinematical changes while the strains remain small, thus ...

Small cycloalkynes possess a π-strain-induced electrophilicity related to the bending of the Csp3-Csp-Csp bond angle. For cyclopentyne and benzyne, the electrophilicity index defined in the context of density functional ...

This work presents the derivation of a small strain tensor compatible with the geometrically exact kinematics of the thin walled composite beam theory. The formulation is based on the expression of the Green strain tensor ...

In this paper we study the response of bodies that are residually stressed within the context of a new class of constitutive relations, wherein the strains are assumed to be functions of the stresses. Such bodies are said ...

In this paper we generalize the recent implicit models that have been put into place to describe the elastic response of bodies when thermal effects come into play. The implicit constitutive relations for thermoelastic ...

This work presents the design and development of a remote monitoring system for the blades' strain in a small wind turbine (SWT). The monitoring system allows real-time transmission of the stress to a remote client which ...
