Flexural and Thermal Properties of Novel Energy Conservation Slotted Reinforced Concrete Beams by Gao Ma, Liang Huang, Libo Yan, Hui Wang, Peng Yin

“…However, the damage process of the slotted beams was different from that of the solid beams at the final loading stage. The moment curvature analysis indicated that the tensile reinforcement ratio of the outer and inner beams had an important effect on the flexural behavior, especially the ductility of the slotted beams. …”

Proverbial Expressions in Contextual Definition of Káà and its Postproverbial Imagination by Michael Olaniyi Ajadi

“… Káà is an architectural term widely used by the Yoruba to describe designative points in a radius of curvature for a building complex agbo-ilé. The general idea of this time-honored complex has based on combining apartments into a congruous unit to give central area/courtyard aya-ilé, strewn with sand for open-air entertainments, contests, spectacles and judicatory. …”

A Study on the Effect of the Contact Point and the Contact Force of a Glass Fiber under End-Face Polishing Process by Ying-Chien Tsai, Guang-Miao Huang, Shin-Wei Cheng, Cheng-An Hsu, Innchyn Her

“…This study proposes an image assistant method to find the initial contact point and a mathematical model to estimate the contact force when fabricating the double-variable-curvature end-face of single mode glass fiber. The repeatability of finding the initial contact point via the vision assistant program is 0.3 μm. …”

Natural tristability of a confined helical filament with anisotropic bending rigidities by Zicong Zhou

“…Abstract We find that when $$c_0 R\sim 0.5$$ c 0 R ∼ 0.5 and $$\tau _0R<0.11<c_0R$$ τ 0 R < 0.11 < c 0 R , confining a helical filament with anisotropic bending rigidities within a cylindrical tube of radius R can create a natural tristable status which is consisted of two low-pitch helices and one high-pitch helix, where a helical filament is referred to as a filament that has both an intrinsic curvature ( $$c_0$$ c 0 ) and an intrinsic twist rate ( $$\tau _0$$ τ 0 ). …”
