Testing the Flux Rope Paradigm for Coronal Mass Ejections Using a Three-spacecraft Encounter Event by Brian E. Wood, Phillip Hess

“…This provides support for the MFR paradigm for CME structure. However, the SolO measurements, which are farthest from the central axis of the MFR, show less defined MFR signatures, presumably due to a greater degree of erosion and degradation of the MFR structure far from its central axis.…”

Experimental and Numerical Simulation Study on the Mechanical Properties of Integrated Sleeve Mortise and Tenon Steel–Wood Composite Joints by Zhanguang Wang, Weihan Yang, Zhenyu Gao, Jianhua Shao, Dongmei Li

“…In view of the application status and technical challenges of steel–wood composite joints in architecture, this paper proposes an innovative connection technology to solve issues such as susceptibility to pry-out at beam–column joints and low load-bearing capacity and to provide various reinforcement methods in order to meet the different structural requirements and economic benefits. By designing and manufacturing four groups of beam–column joint specimens with different reinforcement methods, including no reinforcement, structural adhesive and angle steel reinforcement, 4 mm thick steel sleeve reinforcement, and 6 mm thick steel sleeve reinforcement, monotonic loading tests and finite element simulations were carried out, respectively. …”
