An Inelastic Theoretical Model regarding the Load-Carrying Capacity of PSL Bending Component by Baolu Sheng, Yuling Bian, Dong He, Aiping Zhou

“…The results show that the tensile stress-strain relationship of PSL materials in the grain direction remains linear until breaking, while the compressive stress-strain relationship exhibits nonlinear characteristics once the compressive stress exceeds the proportional limit, which can be expressed by a quadratic polynomial. The failure mode of the PSL beam can be summarized that the fibres in the top of the broken section were buckling and those in the bottom of the section were broken when failure occurred. …”

The role of circular shield in improving the thermal efficiency of domestic gas stove by Mingze Su, Yu Lin, Deqi Meng, Naiping Gao, Tong Zhu, Jiawei Chen, Dingrui Zhang, Zhonghua Li, Xiaowen Liu

“…By means of the thermodynamic analysis, the main role of circular shield in improving the thermal efficiency of domestic gas stove was finally elucidated. The role can be expressed as: the circular shield establishes a radiation heat transfer pathway from the circular shield to the bottom wall of the pot, and through this pathway, the circular shield transfers heat absorbed from the flue gas to the bottom wall of the pot. …”

Explicit Form of Exact Analytical Solution for Calculating Ground Displacement and Stress Induced by Shallow Tunneling and Its Application by Caixia Guo, Kaihang Han, Heng Kong, Leilei Shi

“…However, the exact analytical solutions are not directly expressed as explicit functions of the coordinates (x, y) in the physical plane (called implicit form of exact analytical solutions), whereas the displacements and stresses induced by existing structure loads are explicit functions of the coordinates (x, y) in the physical plane, which makes it difficult to superpose the displacements and stresses induced by existing structure loads. …”
