12 Dec 2003: Analyses of the deployment moment, buckling moment and. stiffness are made and then compared to experimental tests. ... measured from experimental tests. A review of damping methods used in deployable structures and their applicability to structures with

10 Aug 2004: Gravity Compensation of Deployable Space Structures. Annette Fischer. Abstract:. Gravity compensation suspension systems are essential to support space structures during tests on Earth, but also impose constraints on the structures that ... A

3 Nov 2010: These tests have included a series of half-scale beam-and-slab bridge tests funded by EPSRC and the Highways Agency and 20 scale models of concrete bridges.

25 Nov 1998: line through the large quantity of test data in the literature has also a slope of approximately 1.5. ... The most obvious explanation of the difference is that the open-topped shells in the present study are Ôstatically determinateÕ, whereas the usual

27 Jan 2009: The sand used in all these tests was dry. Leighton Buzzard sand 52/100 (nominal grain size 0.225mm) was used for one of these test. ... tables 6,8 and 10a,b, for tests AM-1,AM-2 and test AM-3 respectively.

13 Nov 2003: In order to illustrate the accuracy of the present model, a series of compression tests on concrete specimens with either single spiral or interlocking spirals were carried out, and good consistency

10 Nov 2003: behaviour. Quasi-static and dynamic tests show significant non-linear coupling between piezoelectricity and the applied stress.

10 Nov 2003: Expansive cement anchorage system was used to grip the tendons. Using this anchorage system, a tensile test was carried out to determine the efficiency of the system and thus set a

10 Nov 2003: The theoretical predictions are validated against the results of laboratory tests on reinforced concrete slab models, with limited lateral restraint stiffnesses, subjected to uniform or simulated uniform transverse loading.

17 Nov 1998: shells. The work begins with the simpler case of the cylindrical shell and encompasses tests on a range of simplified models that have been proposed in the literature, but which have

10 Nov 2003: Predictions of the tensile strengths of parallel-lay ropes were obtained by putting this yarn data into the model and the results compared with rope tests.

13 Jul 2005: To ensure the most efficient use of limited economic resources, it is important that such actions are only undertaken on those bridges which actually need intervention.

10 Nov 2003: Using the Kevlar 49-on-aluminium abrasion tests performed here, a general formula has been devised for lifetime, in terms of contact pressure, amplitude of slip and thickness to be abraded.

16 Mar 2005: Where available, model test solutions have also been used as benchmark.
