Weld size and resistance in rectangular hollow section T-joints

When chord face failure occurs, one of the factors, which influence the resistance of the square hollow sections joint is the brace-to-chord width ratio of the joint.This includes the size of the weld connecting the two members.The influence of Wraps weld type and weld size on the behaviour of rectangular and square hollow section joints was studie

An Innovative Procedure for the Rolling Noise Evaluation

Noise is often generated by pressure changes in the air induced by mechanical vibrations.The study of these phenomena is known as structural acoustics or, in a more fashionable way, virboacoustics.Vibroacoustics is the study of the mechanical waves in structures and how they interact with, and radiate into, adjacent media.In railway the most import

KSEMAW: an open source software for the analysis ofspectrophotometric, ellipsometric andphotothermal deflection spectroscopy measurements [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

The optical behavior of devices based on Space Art thin films is determined by complex refractive index and thickness of each slab composing the stack; these important parameters are usually evaluated from photometric and/or ellipsometric spectral measurements, given a model of the stack, by means of dedicated software.In the case of complex multil
