Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePrediction of Double Layer Grids' Maximum Deflection Using Neural NetworksReza Kamyab Moghadas, Kok Keong ChoongEfficient neural networks models are trained to predict the maximum deflection of two-way on two-way grids with variable geometrical parameters (span and height) as well as cross-sectional areas of the element groups. Backpropagation (BP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are employed for the mentioned purpose. The inputs of the neural networks are the length of the spans, L, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,488 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUncertainty Assessment for the Buckling Analysis of Glass Columns with Random ParametersMohammad Momeni, Chiara BedonLoad-bearing elements composed of glass, as known, are often susceptible to buckling collapse mechanisms. This intrinsic characteristic (and thus potential limitation for design) typically derives from the use of relatively small thicknesses to cover large spans and surfaces, thus resulting in a multitude of columns, beams, or plates that are characterized by high slenderness. In the literature, accordingly, several and … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2020 · 6,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluid-Structure Interaction Analysis of a Piezoelectric Cantilever for Energy HarvestingBader AlshuraiaanA numerical investigation was conducted to study the impact of varying the velocity magnitude and the elasticity of the cantilever on the performance of the piezoelectric beam such as tip deflection and voltage, tip electric field and maximum electric field. COMSOL software was used to solve for the governing equations taking into account fluid-structure interaction. The results of this investigation … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2020 · 6,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on the Failure Mechanism of Bovine Bone by Three-point Bending TestsHua Li, Rujie Gao, Ruiqi Li et al.Bone damage is a common type of sport injury. The loading rate affects the type of fracture and the degree of soft tissue injury. In view of the problem of whole bone bending damage and failure, this paper introduces the test method of bovine bone bending and the mechanism of bending failure under different loading rates is analyzed through experimental … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2020 · 6,535 accessesView PDFCite
