The single-column zwicki-Line testing machine was specially designed for mechanical testing applications involving low test-loads and incorporates a space-saving design making it suitable for a ...

Abstract: For humanoid whole body contact motions, it is important to recognize the existence of whole body contacts and the contact forces. The challenges in recognizing the existence of whole body ...

The importance of considering dynamic effects and nonlinear behavior when studying truss structures has been well established in the past decades. The consideration of dynamic effects is of great ...

This study suggests relevant finite element (FE) formulations for the structural analysis of offshore blast walls subjected to blast loadings due to hydrocarbon explosions. The present blast wall ...
