Reinforced concrete shear walls are effective for resisting lateral loads imposed by wind or earthquakes. This study investigates the effectiveness of a wall fiber element in predicting the flexural nonlinear response of reinforced concrete shear walls. Model results are compared with experimental results for reinforced concrete shear walls with barbell-shaped cross sections without axial load. The analytical model is calibrated and the test measurements are processed to allow for a direct comparison of the predicted and measured flexural responses. Response results are compared at top displacements on the walls. Results obtained in the analytical model for barbell-shaped cross section wall compared favorably with experimentally responses for flexural capacity, stiffness, and deformability.

This paper derives an analytical model of a straight beam with a T-shaped cross section for use in the high-frequency range, defined here as approximately 1 to 35 kHz. The web, the right part of the flange, and the left part of the flange of the T-beam are modeled independently with two-dimensional elasticity equations for the in-plane motion and Mindlin flexural plate equation for the out-of-plane motion. The differential equations are solved with unknown wave propagation coefficients multiplied by circular spatial domain functions. These algebraic equations are then solved to yield the wave propagation coefficients and thus produce a solution to the displacement field in all three directions. An example problem is formulated and compared with solutions from fully elastic finite element modeling, a previously derived analytical model, and Timoshenko beam theory. It is shown that the accurate frequency range of this new model is significantly higher than that of the analytical model and the Timoshenko beam model, and, in the frequency range up to 35 kHz, the results compare very favorably to those from finite element analysis.

Abstract A modified vertical braiding machine and closed annular axis mandrels with a special-shaped cross section were used to braid annular axis preforms under four different technical parameters. After measuring the braiding angles and yarn spacing of the braided preform in different areas of the mandrels, it was found that the braiding angle increased by 20.9% and the yarn spacing decreased by 19.8% when the speed of the yarn carrier was doubled. The braiding angle decreased by 31.1% and the yarn spacing increased by 28.6% when the rotation speed of the mandrels was doubled. The results show that the rotation speed of the mandrel has a slightly greater influence on the braiding angle and the yarn spacing. By using the modified braiding machine to braid the annular axis preforms, multi-layer continuous braided preforms can be achieved on compact equipment. And the structure of the annular axis braided preforms can be changed by changing the technical parameters.

An edge slotted waveguide antenna array based on T-shaped cross-section radiating waveguide is proposed. The T-shaped waveguide is analyzed and designed to operate in dominant mode around the center frequency, which has a lower profile compared with the rectangular one. The radiating slots are etched and rotated alternatively on the broadened top plate without cutting into the adjacent walls. The metal fences are inserted between slots to reduce the mutual coupling and surface wave. Therefore, the sidelobe level in E-plane is well suppressed. A 2 × 8 antenna array working at Ka-band is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree well with simulations which demonstrate this novel waveguide structure.

Context.The spectrum of the hydrogen atom was explained by Bohr more than one century ago. We revisit here some of the aspects of the underlying quantum structure, with a modern formalism, focusing on the limit of the Balmer series.Aims.We investigate the behaviour of the absorption coefficient of the isolated hydrogen atom in the neighbourhood of the Balmer limit.Methods.We analytically computed the total cross-section arising from bound-bound and bound-free transitions in the isolated hydrogen atom at the Balmer limit, and established a simplified semi-analytical model for the surroundings of that limit. We worked within the framework of the formalism of Landi Degl’Innocenti & Landolfi (2004, Astrophys. Space Sci. Lib., 307), which permits an almost straight-forward generalization of our results to other atoms and molecules, and which is perfectly suitable for including polarization phenomena in the problem.Results.We analytically show that there is no discontinuity at the Balmer limit, even though the concept of a “Balmer jump” is still meaningful. Furthermore, we give a possible definition of the location of the Balmer jump, and we check that this location is dependent on the broadening mechanisms. At the Balmer limit, we compute the cross-section in a fully analytical way.Conclusions.The Balmer jump is produced by a rapid drop of the total Balmer cross-section, yet this variation is smooth and continuous when both bound-bound and bound-free processes are taken into account, and its shape and location is dependent on the broadening mechanisms.

This paper addresses the response and stability of elastic-plastic steel tubes with square cross section under pure bending. An analytical model with sufficiently nonlinear kinematics to capture the development of ripples in the compression flange was developed. the results indicate that collapse of such tubes is imperfection sensitive for tubes with “high” height-to-thickness ratio (h/t), but the sensitivity decreases as h/t decreases. Experimentally, the tubes collapse due to a limit moment instability which is followed by the formation of a kink on the compression flange of the tubes. The limit moment and the development of the kink are captured well by the analytical model.
