Hi There,

I am going to measure the mechanical properties of nanoparticle in Nano composite using nanoindenter. I searched through the literature and I did not find any work that measure this individually and all of them measured properties of nanocomposite not the inclusion itself. ThanksAzadeh

Can a single-degree-of-freedom elastic structure have two buckling loads?

We provide a positive answer to this question, see http://www.ing.unitn.it/~bigoni/multiple_bifurcations.html

Experimental Results: RC beams under blast load

Submitted by Flavio Stochino on Wed, 03/21/2012 - 16:47

research

Good morning,

I'm looking for some field results concerning blast load on RC beams. In particular I'm interested in the time history of pressure and deflection. Does anybody know any publication dealing with this topic?

Thanks for your kind attention.
