Soft and conductive nanomaterials like carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanowire scaffolds have expanded the family of ultraflexible microelectrodes that can bend flex with natural movement brain, reduce inflammatory response, improve stability long-term neural recordings. However, current methods to implant these highly flexible electrodes rely on temporary stiffening agents temporarily increase electrode size stiffness thus aggravating damage during implantation, which lead cell loss glial...
The flexural performance of laminated glass, a composite two or more glass plies bonded together by polymeric interlayers, depends upon shear coupling between the components through polymer.This effect is usually taken into account, in design practice, definition effective thickness, i.e., thickness monolith with equivalent bending properties terms stress and deflection.The traditional formulas à la Bennison-Wölfel are accurate only when deformed shape plate cylindrical response similar to...
Abstract Since the beginning of 2021, CEN/TS 19100 Design Glass Structures has been available in its first three parts. The fourth part is expected soon. This Technical Specification European standards organisation CEN as a pre-standard corresponding future Eurocode. These documents constitute ever comprehensive design code for entire structural glass engineering field on market time. In addition to clear outline, drafted be compatible with EN 1990 “Basis Design” and address glass-specific...
Because the strength of glass is governed by randomly distributed surface flaws that can propagate catastrophically when applied stress reaches a critical value, weakest-link-in-the-chain rationale universally accepted interpretation its significant variability. The two-parameter Weibull extreme value distribution currently most commonly used model for structural design, although it recognized fails to capture experimental data within region small failure probabilities, associated with...
A viscoelastic description via fractional calculus is used to theoretically determine the time-varying stress state in single-curvature cold-bent laminated glass. This approach proven effective when relaxation function of polymeric interlayer can be approximated by branches power laws, as most commercial materials. Solutions are obtained numerically approximating time derivatives with L1 formula. conveniently allows use a variable step for phenomenon characterized two time-scales,...
The observation of old construction works confirms that masonry domes can withstand tensile hoop stresses, at least up to a certain level. Here, such resistance, rather than priori assumed as property the bulk material, is attributed contact forces are developed interfaces between interlocked blocks under normal pressure, specified by Coulomb's friction law. According this rationale, aspect ratio blocks, well bond pattern, becomes fundamental importance. To investigate complex assembly...
