Analysis and design of curved steel beam member in elevation using Eurocode 3 by Yandarmadi, Kelvin

“…In the second part of the study, the design of a curved beam in elevation based on Eurocode 3 is presented on a design case for five different cross-sections.The cross-section section modulus becomes the governing factor across the beam span except for the end span near the support. It is found that that the rank based on minimum required steel is Universal Beam (UB), Universal Column (UC), Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS), Square Hollow Section (SHS), Circular Hollow Section (CHS). …”

Optical and optoelectronic properties of Si nanocrystals embedded in dielectric matrix by Ding, Liang

“…Based on the knowledge of band structure of nc-Si obtained in this work, the size-dependent PL band could be attributed to the indirect band-to-band transition of the nc-Si assisted by the Si-O vibration at the interface of nc-Si/SiO2. Visible and near infrared (IR) electroluminescence (EL) has been observed from a metal–oxide–semiconductor-like (MOS-like) structure with nc-Si embedded in the gate oxide. …”
