Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”

Transverse momentum-dependent heavy-quark fragmentation at next-to-leading order by von Kuk, Rebecca, Michel, Johannes K. L., Sun, Zhiquan

“…In this paper we calculate all TMD FFs involving heavy quarks and the associated TMD matrix element in heavy-quark effective theory (HQET) to next-to-leading order in the strong interaction. Our results confirm the renormalization properties, large-mass, and small-mass consistency relations predicted in our earlier work. …”

Lead-mediated highly diastereoselective allylation of aldehydes with cyclic allylic halides by Cheng, Bu-Qing, Zhao, Shi-Wen, Song, Xuan-Di, Chu, Xue-Qiang, Rao, Weidong, Loh, Teck-Peng, Shen, Zhi-Liang

“…Lead was found to efficiently mediate the allylation reactions of carbonyl compounds with cyclic allylic halides in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of lithium chloride and a catalytic amount of GaCl3 (20 mol %), leading to the desired homoallylic alcohols in modest to high yields with excellent diastereocontrol (>99:1 syn/anti) and good functional group tolerance. …”

Key structural features of microvascular networks leading to the formation of multiple equilibria by Atkinson, G, Ben-Ami, Y, Maini, P, Pitt-Francis, J, Byrne, H

“…We analyse mathematical models of blood flow in two simple vascular networks in order to identify structural features that lead to the formation of multiple equilibria. Our models are based on existing rules for blood rheology and haematocrit splitting. …”

Effects of high loading rate on reinforced concrete beams by Fujikake, Kazunori, Adhikary, Satadru Das, Li, Bing

“…The majority of past research on reinforced concrete (RC) beams has focused on their behavior under static and relatively slow loading rates, while limited attention has been paid to the corresponding behavior under high loading rates. …”

Sustainable structural design optimization - prestressed concrete beams by Ng, Kok Hang

“…The case study revealed that for an 18 m wide bridge, a 3-beam layout generates lesser overall EC than a 4-beam layout and a beam length (thus column spacing) of 20 to 26 m is likely to produce the lowest EC for the bridge system. …”

Shear strength of reinforced and prestressed concrete deep beams by Lu, Hai Yun.

“…The studies in this thesis mainly focus on the general behaviour, analysis and design in the shear strength of large reinforced and post-tensioned concrete deep beams. The influence of main steel ratio p, concrete strength fc', shear span-to-overall-height ratio a/h (or shear span-to-effective-depth ratio a/d), overall height h and prestress force on deep beams are investigated.…”
