Multistable and morphing corrugated shell structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringChrist's College, 2009-06-09)
'Compliant' structures, i. e., structures that undergo large deformations as part of their
normal behaviour, can perform the function of a complex mechanism with just a single,
or very few, components. When multistability ...
Fibre-reinforced polymers in reinforced and prestressed concrete applications: moving forward
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Progress in Structural Engineering and Materials, 2001)
Recent developments in the use of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in reinforced and prestressed concrete applications are reviewed. The influence of FRP material properties on the design of concrete structures is considered ...
Analysis of concrete beams with partially bonded composite reinforcement
(American Concrete InstituteACI Structural Journal, 2000)
Beams prestressed with partially bonded fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) tendons have high strength and rotation capacity but cannot be modeled by conventional techniques. Herein, it is assumed that all deformation takes ...
R/BHC: fast Bayesian hierarchical clustering for microarray data
(BMC Bioinformatics 2009, 2009-08-06)
Abstract Background Although the use of clustering methods has rapidly become one of the standard computational approaches in the literature of microarray gene expression data analysis, little attention has been paid to ...
Technical Drawings of Cambridge Stratified Swirl Burner (SwB)
(University of Cambridge & Sandia National Laboratories, 2008)
On the performance of base-isolated buildings: a generic model
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2002-02-12)
Ground-borne vibration has existed ever since the development of urban road and rail networks. Vibration generated by the moving traffic propagates through the ground and into buildings, resulting in unacceptable levels ...
Signal separation of musical instruments: simulation-based methods for musical signal decomposition and transcription
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringPembroke College, 2001-05-29)
This thesis presents techniques for the modelling of musical signals, with particular regard to monophonic and polyphonic pitch estimation. Musical signals are modelled as a set of notes, each comprising of a set of ...
Collapse of masonry structures
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringKing's College, 2002-07-16)
TIlls dissertation examines the collapse of masonry structures in response to large
support displacements and horizontal ground accelerations. There are two main classes of masonry structure: arches that thrust, and ...
Modelling of an unbonded CFRP strap shear retrofitting system for RC beams
(American Society of Civil EngineersASCE Journal of Composites for Construction, 2009)
A retrofitting technique has been developed that uses carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps to increase the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams. The vertical straps are not bonded to the beam but are instead ...
Behaviour of GFRP adhesive pipe joints subjected to pressure and axial loadings
(ElsevierComposites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2006)
The corrosion resistance of glass-fibre reinforced polymers (GFRPs) is a key advantage in pipeline applications. Adhesive bonded joints are often used in tensile resistant GFRP pipe systems and the behaviour of small-diameter ...
