Compressive BLAT. To implement a compressive version of the faster BLAT algorithm, we substituted BLAT for BLAST in the coarse search step and used BLAT's local alignment algorithm for the fine ...

A recent study investigates the combination of steel fibers and graphene oxide in improving concrete strength, potentially ...

HBK introduces IO-Link force measurement technology in its U2B and C2 transducers, enabling real-time diagnostics, ea ...

Iron tailings sand improves concrete properties under cyclic loading, with optimal performance at 30%-40% replacement, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

The study highlights machine learning's role in predicting concrete strength with industrial waste, promoting low-carbon solutions in the construction industry.

Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, Vol. 370, No. 1965, Geometry and mechanics of layered structures and materials (28 April 2012), pp. 1871-1895 (25 pages) ...

Negative Poisson’s ratio If the Poisson’s ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce tensile/compressive strains in the y- and z-directions, just ...

An adhesive can be stronger or weaker than the material it is bonding. As the density of the foam increases, it appears that the relative compressive strength starts to exceed the knit line’s strength ...
