Laminated profiles were manufactured from Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris) and red pine (Pinus brutia) with different density levels and two cross section configurations using urea formaldehyde and polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) resins.
Based on the statistical analyses it was also determined that cross-section configuration, and laminate thickness influenced overall bending strength of the specimens.
It was found that Scotch pine with tangential radial tangential cross-section configuration using different layer thickness had the highest bending strength with an average of 99.22 N/mm2.
The objective of this study is to investigate influence of species, density of wood, resin type, cross-section configuration, and member thickness on strength properties of window profiles manufactured from laminated lumber.
Curved actuators are capable of larger maximum bending angles with the same cross-section configuration as a straight actuator, and both the design method and the casting method proposed in this work are novel for this type of actuator.
The two main findings are: while specimen cross-section configuration and fabrication method (specimen type) played a key role in controlling the fatigue longevity of the same cement, the stress amplitude was seen as the dominant controlling variable to affect the fatigue behaviour of different cements when using the same specimen type.
Functionally graded mono-layer and sandwich cross-section configurations are investigated.
Three cross-section configurations, rectangular, V-shape and rounded C-shape, were considered, and different lamina stacking sequences, (0/90)6, [±45/(0/90)2]s, and [±45/(0/90)]3 were compared.
2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and Lagrangian particle tracking are performed to analyze the wind-flow pattern and rainfall distribution for seven generic stadium cross-section configurations and to assess the performance of each roof type.
This paper reports the results of a driving simulator study, which sought to analyze the effects that three cross-section configurations of a two-lane rural road and four geometric elements of the road have on driver behavior, during the interaction with a cyclist.
