The results are presented and discussed with a focus on the shear connectors' structural responses in terms of their shear transfer capacity, ductility, stress distribution and collapse modes.
In the first part of the study the load-deflection behaviour, stress distribution and collapse modes under static loads are examined and in the second part the hysteretic characteristics, energy dissipation capacities and degradation properties under cyclic loads are evaluated.
Before examining associations between variables, we considered response distributions and collapsed some categories for use as dependent variables in logistic regression analyses.
And yet we have not faced a moment in which the fundamental drivers of conflict among the most powerful states have been present -- competition over key resources, intensifying political tension within states over wealth distribution, and general collapse of a prevailing "normal" order... since before the dawn of the nuclear age.
Once osteochondral defect occurred in the joint, the abnormal stress distribution and the collapse of articular surface will be inevitable, and a vicious circle will result in more and more damage to the normal articular cartilage [ 3, 4].
His most recent and potentially most important contributions to the popular scientific literature are the books "Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies," which explores the development and distribution of civilization, and "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed," which addresses the dynamics of maintaining a society over the long term.
The prototype structures with larger seismic base shear carried by HEDDs result in small variation in collapse capacity distribution and satisfy the minimum collapse margin ratio regardless of uncertainties on design requirements.
We hypothesized that unlike global FRC, component sector gas volumes and their corresponding regional tidal expansions would vary markedly, owing to shifting distributions of aeration and collapse as posture varied.
We hypothesized that unlike global functional residual capacity (FRC), component sector gas volumes and their corresponding regional tidal expansions would vary markedly in the setting of unilateral pleural effusion (PLEF), owing to shifting distributions of aeration and collapse as posture changed.
Furthermore, specific characteristics of CL in mitochondria its asymmetric transmembrane distribution and mechanisms of collapse, the regulation of its synthesis, remodeling, and fatty acid composition are given significant consideration.
