The term 'end connector' is generally not used in written English.
It is more of a technical term used to refer to cable ends that are plugged into machinery or networks. For example, the mechanic tested the connection between the computer and the printer by replacing the end connector.
After investigating the original rotational stiffness value, moment resistance, ductility and failure mode of the connection, an innovative design of SPR BCC is proposed with one additional bolt in the beam end connector and monotonic testing was performed.
Eight sets of connection specimens, with three specimens in each set, were selected based on the variation in column thickness, beam depth, and the number of tabs in the beam end connector.
The tabs act as an integral part of the beam end connector, since the tabs are formed and punched out of the beam end connector.
The cross section of beam and the end connector is given in Fig. 3.
The width and thickness of the end connector are 39.5 and 3.5 mm, respectively.
The beam end connector with tabs is engaged into the perforations of the upright.
Two different tunnel end connectors are used to compare the distributions of tunnel deflections, axial membrane forces at the tube segment connectors and tunnel end connectors.
A typical flexible jumper consists of two end connectors and a flexible pipe between the two connectors.
The experimental prediction of flexibility in SPR BCCs is prohibitively expensive and difficult for all types of commercially available beam end connectors.
The variety in the geometry of commercially available beam end connectors hampers the development of a generalized analytic design approach for SPR BCCs.
The indigenous fibers had an approximate outer diameter of 1.5 mm and the wall thickness of 0.25 mm and were housed in inexpensive PVC and UPVC tubes using epoxy resin and nylon end connectors.
