Demonstrating the importance of suture technique, a bovine model showed that the triple-strand technique provided greater mean peak load to failure, and greater resistance to gapping when compared with Dresden, Krackow, and modified oblique Dresden techniques (Fig. 3).
Especially in the practical range of axial load (generally in actual design, ( P ge 0.1A_{g} f^{prime}_{c,u} ) according to the definition of compression members and ( e_{0}/b ge 0.1 ) to account for accidental eccentricity (American Concrete Institute 2014)), the residual strength was obviously greater than the 1st peak load.
The integration of controllable load or demand response has great effect on the peak load shifting, and it obviously has much more positive effect on the ADS planning, such as investment deferral, increase of renewable energy in the system [26], etc.
The dorsal wing-pin group with a synthetic tension band showed a statistically significant greater stiffness (P =.0054) and peak load at failure (P =.0004) compared with the dorsal wing-pin group without the tension band.
It was found that the residual strengths of all specimens were still greater than 42% of peak load at the axial displacement of 30 mm (see Table 3).
The genetic algorithm is implemented using genalg, a package for the statistical software R. The effect on electricity load of the type of MPANs a substation supplies have been quantified, allowing predictions on the overall load, the annual trend, and peak behaviour - with greatest success in predicting mean peak load and position, and overall mean and standard deviation.
Distributed generators were connected to busses 611, 645, 646, 675, 680 and 684, with total maximum output potential greater than the network's total peak load.
That is, the 2nd peak load can be even greater than the 1st peak load depending on the steel contribution and confinement efficiency.
For pull out using concrete block, the increment of peak load between large and small rib spacing is not significant, but the bolt with large rib spacing has great absorption of deformational energy than small rib spacing bolt.
Injured participants did, however, have significantly greater peak vGRFs (p = 0.01) and weighted cumulative loading per run (p < 0.01).
