In the case of load capacity, a good agreement was found between theoretical and experimental results.
Moreover, the proposed methodology gives rise to a new feature in the case of load application, what we refer to as Isogeometric Load Design.
This is especially true in the case of load-bearing structural glass elements where redundancy, stability and residual resistance should be guaranteed.
In the case of load-bearing implants such as orthopaedic, cardiovascular, or dental implants, a pre-clinical testing procedure is required to ensure that the implant is efficacious and safe.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to evaluate the individual load behavior; especially in the case of loads such as space heating, air conditioning and water heating, which sometimes are the first candidates to be used in DR, and especially for new products in new markets such as capacity and ancillary services, where interesting benefits could arise for the demand-side.
Figure 23 shows the comparison for four gauges in the case of perpendicular loading (Load Case IA): two located in a compression-loaded main member, and two in a tensile-loaded main member.
Although there is a fiber network rearrangement to accommodate with loading in the case of equibiaxial loading, there is no significant reorientation of the main fibers direction of the different layers.
The obtained results show that the dimensionless SIF values along the crack front are quite higher under tension loading than in the case of bending loading.
Then, in the case of cyclic loading, strains and displacements increase in each load cycle.
In the case of Pt loading, the cyclohexane/benzene formation ratio decreased as the loading of Pt metal nanoparticle increased.
