The influence of cross-section geometry and mechanical properties in the energy conversion factor is investigated.
A total of 270 elliptical sections were simulated in order to examine the influence of cross-section aspect ratio, geometric imperfections and local slendernesses.
Moment-rotation relationships were produced for each specimen to establish the influence of cross-section dimension and axis of bending on overall response.
On the basis of this, an experimental setup of the PHP with rectangular channels of 4 mm equivalent inner diameter was built, and the influence of cross-section shape on the start-up characteristics and heat transfer performance of the PHP was investigated.
The influences of cross-sections, geometric elements and bicycle traffic conditions on driver behavior were evaluated by a multivariate variance analysis.
In the absence of cross section data, assumed or parameterized cross section shapes are often used.
However, during scanning the pelvis may tilt, which can strongly influence classic anthropometric measurement of cross sections [ 34- 39].
The reason for using different sizes and numbers of holes was to investigate the influence of contact cross section and hole patterns of the strip on the pull-out strength.
As the basis, theoretical analysis and numerical verification of the bi-material pyramid and tetrahedron lattice cells explicitly reveal that with thick members, the influence of the cross section on the CTEs should be well considered, and the CTEs should be accurately calculated by the solid model.
Assumptions are made for the analysis as follows: (1) the soil is assumed to be a homogenous and elastic solid medium; (2) the underlying tunnel is assumed to be an Euler Bernoulli beam, and the deflection between the tunnel and surrounding soil is compatible; and (3) the tunnel is much longer comparing to the tunnel diameter, the influence of tunnel cross section is ignored.
The main purpose of this work was to evaluate the influence of different cross-sections, especially of compound cold-formed steel sections, the axial restraint to the thermal elongation of the beam and the rotational stiffness of the beam supports.
