This happily lightweight aspect of Balanchine makes it at times tempting to rate him as merely a master confectioner or an occasionally vulgar Fabergé.
Due to the lightweight aspect of the modular structure, the serviceability limit states will gain in importance: stiffness and crack formation become important factors, as does the influence of repeated loading.
The improvement of lightweight construction aspects of present and future products must be supported by forming processes and taken into account even during the process developments.
The presented prototypes and industrial products show that besides the lightweight construction aspect furthermore the specific mass related stiffness characteristics and the advantageous damping properties as well as the thermal behavior of composite structures provide outstanding chances regarding the improvement of the machine performance and accuracy.
As a central aspect different quantitative consequences of energy consumption aspects regarding lightweight design are discussed in detail, considering direct and indirect effects of mass reduction on the energy efficiency.
Analyses of variance on the experimental data were performed and the levels of the significance of the lightweight aggregate content, steel fiber aspect ratio and volume fraction on the bond strength of the concretes were evaluated through general linear model analysis of variance (GLM-ANOVA).
Lightweight and crashworthiness are two important aspects of auto-body design.
Even though this is a standalone structure, the design shares many aspects with the other examples; namely, lightweight (wood) construction, corrugated (or similarly lightweight) roofing, roof overhangs and large screens that allow views and plenty of air, but not bugs!
The rationale of the design process is presented, considering the functional aspects and aiming at a lightweight solution with low power demand.
"We think that aspects are a simple, straightforward, lightweight way to make it really clear who is receiving your posts and who you are receiving posts from," writes Diaspora.
