These classical lightweight properties result in lower inertial forces that consequently lead to higher vibration amplitudes thereby increasing sound radiation.
It also enables the lightweight potential resulting from proper consideration of the exceeding of the Woehler-lines (constant amplitude loading) by the Gassner-lines (variable amplitude loading) for a required duration.
In addition, the need for lightweight communication protocols results in smaller headers than in other network designs.
As the Carrera engine not only added more power but was heavier as well, Porsche asked coachmaker Reutter to build a series of lightweight bodies, which resulted in the GT designation.
The resulting lightweight panels are typically used as primary load-bearing compression elements for buildings such as domestic dwellings, apartment blocks, schools and hotels.
Using lightweight brick core resulted in a decrease in the serviceability load and energy absorption relative to the conventional concrete beams regardless of the type of steel mesh used.
On the other hand, the lightweight brick core resulted in substantial reduction in the stiffness of the beam, first cracking load, serviceability load, ultimate load and energy absorption in comparison to the beams incorporation solid concrete/recycled concrete core.
We notice that in Fig. 5, the increasing humidification of the lightweight concrete studied results in a decrease in the thermal resistance, which negatively influences the insulating power of this material.
Surface topography and pore distribution of the aggregate surface dominate the water absorption characteristic of the aggregate, affect critically the properties of the resulting lightweight aggregate concrete, and the bonding with the cement matrix.
The distribution of stresses achieved by adhesive bonding permits a reduction in weight and cost, especially relevant with fragile materials and lightweight structures, which results in improved joint strength and fatigue properties.
