For the dimpled test channel the ranges were: 0.74 2.07 and 1.11 2.26 at rib location; and 0.75 2.43 and 1.18 2.4 at the mid-rib location.
The cover-controlled cracks are internal concrete cracks that initiate at steel rib location and are contained within the concrete cover.
Due to the combined effect of Coriolis force, rotating buoyancy and the geometric features defined by the test section channels, the rib-wise average ¯¯¯¯¯Nuα/¯¯¯¯¯Nuα,0 over the leading and trailing walls respectively fall in to the ranges of: 0.71 1.42 and 1.26 1.88 at rib location, and 0.74 1.26 and 1.11 1.77 at mid-rib location for the un-dimpled channel.
The isolated interdependent Re, Ro, and Bu impaction on the Nu distribution were accounted; also, the rib-wise average Nusselt number (¯¯¯¯¯Nuα) at rib and mid-rib locations inclusive over the leading and trailing ribbed walls were recorded.
A congruous physical data set consistently produced an empirical ¯¯¯¯¯Nuα correlation which evaluated the individual variables, and the interdependent Ro and Bu effect on ¯¯¯¯¯Nuα at rib and mid-rib locations for the parallelogram ribbed dimpled channel to further assist in design applications.
In continuation of an experimental investigation reported earlier by the authors on bolted moment joints in ferrocement construction, this study regards (1) further testing of ten such joints to broaden the range of the principal parameters – thickness of the connected ribs and location of bolts and (2) simple analytical modeling for design.
When the transducer was placed across the ribs longitudinally, the location of the ribs allowed for the accurate delineation of the pleural line, a roughly horizontal hyper-echoic line between the upper and lower ribs.
Molding process simulation is used to analyze the distortion of the legs and reference pads in the optical housing with various change-options such as rib thickness, gate location and process conditions.
The optimization methodology for mechanical design, e.g., rib design, injection location, etc. and process conditioning is constructed with the use of the complex method to minimize the warpage of the injection-molded part.
Digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) will be generated indicating local bony anatomy (upper pelvis, spine, ribs) and the location of kidneys from the planning CT.
Multiple rib fractures in any location, in the absence of overt trauma, were strongly associated with abusive injury.
