This work presents one and two-dimensional numerical analyses using isotropic and anisotropic damage models for the concrete in order to discuss the advantages of these modeling.Initially, it is shortly described the damage model proposed by Mazars.This constitutive model assumes the concrete as isotropic and elastic material, where locally the dam
Orientational dependence Ansell Transformers and Drivers of the IR absorbing amide bands of silk is demonstrated from two orthogonal longitudinal and transverse microtome slices with a thickness of only ∼100 nm.Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) which preferentially probes orientation perpendicular to the sample’s surface was
Morphogenesis in plants is usually reconstructed by scanning electron microscopy and histology of meristematic structures.These techniques are destructive and require many samples to obtain a consecutive series of states.Unfortunately, using this methodology the absolute timing of growth and complete relative initiation of organs remain obscure.To
The objectives of root canal treatment are to prevent the apical parodontitis, to heal the acute or cronic apical periodontits and to maintain the results, keeping the teeth on the arch in a functional stage.Thus, accuratelly elimination of soft and hard tissues (cleaning and shaping of the root canal system), disinfection and complete, homogeneous
A crop boom is a sudden, nonlinear and intense expansion of a new crop.Despite their large impacts, boom-bust dynamics are not well understood; booms are largely unpredictable and difficult to steer once they unfold.Based on the striking resemblances between land regime shifts and crop booms, we apply complex systems theory, highlighting the potent
