In prestressed concrete with steel strand, the bonding force provided by the mechanical bite force mainly comes from the extrusion force generated by the twisted strands when they are stressed, that is, the pre-rib extrusion force Px. The horizontal component of the pre-rib extrusion force \(\...
you can’t expect the wavefunction to behave the same way when you are in fact calculating different electronic configurations. If you still insist in optimizing it then try the option MaxStep=N where N relates to the size of the step as 0.01N bohr or radians (default N=30) so the opti...
The process of restrained activation is further explained in the subfigure of Fig. 1(b). Shortly after the initiation of the heating process, the bar undergoes a short period of thermal expansion, followed by an increase in stress, owing to start of the phase transformation from martensite to...
If sovereign bond yields increase, the yields of long-term bonds from countries with higher sovereign risk (i.e., peripheral countries) increase to a greater extent than those of short-term bonds, i.e., the increase in the sovereign bond yields increases the term premium. Therefore, these ...
In the surface roughness measurement, filtering is used to highlight the roughness (high-frequency, short-wavelength component) or waviness (low-frequency, long-wavelength component) of a test part. The filtering method in the Zygo optical profiler employed in this series of measurements was set ...
