Design considerations structures

The micromechanics approaches presented in this book are an attempt to predict the mechanical properties of a composite material based on the mechanical properties of its constituent materials. In nearly all fiber-reinforced composite materials, there is considerable difference between expectation and reality. Thus, we must ask what is the usefulness of micromechanical analysis beyond gaining a feeling for why composite materials behave as they do Basically, there are two answers one related to designing a material and one related to designing a structure. 

Stiffener design parameters and some design considerations for stiffeners. Finally, we will examine a new concept for stiffening composite structures, namely orthogrid. 

A wide variety of protective coating types and systems is available for corrosion control on external and internal surfaces of structural and process plant in marine and offshore engineering. These are discussed in detail elsewhere in this text, and the purpose here is to highlight the critical importance of certain design and related operational aspects which affect both the selection and performance of protective coating systems. The following design considerations should be made ... 

Different viscoelastic materials may have considerably different creep behavior at the same temperature. A given viscoelastic material may have considerably different creep behavior at different temperatures. Viscoelastic creep data are necessary and extremely important in designing products that must bear long-term loads. It is inappropriate to use an instantaneous (short load) modulus of elasticity to design such structures because they do not reflect the effects of creep. Viscoelastic creep modulus, on the other hand, allows one to estimate the total material strain that will result from a given applied stress acting for a given time at the anticipated use temperature of the structure. 

A snap joint is economical in two respects it allows the structural member to be molded simultaneously with the molded product, and it allows rationalizing the assembly, compared with such other joining processes as screws. Table 3-4 provides a comparison of its advantages and disadvantages. Some examples of the various types and their design considerations are shown in Figs. 3-23 to 3-25. 

Since blast-resistant design is based on structural response beyond elastic limits into the inelastic range, buildings should be carefully designed in a manner that minimizes stress concentrations, brittle behavior, and abrupt failures. Some of the significant design considerations for steel and reinforced concrete blast-resistant structures are briefly summarized in this section.

A typical explosive storage structure, or magazine, appears to be nothing more than an enlarged storm-cellar from a Midwestern farm. Actually, it is unique type of structure that incorporates special design considerations. Such a structure will be discussed in this chapter. 

Microhotplates, however, are not only used for metal-oxide-based gas sensor applications. In all cases, in which elevated temperatures are required, or thermal decoupling from the bulk substrate is necessary, microhotplate-like structures can be used with various materials and detector configurations [25]. Examples include polymer-based capacitive sensors [26], pellistors [27-29], GasFETs [30,31], sensors based on changes in thermal conductivity [32], or devices that rely on metal films [33,34]. Only microhotplates for chemoresistive metal-oxide materials will be further detailed here. The relevant design considerations will be addressed. 

Overhead condensers sometimes need to be located in the structure. Usually, partial condensers need to be elevated above the reflux accumulator. Considerable structure cost reduction can be achieved if the process can use grade-mounted condensers. Mounting the exchangers at grade may require them to be designed with subcooling so that the reflux accumulator can be located above the condenser. This should be considered as part of the process design. 

While most peptides can be cyclized in a head-to-tail fashion, only certain sequences can potentially form (3-sheet structures within a (3-sheet/(3-turn framework. In many of the designed peptides the two type II (3-tums using the D-Tyr-Pro sequence have been retained and have modified and/or elongated the (3-strand positions between the two turns. Other design considerations for maintaining (3-sheet structure within such a scaffold include the following ... 

The innovative potential and the ingenuity which have gone into designing libraries, vectors and selection protocols are impressive. However, considerable input has come from structural modelling and design considerations, in the proliferation of phage-display scaffolds to provide constrained variable epitopes in different environments or contexts . In addition the method has been used to understand protein folding, protein-protein interactions and structure-function relationships in catalysis. I hope that, in this review,...
