Abstract:

Components of transport trucks are subjected to dynamic cyclic loads. The magnitude of these loads depends on road conditions and cargo mass. Cyclic loads can cause fatigue failure at stress levels significantly below the yield strength of the material. When calculating fatigue, it is necessary to determine the actual loads acting on the structure under working conditions. In this study, stanchion displacements of overloaded timber trucks were measured under both static and dynamic loads. For the specified mass of timber, a history of dynamic loads acting on the stanchion was obtained. Then, b

Abstract:

This paper presents an investigation of using different material testing approaches to determine material properties of timber utility poles from two hardwood tree species, i.e. Spotted Gum and Tallowwood. The material properties investigated are the Modulus of Electricity (MOE), the Modulus of Rupture (MOR) and the compression strength (CS) in longitudinal direction as well as radial and tangential directions of the cross section of the poles. These material properties are needed for the accurate modelling of timber poles using Finite Element Method (FEM) for the study of stress wave propagat

Abstract:

The structural integrity due to problems in the uncertainties of load, the load-carrying capacity of timber structures is of great importance, since peaks of increased loads might occur. One solution of these problems lies in the evaluation of timber structures using non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, and in this special case frequency based identification methods. The aim of this paper was to investigate if it is possible to estimate the axial loads in timber beams using resonance frequency analysis to evaluate on whether the beams have sufficient load-bearing capacity.

Fiber-reinforced polymeric (FRP) composites are materials that are increasing in use in civil engineering applications. Despite the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance offered by these organic matrix materials, their susceptibility to the synergistic effects of stress and environmental weathering hinders their widespread acceptance in civil engineering. The durability of a specific formulation of wood-compatible, pultruded, E-glass–phenolic composite is characterized.

Soil pressure measurements demonstrated the dramatic effects of soil shear strength and modulus on the responses of both timber and wood posts. The differences in the failure mechanisms between stiff and soft cohesive soils and noncohesive soils are demonstrated by both stress distributions and total stresses measured by the pressure transducers.

The Stress Echocardiography chapter reviews the opportunities to increase sensitivity and specificity of stress testing for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease with adjunctive echocardiography with exercise or dobutamine-atropine stress. Baseline imaging prior to stress should include a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac structure and function, including the assessment of valvular disease with Doppler echocardiography. The chapter discusses stress echocardiography protocols; image analysis and reporting; sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detection of coronary artery disease; and evaluation of noncoronary cardiac disease. New and developing echocardiographic technology, including ultrasound assessment of myocardial perfusion, real-time 3D echocardiographic, and strain imaging are also discussed.

Abstract:

The chapter Stress X-Ray Computed Tomography reviews the history of cardiac computed tomography (CT) including electron beam and multidetector CT. After a brief history of CT, the chapter examines the opportunities and challenges of the use of electron beam and multidetector CT in the assessment of myocardial perfusion imaging. The practical use of multidetector CT at this time is for anatomic evaluation of epicardial coronary stenoses and pathology, assessment of coronary calcification, and increasing of a noninvasive assessment of fractional flow reserve. Limitations include the need to precisely time multiple CT scans with intravenous contrast injection; multidetector CT’s acute sensitivity to motion artifacts, requiring the latest generation CT scanners for optimal results; and, despite its excellent spatial resolution, the resolution of iodinated contrast in the myocardium as a measure of perfusion is suboptimal.

Abstract:

The chapter Exercise Testing Protocols compares the types of protocols available. Historically, exercise testing began with protocols eliciting a submaximal effort. With time, other protocols were developed including intermittent exercise with rest between exercise stages, a ramp protocol with gradually increasing stages, bicycle ergometry, isometric testing and mental stress testing. Given their ability to measure or estimate maximal oxygen consumption (V̇0<sub>2max</sub>) and assess myocardial ischemia during and a peak exercise, maximal treadmill exercise protocols became the most popular. Most commonly used have been those of Bruce, Ellestad, Balke and Ware, Astrand, and Cornell. All successfully achieve maximal workload in a predictable manner.

Abstract:

The chapter Predicting Prognosis with the Exercise Test: Putting It All Together synthesizes the diagnostic and prognostic components other the presence or absence of ST depression that can increase the power of exercise testing. These components include resting heart rate, time of onset and magnitude of ST depression, angina, exercise duration, heart rate recovery, chronotropic incompetence, and the ST Heart Rate Index. The sensitivity and specificity of exercise testing and Bayes theorem are reviewed in conjunction with the challenge of determining a satisfactory gold standard for defining coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemia. The implications of the decrease in the burden of CAD in the United States and other industrialized countries is reviewed, including the opportunity to include ≥1.5 mm of upsloping ST depression as a criterion of an abnormal exercise test. The implications of Bayes Theorem and post-referral bias are scrutinized. Emerging data suggesting that habitual physical activity and physical fitness may decrease cancer risk is examined.

Abstract:

The application of composite materials for prosthetic applications is the norm in recent times. Accurately characterizing the principal stresses during tensile testing is therefore essential. The low transverse compressive strength of most composite materials limits high clamping forces during tensile testing. Tabs are consequently critical for cushioning against grip pressure and surface damage. However, tabs tend to introduce induced stress concentrations. In this chapter, the induced stress concentrations are minimized via the optimization of tab design configurations. Stress concentration obtained via finite element analysis were used to develop a full factorial design for statistical analysis and compared with a Taguchi, Taguchi-multi response and Taguchi-genetic algorithm optimizations. It was established that to minimize the stress concentrations, low values of tab stiffness, thickness, and taper angle were required while the adhesive thickness was increased. The Taguchi and hybrid approaches were efficient and reduced the number of simulations from 32 to 8 (75% reduction).

Concrete ties have become a promising alternative to timber ties for freight lines with increased curvature, high annual traffic, and large axle loads. They are also widely adopted in passenger lines. High strength (HS) concrete is the material of choice in the fabrication of prestressed concrete railroad ties. The higher strength of the concrete is directly related to higher values of the Elastic Modulus, thus increasing the rigidity of the material. The combination of increased strength, rigidity, and the material brittleness may lead to the development of high amplitude stresses with high g
