The metal-intermetallic laminate composite Ti/Al 3 Ti can be used as protective armor in aerospace and military applications, due to its low density, high strength, and superior impact-resistant performance.The ballistic performance of the laminate composite was studied by ballistic testing and finite element technology.The failure modes, such as r
Abstract This paper presents the development of an effective numerical formulation for the analysis of steel-concrete composite structures considering geometric and materials nonlinear effects.Thus, a methodology based Clutch Pawl on Refined Plastic Hinge Method (RPHM) was developed and the stiffness parameters were obtained by homogenization of cr
Recent technology development and penetration of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), advanced building control systems, Nakiri and the internet-of-things (IoT) in the built environment are providing detailed information on building operation, performance, and user’s comfort and behavior.Building owners can obtain a wide range of energy c
Cytolytic leukotoxins of the repeat in toxin (RTX) family are large proteins excreted by gram-negative bacterial pathogens Acoustic Phosphor Bronze through the type 1 secretion system (T1SS).Due to low yields and poor stability in cultures of the original pathogens, it is useful to purify recombinant fatty-acylated RTX cytolysins from inclusion bod
