Steel sheet piles are long structural sections with interlocks which form a continuous retaining wall. To retain soil or water in most cases, sheet piles have been used for all kinds of temporary and ...

The elastic modulus relates the applied stress to the strain it produces. In a material that obeys Hooke's Law, the initial uniaxial elastic response is linear with stress and strain coupled through ...

Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

Arterial diameter enlargement is thought to be an early indicator in the progression of atherosclerosis. 1, 2 Increasing brachial artery diameter is related to conventional cardiovascular risk factors ...

Stems of grass support much of the world's food supply during grain maturation. The purpose of this study was to determine the mechanical properties of stems and to determine if thick-walled, ...
