In this paper, the nonlinear behaviour of steel plate shear walls with corrugated plates under lateral pushover loading conditions in the models' top level has been analytically investigated by the ...

The unified solution is studied for a beam of rectangular cross section. With the rotation defined in the average sense over the cross section, the kinematics with higher-order shear deformation ...

Abstract: Wall shear stress (WSS) is a crucial hemodynamic factor that promotes atherosclerosis (plaque) development in arteries; although the relationship between WSS and arterial atherosclerosis has ...
