Design and Performance of Cold Bent Glass
… address the first challenge by developing cold bent glass. Cold bending involves the straining of relatively thin glass components, at ambient temperatures, and is a low energy and cost effective manner of creating curvilinear forms. However, cold bending is not yet widely established as a …

Seismic Performance of Prestressed Pile-To-Bent Cap Connections
… structures in South Carolina use a pile-to-bent cap connection detail in their bridge bents which relies completely on mechanical bond to develop a load path from the superstructure of the bridge to the foundation. Typical construction practices involve driving precast prestressed concrete …

Design of bent quantum waveguides via shortcuts to adiabaticity
… to follow certain paths and so they need to be bent in order to be accomodated onto the chip. If the bending is too abrupt, instabilities are introduced in the system, possibly causing reflection and consequently data loss. This difficulty is usually overcome by adopting the adiabatic approach: …

A study of anchorage capacities of confined bent-bar reinforcement
… which influence the anchorage capacities of bent deformed reinforcing bars in joints of reinforced concrete structures were examined. Ten full scale specimens simulating an exterior beam-column joint in a structure were tested in order to evaluate the anchorage capacity of the beam bars …

Analysis of a bent constructed from a strain-hardening material
In conclusion, it can be said that the method of approach (whether by the minimum complementary energy or column analogy) is very straightforward, and the final set of equations can be developed very quickly. However, the final simultaneous solution presents a very difficult part of obtaining the …

The high-redshift clusters occupied by bent radio AGN (COBRA) survey
… are active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Specifically, bent, double-lobed radio sources are commonly found in clusters. I find high-redshift clusters hosting bent AGNs and explore their evolution and red sequence galaxies over cosmic time. To characterize cluster evolution, I examine the galaxy …

Analysis of Buckled and Pre-bent Columns Used as Vibration Isolators
… to the system. Several models of buckled and pre-bent struts are examined with different combinations of parameters and end conditions. The models include pinned or fixed columns supporting loads above their buckling load, and columns with an initial curvature supporting various loads. The varying …

Spatial-Longitudinal Bent-Cable Model with an Application to Atmospheric CFC Data
… two major aspects of modelling spatial data. The bent-cable is a parametric regression model to study data that exhibits a trend change over time. It comprises two linear segments to describe the incoming and outgoing phases, joined by a quadratic bend to model the transition period. For spatial …

The synthesis and properties of achiral and chiral bent-core liquid crystals
… of research in the area of 'banana-shaped' and 'bentcore' systems over the past decade and many interesting properties relating to such systems have been reported.The work contained within this thesis investigates two areas of bent-core liquid crystals. Firstly, the introduction of …

Vibration Isolation of a Horizontal Rigid Plate Supported by Pre-bent Struts
… type of vibration isolator consisting of two pre-bent struts which are clamped at both ends and intermediately bonded with a viscoelastic filler. The proposed isolation device has the ability to support a relatively large static load with little deflection and offers a low axial resistance under …

Seismic performance of an I-girder to inverted-T bent cap bridge connection
… capacity of precast I-girder to inverted-T bent cap bridge connections for seismic applications. The current design practice, as outlined by Caltrans' Seismic Design Criteria, assumes that the connection between the precast I-girders and the inverted-T bent cap will degrade in a seismic …

Cracked Cans, Bent Wire: Dating Historical Metal at Biry/Ahr House, Castroville, Texas
<p>In this work I investigate changes in historical metal consumption practices over time at Biry/Ahr House, a frontier settlement in Castroville, Texas. Alsatian immigrants settled this site in Medina County as part of the empresario system of the 1840s. Biry/Ahr House was home to two families, …

The Connection Behavior of Precast Prestressed Piles to Cast-In-Place Bent Caps
… precast prestressed piles to cast in place bent caps. This detail is constructed by plainly embedding piles to a specified depth into bent caps. Typically in regions of high seismicity such as South Carolina connections between these two elements require special detailing which increases …

On testing the change-point in the longitudinal bent line quantile regression model
… we extend the previously reported work on the bent line quantile regression model [Li et al. (2011)] to a longitudinal framework. Second, we propose a score-type test for hypothesis testing of the change-point problem using rank-based inference. The proposed test in this thesis has several …

Casting Aside Bent Bodies: Embodied Violence as an Everyday Experience for Filipino Migrant Seafarers
This research traces the intersections of migrant citizenship and political economic practices in regards to the health worlds of Filipino migrant seafarers as one potential way to understand how structural and symbolic violence is embodied. Through structural violence, seafarers are held …
