The experimental determination of rotor blade dynamic bending moments of a 10-kw wind turbine
… effects of wind shear and gravity on rotor blade bending moments. A drag sphere based wind measuring system was designed to measure rapid fluctuations in wind velocity at two different heights. However, severe power line noise problems with the low level signals forced the use of standard rotating …

Bending of a Flat Circular Plate With a Central Hole Due to Evenly Spaced Bending Moments at the Outside.
… under action of uniformly distributed radial bending moments applied over discrete zones at the outer boundary in an evenly spaced fashion. The solution was obtained from small-deflection plate theory as developed by LaGrange with the use of the boundary conditions formulated by Kirchhoff. A …

Analysis of Force-Limiting Capabilities of Football Neck Collars
… locations. The Cowboy Collar reduced lower neck bending moments in the front position, but raised upper neck bending moments. It also reduced lower neck bending moments in the side position, but only in the raised configuration. The Bullock Collar was effective at reducing lower neck bending …

Flexural behavior of prestressed concrete monoblock crossties
… model was also used to calculate theoretical bending moment values under ballast reactions measured in the field. Based on the results of these analyses, recommendations to improve current design and maintenance practices for prestressed concrete crossties are presented. To measure the bending …

Winglet Performance Evaluation through the Vortex Lattice Method
… on drag, range, fuel burn, as well as wing root bending moments. The results of the research show that winglet span and cant angle offer the highest gains in terms of performance while taper ratio and sweep angle have a minor contribution. In general, all winglets provided an increase in …

Response of Pile-Supported T-Walls to Fill Loading and Flood Loading Based on Physical Model Studies and Numerical Analyses
… As a result of these loading conditions, large bending moments can develop in the batter piles and these moments need to be accounted for as part of the T wall design. The goal of this research is to develop a more complete understanding of the pile bending moments in T wall systems, …

Performance of a propped retaining wall at the CTRL, Ashford
… installed<br/>in an overconsolidated clay. Pile bending moments, prop loads, pore water pressures and<br/>lateral earth pressures were logged automatically at intervals of up to 5 minutes<br/>throughout construction (and for 4 years afterwards) and wall deflections were measured<br/>during …

Upper Extremity Interaction with a Helicopter Side Airbag: Injury Criteria for Dynamic Hyperextension of the Female Elbow Joint
… Two out of the 10 tests resulted in high elbow bending moments of 128 Nm and 144 Nm. Part II included dynamic hyperextension tests on 24 female cadaver elbow joints. The energy source was a drop tower utilizing a three-point bending configuration to apply elbow bending moments matching the …

Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Shear Strength of Unstiffened Tapered Steel Members
… reasons of economy. By varying the resistance to bending in similar proportion to the bending moments, more economical structures can be obtained. The beam and column connection, or knee area, is generally subject to the greatest bending moments. It is therefore comprised of the deepest sections …

Geometrically nonlinear analysis of composite laminates using a refined shear deformation shell theory
… approximations of the displacements and bending moments (i.e., mixed formulation), and therefore only C°-approximations are required. Further, the mixed variational formulations developed herein suggest that the bending moments can be interpolated using discontinuous approximations …
