Modified Gravity with Torsion
… extend the theory and show that even if we allow torsion to be present we cannot reach a physical setup. In this process we have discovered interesting properties of the torsion field that could play an important role in generalised cosmological setups. In the next application we consider a …

Torsion heating in complex plasma crystals.
… particles straddling a crystal monolayer called torsions. Torsions have been observed previously, and some aspects of their motion have been studied, but the energy and structural perturbations of the torsion have not been fully revealed. A new diagnostic linked to the particle amplitude of …

The Torsion Angle of Random Walks
… this thesis, we study the expected mean of the torsion angle of an n-step<br />equilateral random walk in 3D. We consider the random walk is generated within a confining sphere or without a confining sphere: given three consecutive vectors <sup>→</sup><em>e</em><sub>1</sub> , …

Torsion of Elliptical Composite Cylindrical Shells
… of elliptical composite cylindrical shells under torsion is studied. The torsional condition is developed by rotating one end of the cylinder relative to the other. Prebuckling, buckling, and postbuckling responses are examined, and material failure is considered. Four elliptical cross sections, …

Reliability of reinforced concrete beams in torsion
… with the ACI Standard 318-83 design criteria for torsional reinforced concrete members is evaluated. Advanced first-order, second-moment reliability analysis is used to compute the reliability index. Reinforced concrete beams, subjected to both equilibrium and compatibility torsion, are analyzed. …

Combined Tension-Torsion Loading of Braided Composite Structures
… Presently, braided composites under tension and torsion loading have been studied individually. Mechanical behaviour of braided composites under combined tension-torsion loading is common, yet no studies have explored this effect. In this study, mechanical properties of carbon fibre, fibreglass …

Analysis of a reinforced concrete beam in torsion
… of reinforcing were tested to failure in pure torsion. SR⁻⁴ strain gages were used to measure the concrete strains at the surface of the test beams. A review of analytical and experimental studies in the literature is presented and briefly discussed. The test results were then compared with the …

Torsion Pendulum Testing of the LISA Charge Management System
… campaign, namely the four-test-masses torsion pendulum at the University of Trento. We also present the electrostatic model and the measurement techniques used to evaluate the electric charge on the pendulum test mass. In the third chapter, we introduce the concept of apparent yield, …

Torsion Units of Integral Group Rings and Scheme Rings
We study torsion units of algebras over the ring of integers Z with nice bases. These include integral group rings, integral adjacency algebras of association schemes and integral C-algebras. Torsion units of group rings have been studied extensively since the 1960’s. Much of the attention has been …

Information-Based Torsion Angle Potential for Proteins and Applications
Statistical potentials offer a significant bioinformation-based alternative to physical potentials in protein structure prediction and design. As an introduction we survey the aspects and methods involved in the derivation and applicability of various statistical potentials. The statistical …
