Online cultural heritage resources are widely available through digital libraries maintained by numerous organizations.In order to improve discoverability in cultural heritage, the typical approach is metadata aggregation, a method where centralized efforts such as Europeana improve the discoverability by collecting resource metadata.The redefiniti
The present study investigates the effect of stress triaxiality on mechanical behavior and fracture of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn alloy in a practical relevant strain rate range from 0.1 to 1000 s−1.Tensile tests were carried out on flat smoothed and notched specimens using an Instron VHS 40/50-20 servo-hydraulic test machine.High-speed video registration
Urbanization and human development have increased the exposure of seismic risk.Therefore, engineers need to develop new and more efficient technologies to protect people and objects from the disastrous consequences of earthquakes.Air casters have gained attention and have been utilized in the past decade as effective seismic vibration control devic
