Cyclic Loading Test of Rectangular Tube-Type Buckling-Restrained Braces with Enhancements to Prevent Local Bulging Failure
In this study, innovative enhancements of rectangular tube-type buckling-restrained braces are proposed to prevent bulging failure on the surface of the outer restrainer and validated experimentally.First, an inner restrainer composed of a bent plate, which increases the stiffness and Course a pied - Homme - Vetements - Collant - Lamine strength to
Intelligent Evaluation of Stone Cell Content of Korla Fragrant Pears by Vis/NIR Reflection Spectroscopy
Stone cells are a distinctive characteristic of pears and their formation negatively affects the quality of the fruit.To evaluate the stone cell content (SCC) of Korla fragrant pears, we developed a Vis/NIR spectroscopy system that allowed for the adjustment of the illuminating angle.The successive projective algorithm (SPA) and the Monte Carlo uni
