Stability analysis of truss chords loaded by a
combination of axial and lateral forces is studied. A
simple model based on beam-column theory is proposed and
analyzed. The continuous truss chord is replaced by a beam column
loaded by end moments replacing the effect of
adjacent members. The solution yields...
An overall systems design code was developed to model
an advanced in-core thermionic energy conversion based
nuclear reactor system for space applications at power
levels of 10 to 50 kWe. The purpose of this work was to
provide the overall shell for the systems code and to also
provide the...
Making quality and winterhardiness in barley are "ultimate" phenotypes composed of
component, quantitatively inherited traits. A 69-point genome map of the seven chromosomes of
barley was used, in conjunction with multi-environment phenotypes for grain yield and malting
quality, to determine the chromosome locations of quantitative trait loci (QTLs). A combined...
