Recently, reinforced concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been widespread. The objective of this research is to calculate the shear strength capacity increment of reinforced concrete beams strengthened by CFRP strips. The ABAQUS software was used to construct a model of the finite elements for beam simulation. Six beams were generated in ABAQUS software, two were control beams and the remaining four were reinforced by varying CFRP strips. All beams had the same rectangular cross-section geometry and length. The obtain results showed that CFRP can significantly increase the shear capacity of the beam. And the highest load and deflection is a little affected by the CFRP strips orientation. This study can proposes a more economical way for existing structures to improve the carrying capacity.

One of the fundamental requirements of engineering education is laboratory work and practical teaching. The main purpose of the laboratory is to provide a space for students to carry out practices that allow them to check the theory learned in the classroom, validate hypotheses, propose solutions and recommendations, develop critical thinking skills and develop soft skills. The provision of laboratory work to engineering students helps them familiarize themselves with similar situations as they will find real life as they practice their profession. Primarily, this laboratory work is based on actual hardware and a laboratory where the students can work at a specified time, perform experiments under the guidance of a lab technician and leave with data that they can analyze later using the knowledge they learned in class. These laboratories and the hardware equipment in them are expensive to acquire and maintain. Also, they are an expensive upgrade, yet upgrading is inevitable with the rapid change in technology we are all experiencing. Various institutions have been forced to use outdated laboratory hardware or do with minimal hardware for performing engineering experiments. However, the rapid increase in technology that is contributing to the problem can be used to solve it by having a suitable front-end design in computers that can be used to simulate experiments.

The Basic Document, Structural Safety, Steel of the Spanish Technical Building Code provides mathematical expressions to obtain the lateral buckling resistance of hot-rolled steel beams. These expressions include a coefficient, {displaystyle C_{1}}, that accounts for variation of the bending moment along the beam. However, this document only provides values for linear diagrams of bending moments. The instruction for Structural Steel, a copy of the latest version of Eurocode 3, does not include any method to obtain the elastic critical moment. On the contrary, a table with correction factors applicable to different types of bending moments diagrams is included. In this document both procedures have been combined and results have been compared to those obtained using other versions of the Eurocode 3. Finally, tables have been provided to ease the design of hot-rolled steel beams while preventing the lateral buckling.

The effects of surging and heaving movements of installation platform on mechanical behaviors of SCT installation pipe was studied. Movements of SCT installation platform, ocean wave and current, water depth, SCT weight, installation pipe specification and those dominate the mechanical behaviors of installation pipe and SCT installation precision were considered. The results indicate that surging movement of the platform is the main factor that dominate the deformation of the installation pipe. The surging and heaving movements have significant effect on the tension force loaded on the installation pipe and thus need to be considered when designing SCT installation.

The paper examines the primary drivers and factors influencing the volatility of natural gas prices in the world from January 2007 to July 2020. In addition to the narrow dependence between crude oil and natural gas prices, the influence of renewable energy production and coal production on the price of natural gas has been studied. For that purpose, the method of multiple linear regression was used. The results show that the volatility of natural gas prices significantly depends on the type of the shock in the natural gas market, and that the total production of energy from renewable sources, production of coal and natural gas and the price of crude oil have a significant impact on the price of gas.

The Open Shop Problem is a Production Scheduling problem where jobs do not have predestined processing routes, which increases the solution space and, therefore, the complexity of the problem. This work proposes a novel mathematical model that addresses the Open Shop theme with worker flexibility and no-wait. We consider the resource constraint of flexible and multiskilled labor. That is, the workers can execute their activities in more than one workstation. Simultaneously, the latter the continued production is contemplated, which hinders the reachability of feasible solutions and therefore increases the problem complexity. To validate the model, we generate several benchmarks, and the results obtained highlight the importance of worker flexibility in achieving greater problem feasibility.

The wall thickness of pressure pipe is often thinned due to the erosion wear, which leads to pipe failure and even safety accidents. In particular, the tee pipe is more prone to be erosive as a key component of transferring fluid with particles. Therefore, the erosion wear mechanism of high pressure manifold tee pipe based on liquid-solid two-phase flow is studied in this paper. Firstly, the standard tee pipe geometry model is established and the grid is divided. And then grid number independence is verified by the percentage difference. According to the structural characteristics of tee pipe, the wear of the inner wall under four different port combinations is predicted. In addition, the relationship between erosion rate and wall shear stress is further analyzed by fluid velocity, particle diameter and mass flow rate. Double tee pipes geometry model was established to explore the erosion wear on the inner walls. The effects of assembly length and different port combinations on erosion wear were discussed respectively. When the inlets are fixed, the wall shear stress distribution of the downstream tee pipe is mainly affected by the outlets. The assembly length mainly affects the erosion rate of the downstream tee pipe.

This document describes the process of developing a game that simulates the fundamental aspects of a commercial establishment in charge of marketing and performing maintenance on electric motors, aimed mainly at Electrical Engineering students. The process begins with the coding of a software capable of simulating daily machinery buying and selling events, then its design was refined, including other elements that enrich the user experience. With these elements, you can make add-ons that allow you to simulate and document events in such a way that they can be used outside of your initial target audience.

In order to reduce the discretization error, in this paper, Richardson’s Extrapolation and Convergence Error Estimator were used to investigating the buckling problem convergence. The main objective was to verify the convergence order of the stepped column problem and to define a consistent moment of inertia at the point of variation of the cross-section. The variable of interest was the critical buckling load obtained by the Finite Difference Method. The convergent solution obtained errors less than 10-8, and this work showed that the best solution is not defined by excessive mesh refinement, but by the solution convergence analysis.
