The oedometric tests that belong to fundamental laboratory tests are carrying out while the subsoil stiffness in uniaxial strain state corresponds to conditions for the r [...]

The vibration amplitude of rotors excited by imbalance can be significantly reduced if damping devices are inserted between the rotor and its stationary part. To achieve [...]

The article reports on development of experimental procedures used for evaluation of mechanical properties of cancellous bone using small samples of cylindrical shape. Bo [...]

Abstrakt: Two medium-term experiments with lateral pressure of flowing loose sand acting on a retaining wall were performed. The experiments showed some rather unexpected [...]

Semi-solid or mushy state processing permits a material to partially solidify before shape making operations. The understanding of material behaviour in the mushy state i [...]

The paper presents the results of physical experiment E3/0+2 both with the passive pressure and the pressure at rest of the ideally non-cohesive sand on a retaining wall [...]

The loss of elastic stability caused by both lateral and torsional deformations of bent beams is called lateral buckling. The most typical cases of lateral buckling of be [...]

In this paper we present an identification method of microplane model parameters from results of experiments in a uniaxial deformation on concrete. Novelties are usage of [...]

The uniaxial compression is a kind of loading which occurs in concrete structures frequently. In the case of solidifying concrete the uniaxial compression without any lat [...]

The measurement of lateral deformation of solidifying concrete founds its application in many concrete technology fields. In this article, we present a method of using a [...]
