Comparison among different rainfall energy harvesting structures

2018

In this paper, an experimental comparison between different rainfall harvesting devices through the study of the electrical rectifying circuit is proposed. In more detail, three harvesting structures are considered: the cantilever, the bridge and the floating circle. Different waveforms were acquired and discussed. The processed data were compared in order to suggest the best choice for the rectifying circuit, from the simplest one to that most frequently endorsed in the technical literature.

Construction sequence analysis of long-span cable-stayed bridges

2018

Abstract In cantilever construction of long-span cable-stayed bridges the stressing sequence of stays is fundamental for establishing the final configuration of the bridge. The structural behaviour of these bridges is usually evaluated through a forward staged construction analysis, in which the values of the prestressing forces to be applied to stays are the main unknowns. A unified procedure for determining the initial cable forces and for analyzing the entire sequence is presented here, considering the geometric nonlinearity of stays through the Dischinger equivalent elastic modulus. The target is the simultaneous determination of the initial cable forces with the simulation of the const…

Experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of short-term preloaded carbon fiber reinforced polymer-confined concrete columns

2017

Strengthening of concrete columns with fiber reinforced polymer sheets provides a good improvement to the existing structural members in terms of load and strain capacity due to the properties of the composite jacket. A proper knowledge of the load–strain response of the composite members is necessary to design retrofitting intervention of existing structures; however, so far the available design methods do not allow to take into account the effect of the possible presence of service loads on the compressive behavior of the reinforced columns. An experimental investigation on the compressive behavior of preloaded circular concrete columns reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer was …

Une guerre sans héros ? La guerre civile dans la bande dessinée espagnole (1977-2009)

2011

La bande dessinée espagnole de l’après-franquisme, à contre-courant de tous les autres secteurs de l’édition depuis 20 ans, n’a jamais témoigné d’un grand intérêt pour le sujet de la Guerre civile qui a déchiré l’Espagne entre 1936 et 1939. Autre sujet d’étonnement, les représentations qu’elle a pu en faire s’opposent radicalement au schéma classique et attendu de la bande dessinée d’aventure qui exalte la figure du héros de guerre. Les œuvres étudiées dans cet article (la tétralogie de Carlos Giménez et celle de Antonio Hernández Palacios), aussi différentes soient-elles, ne montrent qu’une chose : la tragédie de la guerre. Contrary to all other publishing sectors over the past two decades…

Carrera profesional del maestro de obras del rey en el Reino de Valencia en época de los en la época de los Austrias: la sucesión al cargo que ocupó …

2009

El maestro de obras reales en el Reino de Valencia se ocupó de la supervisión de los trabajos en los bienes inmuebles del patrimonio regio, que incluía arquitectura e ingeniería civil, militar e hidráulica. Presentamos el informe enviado por el virrey en 1622 sobre los tres candidatos al cargo: Antonio Picó, Jerónimo Negret y Francisco Arboreda (o Arboleda). Resulta especialmente interesante la información sobre este último, que lo ocupó hasta 1636, pues en la exposición de méritos, por un lado, ofrece información sobre las obras realizadas por sus ancestros, Joan Arboreda, que identificamos con el Joan Navarro que ocupó el mismo cargo en las décadas centrales del siglo XVI, y Jerónimo Arbo…

Carteles de libros en España: orígenes barrocos (con un apunte decimonónico)

2018

ABSTRACT: This article involves the study of Spanish posters that advertise the sale of publications printed by bookseller-publishers and printers in the modern world. The array of posters identified and preserved is not extensive, due to their ephemeral nature. However, their utilization is confirmed in documentary sources, references to these posters in gazettes, erudite correspondence, or literary testimonies themselves. I will attempt to demonstrate the role of the poster in the diffusion of publicity for these editorial novelties by considering walls as a space for public communication, serving the purpose of promoting new publications. In this study I consider the Baroque antecedents …

On Approximation of Entropy Solutions for One System of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Impulse Source Terms

2010

We study one class of nonlinear fluid dynamic models with impulse source terms. The model consists of a system of two hyperbolic conservation laws: a nonlinear conservation law for the goods density and a linear evolution equation for the processing rate. We consider the case when influx-rates in the second equation take the form of impulse functions. Using the vanishing viscosity method and the so-called principle of fictitious controls, we show that entropy solutions to the original Cauchy problem can be approximated by optimal solutions of special optimization problems.
