EVALUATION OF THERMAL METAMORPHISM TEMPERATURE OF EQUILIBRATED ORDINARY CHONDRITES by К. G. Sukhanova, A. B. Kuznetsov, S. G. Skublov, O. L. Galankina

“…The obtained temperatures are consistent with the onion-shell model of the planetesimal structure, in which the most metamorphosed chondrites are closer to the heating source (Buschhof, L6-734 °C), meteorites of the 5th petrologic type (p.t.) occupied an intermediate position (Orlovka, H5 – 687 °С; Elenovka, L5 – 691 °С; Knyaginya, LL5 – 700 °C), and the chondrites of the 4th p.t. were closer to the surface (Kargapole, H4 – 691 °C; Saratov, L4 – 670 °С; Bjurböle, LL4 – 682 °C). …”

Three-Dimensional Aerodynamic Optimization of Single-Layer Reticulated Cylindrical Roofs Subjected to Mean Wind Loads by Bingbing San, Chen Xu, Ye Qiu

“…Two objective functions were considered to minimize the highest mean suction on the roof surface and the maximum response displacement of the single-layer reticulated cylindrical shell subjected to mean wind loads. The results revealed that a cylindrical roof with a rise-to-span ratio (R/S) of 1/6.25 seems to be most effective in attenuating high suctions on the roof surface. …”

Structural Performance and Failure Mechanisms in Bend Loading of Steel-Aerated Concrete Fire Wall Composite Panels by Matthias Weiss, Xinyu Hu, Michael Pereira, Peng Zhang

“…The experimental results provide the first experimental evidence that the aerated concrete core material of the DSC panel only has a minor effect on the wall performance in bending. Most of the bending loads are absorbed by the tensile and compressive deformation of the steel outer shell and the shear deformation near the clinch seam. …”
