Architectural trends to include transparency in structural systems lead to the implementation,
in the last decades, of structural glass load-bearing components able to substitute traditional …

A facial recognition system is a technology capable of identifying or verifying a person from a
digital image or a video frame from a video source. There are multiple methods in which …

Reinforcement strategies have been developed to prevent catastrophic failures of glass
structures after cracking. In this context, the composite action between glass and …

Laminated glass beams are used as supporting structural elements for glass roofs or glass
facades to maximize their transparency. Their failure is rather brittle, with a residual load …

Taking advantage of past full-scale experimental test results, the bending performance of
laminated glass beams with post-tensioned, adhesively bonded steel tendons is explored …

With the evolution of technology, the construction and geometry of the piston, together with
the materials from which it is made, as well as the related manufacturing technologies, have …

The effectiveness of post-tensioning in enhancing the fracture resistance of glass beams
depends on the level of compressive pre-stress introduced at the glass edge surface that will …

Previous research has shown that glass beams with external, mechanical post-tensioning
along their edges show better structural performance than glass beams without any such …

A space probe is an unmanned space vehicle launched into space to study more or less
distant different celestial objects: The Sun, the planets, dwarf planets and small bodies, their …

16 Psyche is one of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt. This object has a
diameter of over 200 km and contains about 1% of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. It is …
