Theoretical and experimental analysis of the quasi-static and dynamic behaviour...
Tadeu, António; Fernández Romero, Antonio J.; Bandeira, Filipe; Pedro, Filipe; Dias, Sara; Serra, Miguel; Brett, Michael; Galvín, PedroThis work validates the simplified theoretical, analytical and numerical models used in the preliminary design stage of the 516 Arouca footbridge over the River Paiva (Portugal), the world's longest suspension footbridge. The models were used to define the configuration of the bridge under static loading and the eigenfrequencies excited under dynamic loading. The three-dimensional finite element model used in t...
Thermodynamic analysis of unimer-micelle and sphere-to-rod micellar transitions...
Valente, Artur J. M.; López Cascales, J. J.; Fernández Romero, Antonio J.Temperature dependence of specific conductivity of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (NaDBS) aqueous solutions was analyzed. Two breaks on the plot appeared for all temperature, which suggest two micellar transitions. This has been corroborated by surface tension measurements. The first transition concentration occurs at the critical micelle concentration (CMC), whilst the second critical concentration (so-called ...
