The influence of masonry infills on the in-plane behaviour of RC framed structures is a central topic in the seismic evaluation and retrofitting of existing buildings. Many models in the literature use an equivalent strut member in order to represent the infill but, among the parameters influencing the equivalent strut behaviour, the effect of vertical loads acting on the frames is recognized but not quantified. Nevertheless a vertical load causes a non-negligible variation in the in-plane behaviour of infilled frames by influencing the effective volume of the infill. This results in a change in the stiffness and strength of the system. This paper presents an equivalent diagonal pin-jointed strut model taking into account the stiffening effect of vertical loads on the infill in the initial state. The in-plane stiffness of a range of infilled frames was evaluated using a finite element model of the frame-infill system and the cross-section of the strut equivalent to the infill was obtained for different levels of vertical loading by imposing the equivalence between the frame containing the infill and the frame containing the diagonal strut. In this way a law for identifying the equivalent strut width depending on the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the infilled frame was generalized to consider the influence of vertical loads for use in the practical applications. The strategy presented, limited to the initial stiffness of infilled frames, is preparatory to the definition of complete non-linear cyclic laws for the equivalent strut.

During the last decade, the Internet usage has been growing at an enormous rate which has beenaccompanied by the developments of network applications (e.g., video conference, audio/videostreaming, E-learning, E-Commerce and real-time applications) and allows several types ofinformation including data, voice, picture and media streaming. While end-users are demandingvery high quality of service (QoS) from their service providers, network undergoes a complex trafficwhich leads the transmission bottlenecks. Considerable effort has been made to study thecharacteristics and the behavior of the Internet. Simulation modeling of computer networkcongestion is a profitable and effective technique which fulfills the requirements to evaluate theperformance and QoS of networks. To simulate a single congested link, simulation is run with asingle load generator while for a larger simulation with complex traffic, where the nodes are spreadacross different geographical locations generating distributed artificial loads is indispensable. Onesolution is to elaborate a load generation system based on master/slave architecture.

A análise do efeito da profundidade de semeadura e carga vertical visando a melhorar o aproveitamento, e a integração entre o solo e a cultura é muito difícil. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar cargas verticais (0; 98; 196 e 294 N) sobre as rodas compactadoras das semeadoras, combinando com profundidades de semeadura (0,03; 0,05 e 0,07 m) para a cultura da soja. O trabalho foi realizado no DER/UNESP - Jaboticabal, na pista de ensaio do Laboratório de Máquinas e Mecanização Agrícola (LAMMA), utilizando o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, no esquema fatorial (4 x 3), com 12 tratamentos e três repetições, totalizando 36 observações. Foram analisados: emergência de plântulas, estandes inicial e final, índice de sobrevivência, área mobilizada e rendimento de grãos. Os resultados evidenciaram que, com exceção da área mobilizada em relação à profundidade de semeadura, todas as demais variáveis não foram influenciadas pelos tratamentos.

The flexural vibration of a homogeneous isotropic linearly elastic cylinder of any aspect ratio is analysed in this paper. Natural frequencies of a cylinder under uniformly distributed axial loads acting on its bases are calculated numerically by the Ritz method with terms of power series in the coordinate directions as approximating functions. The effect of axial loads on the flexural vibration cannot be described by applying infinitesimal strain theory, therefore, geometrically nonlinear strain–displacement relations with second-order terms are considered here. The natural frequencies of free–free, clamped–clamped, and sliding–sliding cylinders subjected to axial loads are calculated using the proposed three-dimensional Ritz approach and are compared with those obtained with the finite element method and the Bernoulli–Euler theory. Different experiments with cylinders axially compressed by a hydraulic press are carried out and the experimental results for the lowest flexural frequency are compared with the numerical results. An approach based on the Ritz formulation is proposed for the flexural vibration of a cylinder between the platens of the press with constraints varying with the intensity of the compression. The results show that for low compressions the cylinder behaves similarly to a sliding–sliding cylinder, whereas for high compressions the cylinder vibrates as a clamped–clamped one.

Test results of 12 reinforced concrete (RC) wall panels with openings are presented. The panels have been subjected to in-plane vertical loads applied at an eccentricity to represent possible accidental eccentricity that occurs in practice due to constructional imperfections. The 12 specimens consist of two identical groups of six panels each. One group of panels is tested in one-way in-plane action (i.e., supported at top and bottom edges against lateral displacement). The second group of panels is tested in two-way in-plane action (i.e., supported on all the four edges against lateral displacement). Openings in the panels represent typical door and window openings. Cracking loads, ultimate loads, crack patterns, and lateral deflections of the panels are studied. Empirical methods have been developed for the prediction of ultimate load. Also, lateral deflections, cracking loads, and ultimate loads of identical loads tested under one-way and two-way action are compared.

This work had as objective to evaluate the performance of mechanisms of cutting of the no-tillage seedrills in different vegetable coverings and applied vertical loads. The experimental design used was in randomized blocks and factorial scheme 3 x 4, with four replications. The trials were accomplished with three different mechanisms of culting of the straw (plane disc, corrugated disc and wavy disc), using four different vertical loads (750, 1500, 2250 and 3000 N). All treatments were accomplished in five straw coverings (corn, sorghum, triticale, black oats and radish). The results showed that larger the amount of dry matter covering the soil, higher the demand of horizontal and vertical forces. The wavy disc promotes the largest values of area of mobilized soil and requires large horizontal force, vertical force and horizontal force per area of cutting depth of discs (specific force). The treatment with plane disc required higher values of the horizontal forces per area of mobilized soil and of vertical force in the corn and sorghum coverings.

A profundidade de semeadura e a compactação do solo sobre a semente são específicas para cada cultura e dependem de vários atributos. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a influência da compactação do solo sobre a semente e de diferentes profundidades de semeadura em um LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Eutroférrico típico na emergência e produtividade do amendoim. As cargas verticais impostas para compactação foram 0; 98,1; 196,2 e 294,3 N e as profundidades de semeadura de 0,04, 0,06 e 0,08 m. A compactação do solo na linha de semeadura não interferiu na produtividade da cultura. As profundidades de 0,04 e 0,06 m foram mais favoráveis para o desenvolvimento da cultura do amendoim. A interação profundidade versus compactação não apresentou correlação.

The individual evaluation of mechanisms for opening furrows to drop the seeds in a no-tillage seeders cultivation assists the companies in the sizing of opening tools of the ground, that search for minor energy petition and for diminishing the ground area mobilized. Therefore this work had the aim of evaluate the efforts of five different mechanisms of opening of ridge of seeding of direct plantation varyng the vertical load. The experiment was installed in one ground classified as Dystroferric Red Nitosol. The used experimental delineation was of the one randomized blocks in a factorial project 5 x 4, constituted a the following factors: five mechanisms of furrow opening (even disk - DL, corrugated disk - DC, ondulated disk - DO, double disk - DD and furrow rod - F) and four vertical loads (750, 1500, 2250 and 3000 N). To measure the forces in the studied treatments a dynamometer with sensitivity in the directions was used horizontal, lateral and vertical direction. The evaluation showed that the interaction between mechanisms of opening of ridge and vertical load was not significant, however the factors were significant when analyzed individually. The connecting rod promoted mobilization of the ground with smaller draft of horizontal effort reaching depths of work. The work showed that the vertical load influenced the depth of work of the mechanisms of ridge opening. The mechanisms of ridge opening of record type need vertical force to penetrate into the ground.

O sorgo pode ser cultivado em áreas e situações ambientais secas e quentes, em que a produtividade de outros cereais é antieconômica. Quando a semeadura do sorgo é realizada de modo eficiente, os benefícios podem ser verificados em sua produtividade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento da cultura do sorgo semeado sob três níveis de carga vertical impostas sobre as rodas compactadoras das semeadoras-adubadoras. O experimento foi conduzido na FAZU - Faculdades Associadas de Uberaba (MG), no delineamento em blocos ao acaso, no esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com três modelos de rodas compactadoras e três cargas verticais, com cinco repetições. Observou-se que não houve efeito dos tratamentos tipo de rodas compactadoras e cargas em relação aos dias para emergência, mas a regressão linear mostrou significância para carga vertical. A altura, o teor médio de água das plantas e a produção de matéria verde e seca do sorgo não diferiram entre os tratamentos.
