Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Plates under Pure Torsion

The behavior of reinforced concrete members under torsional loading has interested many researchers during the last decades. These researches focused mainly on the response of reinforced concrete beams at different reinforcement conditions and the size effects. On the other hand, the behavior of concrete plates or slabs has not been investigated clearly under pure and/or combined torsional loading. In the present study, nine reinforced concrete plates were prepared and tested under pure torsion. Effect of steel reinforcement ratio and size change was studied and they have a great effect on the plated strength, capacity, stiffness and ductility. As stated by torsion theories of reinforced concrete beams, the torsional strength of slabs was upgraded also with increasing in cross section and transverse reinforcement ratio

Energy harvesting for efficient 5G networks

The design of traditional mobile wireless network emphasises on large capacity as well as ubiquitous access. However, environmental protection and energy saving may soon become inevitable trends due to rising global demands. In the wireless networking field, researchers should shift their focus towards efficient networks and energy harvesting (EH). In this work, we consider energy efficiency and EH to address the issue of energy shortage, which also represents the ratio of the quantity of data that have been transferred to the dissipated energy within the system, simultaneously. The simulation-based mathematics signifies the relation between energy efficiency
