ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE AXIAL STIFFNESS OF FIBER-REINFORCED ELASTOMERIC ISOLATORS (FREIS) UNDER COMBINED AXIAL AND SHEAR LOADS

Analytical and Numerical Study of the Axial Stiffness of Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (FREIs) under Combined Axial and Shear Loads

Fiber-reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are rubber-based seismic devices introduced as a low-cost alternative to steel-reinforced elastomeric isolators (SREIs).They are generally used in unbonded applications, i.e., Clear Glass Can friction is used to transfer the lateral loads from the upper to the lower structure.Under combined axial and s

Multiple Activities Associated with the Capsid Protein of Satellite Panicum Mosaic Virus Are Controlled Separately by the N- and C-Terminal Regions

The 17-kDa capsid protein (CP) of satellite panicum mosaic virus (SPMV) contains a distinct N-terminal arginine-rich motif (N-ARM) which is required for SPMV virion assembly and the activity of SPMV CP to promote systemic accumulation of its cognate RNA.The present study indicates that SPMV CP also is involved in SPMV RNA accumulation in inoculated
