Abstract Vulcanizates from scrap tires have interesting mechanical properties that widen the range of their uses. These properties and dynamic characteristics (compression modulus, damping coefficient) undergo great changes as sulfur percentage is varied. This fact is particularly important in regard to the design of damping devices for the vibration absorption of industrial machines. The size of the machine as well as the vibration frequency must be taken into account to optimize the transmissibility factor of the damped system. The favorable results obtained for our materials in the damping of impact noises and their small compressibility foreshadow an efficient application in resilient coverings in buildings. Rubber slabs when stuck directly on the floor can be covered with a thin coating consisting, for instance, of thin tiles. The resilient covering can also be stuck on the floor and covered with lean mortar, a traditional way of laying tile.

Abstract Recent developments in injection grouts used for consolidation are proposed. Special compositious have been developed, made out of lime, cement and pozzolan. The stability, the viscosity and the mechanical properties are illustrated. Comparison is made with polymer grouts and with double injections using mineral and polymer grouts consequently. The influence of injections on the load-bearing capacity of the masonry is calculated. Some elements for the judgment of the safety and reliability of masonry structures are pointed out.

External electric leads, soldered into plated through-holes (PTHs) of printed circuit boards (PCBs), provide, in addition to electrical interconnection, mechanical support for heavy electronic components (such as, say, power ones) mounted on the boards. The leads can possibly break (most likely by fatigue), if the PCB support contour is subjected to excessive oscillations. Such oscillations typically occur at the lowest resonant frequency (fundamental frequency). The ability to predict this frequency and possibly avoid resonance conditions is of obvious practical importance. Accordingly, in this analysis, we develop a simple formula for the evaluation of the fundamental vibration frequency of a heavy electronic component mounted on a PCB. The formula is obtained for the case, when the component has only one row of leads, and the vibrations occur in the direction of the least flexural rigidity of this row. [S1043-7398(00)00601-0]
