To address the buckling of flat steel plate webs in traditional concrete-filled steel plate composite coupling beams, this study proposes a novel composite coupling beam with axial rib corrugated webs. The corrugated plates provide greater out-of-plane stiffness compared to flat steel plates. Cyclic loading tests are conducted on specimens with a span-to-depth ratio of 1.

Purpose: Athletes face a higher risk of upper limb nerve entrapment due to repetitive stress, trauma, and biomechanics. Diagnosis is challenging, and delayed treatment can impair performance. When conservative care fails, surgery may be needed to restore function and enable return to play (RTP).

: This study explores how thoracic orientation affects lung pressure and injury outcomes from shock waves, building on earlier research that suggested human posture impacts injury severity. : A layered finite element model of the chest was constructed based on the Chinese Visual Human Dataset (CVH), including the rib and intercostal muscle layers. The dynamic response of the chest under 12 different angle-oriented shock waves under incident pressures of 200 kPa and 500 kPa was calculated.

To reveal the mechanical behavior and deformation patterns of geotechnical reinforcement materials under tensile loading, a series of tensile tests were conducted on plastic geogrid rib, fiberglass geogrid rib, gabion steel wire, plastic geogrid mesh, fiberglass geogrid mesh, and gabion mesh. The full tensile force-strain relationships of the reinforcement materials were obtained. The failure modes of different geotechnical reinforcement materials were discussed.
