The parametric study reveals that the load-carrying capacity is influenced by many factors including the rise-to-span ratio, slenderness ratio, loading cases and material properties.
In this study, the NL_Beam3D developed by Wu (2007) [5] is adopted to simulate the mechanical response of the CFST-CSW arch.
Apart from S/C ratio, grade of the in-filled concrete also affect the strength of the cross section.
It can be noted that slenderness of the arch is also an important factor for ultimate load.
But in practice, it should be determined by considering the economic factors.

Although these methods for surface treatment improved aramid/matrix interfacial properties, they often lead to negative effects on the damaging of the mechanical strength, elevated production cost and complicated work procedures.

Therefore, any possibility affording estimation of mechanical performance of a muscle, as an adaptive subsystem, is a matter of utmost importance.
The occurrence of fatigue within the muscle is usually stipulated by a majority of external and internal factors.
The relationship of maximum biosignal level 2Amax and loading duration under constant load in a) male and b) female age groups, 1 - F = 12 N, 2 - F = 18 N In reference [4] the analysis into the muscle's performance under constant force conditions has led to the generation of the following relationship applicable to biosignal energy: ∫= t dt R )t(U F )t(x 0 2 1 , when const)t(R = , ∫= t dt)t(U FR )t(x 0 21 , (1) where F is the force affecting the muscle ( const=F ); R stands for resistance of the muscle, U(t) is muscle biosignal intensity and t represents duration of the muscle loading.

This paper aims to investigate the electrical properties differences between PEDOT:PSS doped SNP-based films and hydrogels.
Therefore, this work aimed to compare the electrical properties of the prepared PEDOT:PSS films and hydrogels doped with different silver nanoparticles (SNP) contents by drop-casting and freeze-thaw methods, respectively.
The morphological properties of PEDOT:PSS incorporated with SNP were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), as shown in Figure 5.
This indicated the films mostly affect the electrical behaviour of PEDOT:PSS/SNP compared to hydrogels.
The findings are supported by the morphological properties of the films, which appears rough surface after adding SNP, thus believed to provide pathways for charges carrier in the material.

The researches had shown that the protect properties of the ceramic coating to the substrate material were closely related with its structure and phase composition, and essentially were dependent on the electrolyte composition, electrical parameter and other process conditions [4-6], of which voltage parameter was an important factor[7,8].
Discussion The micro-arc oxidation process includes two stages, that is initial oxidation film formation and ceramic coating growth, in which the thermochemistry, electrochemistry and plasmachemistry actions are direct effect factors to formation, growth of coating as well as morphology, structure of coating, just through these factors the voltage parameters affects micro-arc oxidation process.

Introduction Nanohardness (HIT) and elastic modulus (EIT) are among the most crucial mechanical properties in thin coating evaluation.
Hardness data may be strongly influenced by external and internal factors: deposition parametres, microstructure and residual stresses (σr) presented in thin coatings.
Obviously, thickness is among the most important parameter affecting the level of the intrinsic stresses [4].

The development of new low-cost alloys and a new low-cost process could be the key factor for the dissemination of this technology.
Thus, the viscosity is more strongly affected by the amount of liquid than by the silicon content.
The holding time in the semisolid range affects materials in different ways.
Table 3 lists the preliminary tensile properties of samples tested after reaching the desired semisolid temperature, i.e., without holding time or at the highest apparent viscosity.
Additional heat treatments, at T4 or T6 for instance, could improve the final mechanical properties and lead to greater elongation.
