RISCreeping Flow of Phan-Thien–Tanner Fluids in a Peristaltic Tube With an Infinite Long Wavelength
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study both linearized and the exponential forms of the Phan-Thien–Tanner model (PTT) are used to simulate the peristaltic flow in a tube. The solutions are investigated under zero ...
Process and Case Illustration of Construction Innovation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the major stages and component steps leading to the realization of the technical and commercial potential of a new construction technology. It encompasses a process of innovation and invention, which ...
Graphical Determination of Optimum Trajectories for Third-Order Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present paper explains the use of two phase planes in the graphical determination of optimum trajectories for third-order systems, depending on the sign of a single control function. The ...
Structural Data Analysis for Monitoring the Deformation of Oil Storage Tanks Using Geodetic Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The existence of circular tanks is a present reality in the modern day industry. These structures can play various types of functions for the storage of a wide range of products, such as liquids, gases, oil wastewater, and ...
New Method for Construction of Diaphragm Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Diaphragm walls are built to exclude earth and water from an area so that work may be performed under reasonably dry conditions. The range of applications for diaphragm walls includes earth-retaining and load-bearing walls ...

Improving the Failure Mode of Over-Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Strain-Hardening Cementitious Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Over-reinforced sections fail suddenly by compression concrete crushing when their ultimate compressive strain has been exceeded but the longitudinal reinforcement strain has not yielded. This study investigates the use ...
Mechanics of Random Discontinuous Long Fiber Thermoplastics—Part I: Generation and Characterization of Initial Geometry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The deformation mechanics of dry networks of largeaspectratio fibers with random orientation controls the processing of longfiber thermoplastics (LFTs) and greatly affects the mechanical properties of the final composites. ...
Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Triangular Shell Strip Footings on Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Shells entered into foundation engineering in the mid‐1950s in different parts of the world. Shell foundations have been used as an alternative to the conventional flat shallow foundations. They can be geometrically shaped ...
Environmental Considerations in the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide: Impacts on Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is a continuation of an earlier overview on the subject and presents the results of a sensitivity analysis that assessed the ability of the new design guide to portray the impact of temperature and moisture ...
