Closure to “Self‐Organizing Neural Network for Identification of Natural Modes” by Abhijit Mukherjee
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Self-Organizing Neural Network for Identification of Natural Modes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of artificial neural networks in civil engineering is gaining momentum. Most of the applications, however, use a feedforward network with a back-propagation algorithm. There is a variety of alternative ...
A Numerical Model for Electrical Properties of Self-Sensing Concrete with Carbon Fibers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Smart concrete is capable of self-assessing its state of stress and strain. It is produced by tailoring the electrical conductivity of concrete with the addition of conductive materials such as carbon fiber. This paper ...
Monitoring Corrosion in Oxide and Chloride Environments Using Ultrasonic Guided Waves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Ultrasonic guided waves have been used for monitoring progression of rebar corrosion in concrete in chloride and oxide environments. The effect of rates of corrosion in the two environments on the ultrasonic signals is ...
Experimental Study of Air-Water Interaction in Presence of Powdered Wax Inside Simulated Gas Distribution Channel of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Low temperature fuel cells such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells are being currently developed to run cars and buses. Water management in these fuel cells is a key issue that needs to ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigations on Confined Granular Systems Stabilized by Bacterial Cementation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bacterial cementation is a relatively new technology for stabilization of granular systems where cementation happens incrementally with repeated injection of the cementation fluid through the pores of the granular media. ...
Detection of Top-Bar Effect in Reinforced Concrete Using Guided Ultrasonic Waves
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An ultrasonic shear wave-based nondestructive method is proposed in this paper to detect steel–concrete interface debonding owing to the top-bar effect. A concrete wall was cast with horizontal reinforcements at different ...
Enhanced Ultrasonic Imaging in Concrete Structures with Spatial Apodization Filters
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ultrasonic wave–based imaging is a popular nondestructive tool used to inspect RC structures. The inherent heterogeneity of concrete poses a great challenge for imaging incipient damage to concrete. This paper presents an ...
Modeling Initial Design Process using Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The preliminary design model is of vital importance in the synthesis of a finally acceptable solution in a design problem. The initial design process is extremely difficult to computerize because it requires human intuition. ...
Microbial Concrete: Way to Enhance the Durability of Building Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Natural processes, such as weathering, faults, land subsidence, earthquakes, and human activities, create fractures and fissures in concrete structures that can reduce the service life of the structures. A novel strategy ...
