Abstract: The economical and clean environment issues for a sustainable energy source at low temperature (LT) were considered and compared to natural gas technology as a fossil fuel source. The friendly environment refrigerants ...

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term sulfate resistance of green concrete with blended cement at different waste glass powder contents. The used cement was blended with 10%, 20%, 40%, and 60% of waste glass powder. ...

Abstract: The stress analysis in the deformation zone in upsetting of a workhardening material by half-cylindrical die is presented. The load and average pressure as a function of die stroke were ...

Abstract: Control of fluid-structure interaction is of practical importance from the perspective of wake modification and reduction of vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). The aim of this study is to design ...

Abstract: A perturbation technique, the method of multiple scales, is used to obtain an approximate analytical solution of the nonlinear dynamic response of foundations on soils. The analysis takes into account the nonlinearity of ...

Abstract: We present a new method for simulating squeeze-film damping of microplates actuated by large electrostatic loads. The method enables the prediction of the quality factors of microplates under a ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the structural retrofit of deteriorated reinforced concrete lighting poles using wet layup of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. The study comprised of four full-scale Class B damaged poles and ...

Abstract: General equations are presented for the determination of principal direction paths of each of the Lagrangian strain ellipsoid, Eulerian strain ellipsoid, strain rate, and Cauchy stress for uniform finite deformation of ...

Abstract: Classical isotropic hardening, nonlinear kinematic hardening, and a combined linear‐isotropic/nonlinear‐kinematic hardening theory are compared and contrasted with experimental results from nonproportional loading of ...
