Review of <i>Deployable structures: Analysis and design</i> by C. J. Gantes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Failure Mechanisms and Deployment Accuracy of Elastic-Memory Composites
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic-memory composites (EMCs) is a class of polymeric composites that can be folded into a very compact shape and later deployed to the original shape upon reheating. They have significant potential in developing large ...
Design of Composite Surrogate Mirror Support Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three multimaterial support structures were designed and built to support 200 mm (8 in.) diameter “surrogate” mirrors for the deployable optical telescope (DOT) ground experiment at the Air Force Research Laboratory ...
Fracture Analysis of FRP Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon/epoxy FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) rebars were produced with the pultrusion technique. Concrete beams reinforced with these rebars were subjected to static and cyclic 3-point bending. Flexural cracking is arrested ...
Performance of Nondestructive Parallel Seismic Testing Method in Determining Depth of Shallow Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Parallel Seismic (PS) is considered a versatile method capable of determining the specifications of unknown bridge foundations made of common materials such as wood, steel, and reinforced concrete. Although many studies ...
Effect of Source Application on Sonic Echo/Impulse Response Tests Applied to Steel H-Piles
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The sonic echo/impulse response (SE/IR) method is a versatile nondestructive method for evaluating the conditions of unknown bridge foundations. Previous studies have shown that the method has satisfactory performance in ...
