Abstract: Next-generation lithium ion batteries are expected to demonstrate superior energy and power density with longer cycle life for successful electrification of the automobile, aviation, and marine industries. Adoption of ...

Abstract: The thermal and mechanical properties of coarse aggregates, cement mortar, and cement concrete specimens of varying mix proportions were studied after exposure to a range of high temperatures. For the tests, 70.6-mm mortar ...

Abstract: To quantify the global damageability of a structure, the weighted‐average function defined in terms of damage condition and the importance or weightages of structural elements has generally been used in literature. Judgment ...

Abstract: Damage detection by measuring and analyzing vibration signals in a machine component is an established procedure in mechanical and aerospace engineering. This paper presents vibration signature analysis of steel bridge ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of the particle packing method (PPM) of mix design on the fracture behavior of concrete. A three-point bending (TPB) test was performed on single-edge notched beam for three different sizes. ...

Abstract: The conventional definition of redundancy is applicable to skeletal structural systems only, whereas the concept of redundancy has never been discussed in the context of a continuum. Generally, structures in civil engineering ...
