RISDNS of Drag-Reducing Turbulent Channel Flow With Coexisting Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluid
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the present study, we numerically investigated drag-reducing turbulent channel flows by surfactant additives. Surfactant additives were assumed to be uniformly distributed in the entire flow ...
Hysteretic Model for Shear-Critical Reinforced Concrete Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Modified Generalized Predictive Control of Networked Systems With Application to a Hydraulic Position Control System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the design of networked control systems using the modified generalized predictive control (M-GPC) method. Both sensor-to-controller (S-C) and controller-to-actuator (C-A) ...
Swirling Flow of a Viscoelastic Fluid With Free Surface—Part II: Numerical Analysis With Extended Marker-and-Cell Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In Part I [, 2004, 2004 ASME Int. Mech. Eng. Conference ], we presented the experimental results for swirling flows of water and cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) surfactant solution in ...
Incorporated Strength Capacity Technique for Limit Load Evaluation of Trusses and Framed Structures under Constant Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To overcome the difficulties encountered by the elastic modulus adjustment procedures applied to the ultimate bearing capacity analysis of framed structures under combined action of both constant and varying live loads, ...
Centrifugal and Numerical Modeling of a Reinforced Lime-Stabilized Soil Embankment on Soft Clay with Wick Drains
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A centrifuge test was performed on a reinforced embankment backfilled with lime-stabilized soil on soft clay installed with wick drains. The finite-element program PLAXIS was employed to simulate the centrifuge test on the ...
Probabilistic Calibration for Shear Strength Models of Reinforced Concrete Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A probabilistic calibration method is proposed for evaluating the accuracy and applicability of available deterministic models for the shear strength of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Shear mechanisms of ...

Abstract: A probabilistic calibration method is proposed for evaluating the accuracy and applicability of available deterministic models for the shear strength of shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns. Shear mechanisms of ...
Probabilistic Calibration of Compressive Stress–Strain Models for FRP-Confined Concrete in Square Cross Section Members
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The confinement effect of concrete by fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets may significantly enhance the axial compressive performance of concrete, although the results are variable. Therefore, rational calibration of ...
Probabilistic Calibration of Stress-Strain Models for Confined Normal-Strength Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A probabilistic calibration for traditional deterministic stress-strain models of square confined concrete columns was conducted based on the proposed probabilistic stress-strain model and a large number of experimental ...
