RISExperimental and Numerical Studies of Debonding Monitoring of FRP Shear-Strengthened Beams Using EMI Technique
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is commonly used to strengthen or retrofit reinforced concrete (RC) structures. FRP debonding may initially occur around tiny cracks and then propagate to other parts of the structure, ...
Theoretical Investigation on the Heating Performance of a Recuperative Heat Pump Water Heater Using CO2/HCs With Large Temperature Glides in Cold Regions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Considering the issues of environmental pollution and energy efficiency, heat pumps are gradually replacing traditional coal combustion for heating at low ambient temperatures. In this paper, eco-friendly CO2/HCs with large ...
Experimental Evaluation on Low Global Warming Potential HFO-1336mzz-Z as an Alternative to HCFC-123 and HFC-245fa
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: HFO-1336mzz-Z with low global warming potential (GWP) was considered as a promising alternative of HCFC-123, HFC-245fa in air conditioning (AC) and heat pump (HP), respectively. In order to understand the operation ...
Development of a Hydraulic Driven Bionic Soft Gecko Toe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Geckos can climb freely on various types of surfaces using their flexible and adhesive toes. Gecko-inspired robots are capable of climbing on different surface conditions and have shown many important applications. ...
