The Impact Energy of a Moored Tanker Under the Action of Regular Waves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence that factors such as mooring line conditions, fender arrangements, dolphin arrangements, degree of ship loading, waves of long period, wave direction, and wind on the impact energy ...
The Action of Irregular Waves on Ships Moored on Terminals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of ships moored at the offshore terminals under the action of wind waves, the moored ship system may be simplified to be linear. Introducing ...
Acoustic Black Holes in a Spinning Beam
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Through creating slow waves in structures, acoustic black hole (ABH) shows promise for potential vibration control applications. However, it remains unclear whether such phenomena can still occur in a structure undergoing ...
Alkali-Activated Ground-Granulated Blast Furnace Slag for Stabilization of Marine Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigated the stabilization efficacy of alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for a marine soft clay, compared with that of portland cement (PC). The influence of activators, including NaOH,
Characterization of Nonplanar Second Harmonic Lamb Waves With a Refined Nonlinear Parameter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) methods based on the cumulative second harmonic Lamb waves show attractive advantages. An ideal nonlinear parameter should allow precise characterization of the cumulative effects of the ...
Wave Energy Focalization in a Plate With Imperfect Two Dimensional Acoustic Black Hole Indentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The acoustic black hole (ABH) phenomenon in thinwalled structures with a tailored powerlawprofiled thickness allows for a gradual change of the phase velocity of flexural waves and energy focalization. However, ideal ABH ...
Monitoring of Near-Surface Winds and Wind Pressures on an Instrumented Low-Rise Building during Super Typhoon Rammasun
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents the results of observed near-surface winds and wind-induced pressures on the gable roof of an instrumented low-rise building. The observations were made during the strongest typhoon to make landfall in ...
Experimental Studies on Cyclic Behavior of Corrugated Steel Plate Shear Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Corrugated steel plate shear wall (CoSPSW) is a lateral load–resisting system in which corrugated infill steel wall panels are embedded inside a steel boundary frame. Compared to flat steel plate shear walls (SPSWs), elastic ...
Reliability Assessment of Tunnel Based on P-Wave Seismic Velocity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to propose a new method to analyze the stability of a tunnel using P-wave seismic velocity (Vp) with the help of the Tunnel Seismic Prediction 23 plus system (TSP23PLUS). On one hand, the relationship between ...
An Asphalt Pavement Performance Evaluation Model Based on Deflection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An asphalt pavement performance evaluation model based on deflection is established by combining the subjective deflection weight obtained from the improved analytic hierarchy process and the objective deflection weight ...
