RISDeformation Gradient-Based Remedy for Mesh Objective Three-Dimensional Interlocking Mechanism
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interlocking over cracked surfaces is one of the primary sources of the shear force–resisting mechanism of general reinforced concrete structures. From the interlocking, shear stress develops in a substantially complex way ...
Characterizing Permeable-Pavement System Water Flow Using the Cumulative Hydrograph Model Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Increased runoff rates on paved surfaces pose safety risks to city residents. Therefore, research on permeable pavement, with the goal of reducing runoff, has been growing in popularity. This study uses experimental and ...
Experimental and Numerical Evaluations on the Shape Factor of Silicone Sealant for Concrete Pavements under Vertical Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Silicones have been used on a large scale as sealant materials for pavement joints. Besides the fundamental advantages of sealants, several problems remain concerning failures such as fall-down, material failure, and ...
The Estimation of Base Temperature for Heating and Cooling Degree-Days for South Korea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n South Korea, heating degree-days (HDD) and cooling degree-days (CDD) have been widely used as climatic indicators for the assessment of the impact of climate change, but arbitrary or customary base temperatures have been ...
Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of an Electrical Helmholtz Resonator for Active Control of Resonant Noise
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a theoretical and experimental investigation into an electrical Helmholtz resonator (EHR): that is, an active noise control (ANC) loudspeaker used in conjunction with a microphone and a feedback ...
Evaluation of the Load Dissipation Behavior of Concrete Block Pavements with Various Block Shapes and Construction Patterns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In concrete block pavement, individual blocks are laid in a predetermined pattern to create a surface interlocked with joint filler that has some discontinuities rather than continuous paving. The overall structural stability ...
Multiple Inputs-Single Accumulated Output Mechanism for Soft Linear Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft linear actuators (SLAs) such as shape memory alloy (SMA) wires, pneumatic soft actuators, dielectric elastomer actuator, and twisted and coiled soft actuator (TCA) called artificial muscle actuators in general, have ...
Development and Validation of an Operational Search and Rescue Modeling System for the Yellow Sea and the East and South China Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n operational search and rescue (SAR) modeling system was developed to forecast the tracks of victims or debris from marine accidents in the marginal seas of the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The system is directly linked ...
Sliding Filament Joint Mechanism: Biomimetic Artificial Joint Mechanism for Artificial Skeletal Muscles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft linear actuators (SLAs) make linear displacement by shrinkage and relaxation like skeletal muscles, so they can be called as artificial skeletal muscles (ASMs). They deform their body to create displacement. However, ...
