Abstract: The response and reliability of a linear secondary system attached to a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom yielding primary structure under white‐noise or filtered white‐noise excitations are studied by using equivalent linearization ...

Abstract: A graded binary titanium-nickel alloy with a compositional gradient, from elemental Ti to Ti–23.2 at. % Ni, has been successfully deposited using laser rapid forming. A metallurgical study of ...

Abstract: The wear of a blast furnace hearth and the hearth inner profile are highly dependent on the liquid iron flow pattern, refractory temperatures, and temperature distributions at the hot face. ...

Abstract: In this study, a prescriptive seismic design procedure for post-tensioned mass timber rocking wall lateral force–resisting systems is proposed. Unlike performance-based design approaches that employ nonlinear analysis, ...

Abstract: The construction of infrastructure in coastal areas requires stabilizers to improve the characteristics of weak cohesionless geomaterials. Ordinary portland cement (OPC) is typically used to improve these geomaterials and ...

Abstract: The Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring mission will observe the Earth’s emitted outgoing radiation spectrum across the far-infrared with high spectral resolution and accuracy from space for the ...
