RISCrack Identification in Thin Plates With Anisotropic Damage Model and Vibration Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Many approaches on modeling of cracks in structural members have been reported in the literatures. However, most of them are explicitly developed for the purpose of studying the changes in ...
Delamination Detection-Oriented Finite Element Model for a Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bonded Concrete Plate and Its Application With Vibration Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Delamination is a common type of damage in laminated fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. As FRP composites are becoming popular in upgrading and strengthening of civil concrete structures, ...
Sensitivity of Uniform Load Surface Curvature for Damage Identification in Plate Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper a new sensitivity-based method of using measured modal parameters to locate and quantify damage is developed for plate-like structures. With the measured incomplete modal data for ...
Use of Coefficients of Influence to Solve Some Inverse Problems in Plane Elasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The principle of superposition of the order of isochromatic fringes and the concept of the coefficient of influence of the order of those fringes are introduced. The method is proposed to ...
Biodegradation of Chlorinated Solvents in Bioreactor Landfills
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this research is to investigate the intrinsic biodegradation potential of the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill ecosystem for chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). The research was conducted in two ...
A Theoretical Model of Uniform Flow Distribution for the Admission of High-Energy Fluids to a Surface Steam Condenser
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical study is made of the perforated pipe distributor for the admission of high-energy fluids to a surface steam condenser. The results show that for all perforated pipes there is a ...
Analysis of a Pressure-Compensated Flow Control Valve
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A pressure-compensated valve (PC valve) is a type of flow control device that is a combination of a control orifice and a compensator (often called a hydrostat). The compensator orifice modulates ...
Large Axisymmetric Deformations of Elastic/Plastic Perforated Circular Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical model of axisymmetric elastic/plastic perforated circular plate bending and stretching is developed which accounts for through thickness yielding, through thickness variations in ...
Comparison of Seismic Performance of a RC Frame Building before and after the Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Wenchuan earthquake that occurred in China in 2008 caused extensive damage and loss of life and property. Comparison of the vulnerabilities between former and current reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures after the ...
Estimation of Disk Burst Pressures Using Limit Analysis Collapse Loads
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Jones and Holliday 1 recently reported simulations of clamped circular disks employing a continuum finite element method and elastic/plastic material models. An interesting conclusion of that work ...
