System Configuration Design of BIM Object-Oriented Database for Civil Engineering
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) creates tremendous value for civil engineering through information integration. Not only does it make the formulation of data storage strategies more important at the beginning of a civil ...
Freeform Skeletal Shape Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compliant mechanisms are elastic continua used to transmit or transform force and motion mechanically. The topology optimization methods developed for compliant mechanisms also give the shape for ...
Experimental and Numerical Study on Magnetorheological Fluids Based on Mixing Coated Magnetic Particles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Damage Detection Strategy Using Strain-Mode Residual Trends for Long-Span Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a damage detection strategy based on distributed strain responses measured by long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is investigated. First, the distributed strain modes of a system with multiple degrees ...
Prestressing Optimization and Local Reinforcement Design for a Mixed Externally and Internally Prestressed Precast Segmental Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The precast segmental construction is advantageous for rapid erection, high quality of concrete segments, and minimal disturbance to traffic. This paper compares two different tendon layouts of a segmental bridge erected ...
A Prototype of an Implantable Thermoelectric Generator for Permanent Power Supply to Body Inside a Medical Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Embedding a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in a biological body is a promising way to supply electronic power in the long term for an implantable medical device (IMD). It can resolve the service life mismatch between the ...
Gradient Chain Structure Model for Characterizing Frequency Dependence of Viscoelastic Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The frequency dependence modeling of viscoelastic (VE) materials faces the challenge of high modeling accuracy over a wide frequency range and double-objective optimization in model parameter identification. To address ...
Damage Identification of Pipeline Based on Ultrasonic Guided Wave and Wavelet Denoising
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Guided wave technology shows excellent capacity in the damage identification of the pipeline. In practical inspection, the detection ability is greatly reduced due to the interference echo signal from the feature structure ...
An Intelligent Fire Detection Algorithm and Sensor Optimization Strategy for Utility Tunnel Fires
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid development of utility tunnels, fire safety after construction is increasingly important, especially in the cable compartment. An intelligent fire detection method based on the particle swarm optimization ...
A Multiscale Bridging Material Parameter and Damage Inversion Algorithm from Macroscale to Mesoscale Based on Ant Colony Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The study of material failure phenomena with coupled multiple scales is a need and a challenge. The fundamental difficulty in these problems is due to multiscale bridging material parameters and damage, which ensure that ...
