Application of Time Delay Absorber to Suppress Vibration of a Dynamical System to Tuned Excitation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, we present a comprehensive investigation of the time delay absorber effects on the control of a dynamical system represented by a cantilever beam subjected to tuned excitation forces. Cantilever beam is one ...
Fast Thermal Cycling of Acetanilide as a Storage Material for Solar Energy Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The melting temperature of acetanilide C8H9NO equals 116 آ°C which lies in the range of solar cooking (boiling cooking) of most kinds of food. Acetanilide was used in previous studies as a storage medium integrated within ...
An Al/Zr Based Clay Stabilizer for High pH Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Sandstone formations are exposed to a variety of high pH fluids, including: hydraulic fracturing using high pH borate gels, alkalinebased chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, waterbased drilling fluids, and cementing ...
Flexural Behavior of Continuous FRP-Reinforced Concrete Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuous concrete beams are commonly used elements in structures such as parking garages and overpasses, which might be exposed to extreme weather conditions and the application of deicing salts. The use of the ...
Effect of Transverse Reinforcement on the Flexural Behavior of Continuous Concrete Beams Reinforced with FRP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Continuous concrete beams are structural elements commonly used in structures that might be exposed to extreme weather conditions and the application of deicing salts, such as bridge overpasses and parking garages. In such ...
Effect of Shear Studs and High Moments on Punching Behavior of GFRP-RC Slab–Column Edge Connections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents test results of six full-scale glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforced concrete slab–column edge connections. The test connections included two series with three connections each. The connections ...
Innovative Repair of Severely Corroded T-Beams Using Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper offers an innovative technique for rehabilitation of severely corroded reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams using fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM). Eight RC T-beam specimens were constructed and tested ...
Creeping Flow of Phan-Thien–Tanner Fluids in a Peristaltic Tube With an Infinite Long Wavelength
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study both linearized and the exponential forms of the Phan-Thien–Tanner model (PTT) are used to simulate the peristaltic flow in a tube. The solutions are investigated under zero ...
Experimental Investigation of Adaptive Control Applied to HSFD Supported Rotors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the experimental application of adaptive control to Hybrid Squeeze Film Damper (HSFD) supported rotors. The HSFD has been shown to be an adaptive damper capable of providing ...
Near-Surface-Mounted Composite System for Repair and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Columns Subjected to Axial Load and Biaxial Bending
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of near-surface-mounted (NSM) glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rebars in combination with external confinement with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite ...
