RISNew Avenue of Achieving Ductility for Reinforced Concrete Members
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The flexural deformation of structural members is due to their curvature. For reinforced concrete (RC) members, this curvature depends on the tensile strain of the reinforcement and the compressive strain of the concrete. ...
A Transfer Matrix Technique for Evaluating the Natural Frequencies and Critical Speeds of a Rotor With Multiple Flexible Disks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The influence of disk flexibility on the rotordynamical behavior of turbomachinery is a topic that is of some concern to designers and analysts of such equipment. Research in this area has ...
Extended Kirchhoff Integral Formulations for Sound Radiation from Vibrating Cylinders in Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents numerical results of sound radiation from vibrating cylinders in rectilinear motion at constant subsonic speeds by using the extended Kirchhoff integral formulations recently ...
Simulation of Vehicle Pass-by Noise Radiation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an extended Kirchhoff integral formulation for predicting sound radiation from an arbitrarily shaped vibrating structure moving along an infinite baffle. In deriving this ...
Viscosity Effects on the Radiation Hydrodynamics of Horizontal Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of a body oscillating in a viscous fluid with a free surface is examined. The Navier-Stokes equations and boundary conditions are linearized using the assumption of small body-motion ...
Flexural and Shear Strength of Composite Lintels in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Gypsum Wall Constructions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Composite lintels are formed above the door and window openings of glass-fiber-reinforced gypsum (GFRG) wall constructions. These lintels are constructed by filling reinforced concrete into the hollow cores of the GFRG ...
Conceptual Design of an Advanced Water/Steam Receiver for a Solar Thermal Central Power System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the conceptual design of an advanced water/steam receiver for a commercial-scale solar central receiver thermal power system. The objective was to develop a receiver concept ...
Design and Testing of a Cavity-Type, Steam-Generating, Central Receiver for a Solar Thermal Power Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper focuses on the design and operating aspects of a 10-MWe cavity-type, natural-circulation, steam-generating receiver for a central-receiver thermal power plant. The development of the ...
Improving the Strength and Ductility of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Columns through Composite Partial Interaction: Tests
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new structural approach that uses composite partial interaction to improve the strength and ductility of rectangular reinforced concrete columns has been studied experimentally. By increasing the compressive resistance ...
Probabilistic Analysis of Fatigue Crack Propagation Under Random Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to predict the fatigue crack growth curve under random loading, an analytical model is proposed in this paper. In addition to the mean crack growth curve, the model also considers ...
