Abstract: The conventional Modal Strain Energy method (MSE is briefly discussed. Several indices are proposed to characterize a viscoelastically damped system. An Overall Error Index is proposed to assess ...

Abstract: While a lot of attention was given to shock wave reflections from wedges during the past four decades, only little work was published regarding the similar case of blast wave reflection from ...

Abstract: The paper reports on the erosion resistance of two types of hydraulic concrete, a plain concrete and a concrete reinforced with a low volume of steel fibers. Flow velocities ranged up to

Abstract: Conventional visual and manual pavement cracking analysis approaches are very costly, time-consuming, dangerous, labor-intensive, and subjective. They possess various drawbacks such as having a high degree of variability, ...
