Abstract: Transverse shear failures of reinforced concrete plates and shells are analyzed using a layered shell element that has been modified to more accurately model shear behavior. The transverse shear stress distribution through ...

Abstract: It is well known that concrete will fail in the form of cracking or crushing for the uniaxial tension or compression. However, it would be difficult to classify and define precisely the failure form for the multiaxial ...

Abstract: A collision-avoidance (CA) algorithm is developed and implemented that is applicable to many different unmanned aerial systems (UAS), ranging from a single platform with the ability to perform all collision-avoidance ...

Abstract: Resonance inspection uses the natural acoustic resonances of a part to identify anomalous parts. Modern instrumentation can measure the many resonant frequencies rapidly and accurately. Sophisticated ...

Abstract: The behavior of concrete confined with carbon and glass fiber wraps is determined by uniaxial compression tests of filament wound composite cylinders filled with concrete. Experimental variables include concrete strength, ...
