Evaluation of Seismic Slope Displacements Based on Fully Coupled Sliding Mass Analysis and NGA-West2 Database
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, two predictive models for seismic slope displacements are developed based on an equivalent-linear fully coupled sliding mass model and 3,714 ground-motion recordings selected from the Next Generation Attenuation ...
Material Characterization and Modeling of Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube/Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Nanocomposites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Strong single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) possess very high stiffness and strength. They have potential for use to tailor the material design to reach desired mechanical properties through SWNT ...
A Method for Measuring Linearly Viscoelastic Properties of Human Tympanic Membrane Using Nanoindentation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A viscoelastic nanoindentation technique was developed to measure both in-plane and through-thickness viscoelastic properties of human tympanic membrane (TM). For measurement of in-plane Young’s ...
Effect of High-Speed Shear Preparation Conditions on Asphalt Aging and Prevention of Asphalt Aging
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this research, to study the effect of a high-speed shearing method on asphalt aging, based on SK-70# matrix asphalt, the influences of the shear time, shear rate, shear temperature, shear ring, and air on asphalt aging ...
The Use of Ground-Based GPS Precipitable Water Measurements over China to Assess Radiosonde and ERA-Interim Moisture Trends and Errors from 1999 to 2015
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGlobal positioning system (GPS) data from over 260 ground-based permanent stations in China covering the period from 1 March 1999 to 30 April 2015 were used to estimate precipitable water (PW) above each site with ...
