Eliminating Temperature Effects in Damage Detection for Civil Infrastructure Using Time Series Analysis and Autoassociative Neural Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Temperature effects may mask the variation in structural properties or responses due to damage by causing equally or even larger changes in structures, resulting in false positive or false negative detections. These ...
New Solutions to Impulsive Correction for Argument of Perigee Using Gauss’s Variational Equations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides two new solutions to the energy-optimal impulsive correction for argument of perigee using Gauss’s variational equations (GVEs). A linear analytical approximation was derived by solving a cubic polynomial ...
Refined Bird Model Considering Soft and Skeletal Tissues for Bird Impact Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To more accurately characterize the load characteristics of birds under the impact of aviation structures, this study conducted computed tomography scanning of a 1-kg chicken and proposed a geometric model of the bird, ...
Predicting the Crest Settlement of Concrete Face Rockfill Dams by Combining Threshold Regression and Support Vector Machine
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The design and construction of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) usually require a rapid and accurate prediction of deformation behavior to support dam optimal design and safety evaluation. Deformation prediction and ...
