RISDeterministic and Probabilistic Lifecycle Cost Assessment: Applications to Nebraska Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to utilize lifecycle cost analysis (LCCA) as a decision-support tool for three commonly encountered decisions in bridge management: bridge deck overlay decisions, expansion joint replacement ...
A Biphasic Transversely Isotropic Poroviscoelastic Model for the Unconfined Compression of Hydrated Soft Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The unconfined compression experiments are commonly used for characterizing the mechanical behavior of hydrated soft tissues such as articular cartilage. Several analytical constitutive models have been proposed over the ...

Response Analysis of Field-Scale Fully Grouted Standard Cable Bolts Using a Coupled ANN–FDM Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a coupled approach using an artificial neural network (ANN) and the finite difference method (FDM) that has been developed to predict the distribution of axial load along fully grouted standard cable ...
Propagation of Contractile-Induced Displacement in Prestressed Fibrous Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The interruption of cellular interactions in biological processes such as migration, differentiation, proliferation, and wound healing could lead to conditions such as fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, brain tumors, and cancer. ...
Numerical Model for Reinforced Soil Segmental Walls under Surcharge Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction and surcharge loading response of four full-scale reinforced-soil segmental retaining walls is simulated using the program FLAC. The numerical model implementation is described and constitutive models for ...

Mechanical Behavior of Hybrid Lattices Composed of Elastic and Elastoplastic Struts
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical behavior of cellular solids has been extensively studied in the literature. Nevertheless, possible structural effects of inhomogeneities in the form of elastoplastic struts have not yet been investigated. ...
Constitutive Modeling of Corneal Tissue: Influence of Three-Dimensional Collagen Fiber Microstructure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cornea, the transparent tissue in the front of the eye, along with the sclera, plays a vital role in protecting the inner structures of the eyeball. The precise shape and mechanical strength of this tissue are mostly ...
Concrete Structures: Penetration Depth Estimation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The predictability of the National Defense Research Council (NDRC) equations to estimate penetration depth in concrete structures has been reevaluated using the presently available test results on missiles similar to those ...
