RISThe Influence of Fiber Orientation on the Equilibrium Properties of Neutral and Charged Biphasic Tissues
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Constitutive models facilitate investigation into load bearing mechanisms of biological tissues and may aid attempts to engineer tissue replacements. In soft tissue models, a commonly made assumption ...
An Argument for the Use of Multiple Segment Stents in Curved Arteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stenting of curved arteries is generally perceived to be more challenging than straight vessels. Conceptually implanting multiple shorter stents rather than a single longer stent into such a ...
A Quantitative Evaluation of Constrained-Layer Damping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The constrained-layer damping mechanisms on plates, beams, and tubular structures have been experimentally studied with well characterized viscoelastic materials. The Kerwin analysis [1] on plate ...
Buildings with Rigid Walls and Flexible Roof Diaphragms. I: Evaluation of Current U.S. Seismic Provisions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Buildings having rigid walls and flexible roof diaphragms (RWFD) are a type of building construction widely used for light industry in the United States; they incorporate rigid in-plane concrete or masonry walls and flexible ...
Buildings with Rigid Walls and Flexible Roof Diaphragms. II: Evaluation of a New Seismic Design Approach Based on Distributed Diaphragm Yielding
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A seismic collapse evaluation study of buildings with rigid walls and flexible roof diaphragms (RWFD) presented in the companion paper indicates that this type of structure, as designed to current seismic design provisions ...
Integrated Information Repository for Risk Assessment of Embankment Dams: Requirements Identification for Evaluating the Risk of Internal Erosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dams are continuing to age and deteriorate that affect the service life of the dams in the U.S. Risk assessment is required to understand the behavior of dams and to prioritize the remedial actions and maintenance, and yet ...

Distributed Yielding Concept for Improved Seismic Collapse Performance of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rigid wall-flexible diaphragm (RWFD) buildings are a common type of single-story construction in North America, Europe, and New Zealand that incorporate rigid in-plane concrete or masonry walls and flexible in-plane wood, ...
Comparison of Bacterial Bioluminescence with Activated Sludge Oxygen Uptake Rates during Zinc Toxic Shock Loads in a Wastewater Treatment System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of a bioengineered bioluminescent bacterium (Shk1) for monitoring zinc toxicity was evaluated with samples from a municipal activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and in a bench-scale activated sludge system. ...
