RISFlexural Design of Reinforced Concrete Frames by Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A genetic algorithm is used to perform the discrete optimization of reinforced concrete plane frames subject to combinations of gravity loads and lateral loads. Difficulties in finding optimum sections from a semi-infinite ...
Mechanical Behavior in the Silicon Carbide Reinforced Aluminum 6061 Composites Degraded by Room or High Temperature 3.5% NaCl Solution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical properties of silicon carbide particle reinforced aluminum alloy 6061 composites with 5% and 10% (SiCp/Al) as well as aluminum alloy 6061 (AA6061) degraded by neutral 3.5% NaCl solution ...
Design Heuristic for Globally Minimum Cost Water-Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two standard test problems that are nonconvex with multiple local minima are considered. An outer flow search–inner optimization procedure is proposed for choosing better local minima. Each pipe network is judiciously ...

Experimental Evaluation of Strength Characteristics of Stabilized Dredged Soil
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A composite geomaterial (CGM) is developed using dredged soil, bottom ash, cement and air foam. The engineering properties of the CGM are characterized as a function of the content of the various admixtures and the curing ...
Model Identification of a Rotor With Magnetic Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The experimental identification of a long flexible rotor with three magnetic bearing journals is presented. Frequency response functions are measured between the magnetic bearing journals and the ...
