Abstract: In rotating beams, the Coriolis force acts through the mass and rotary inertias of the beam. A rotating beam simply supported off the axis of rotation is used as an example to study effects ...

Abstract: If an acoustic system has one or more large dimensions compared to the shortest wave length of interest, the pressure responses which are necessary to formulate four pole parameters have to ...

Abstract: A complex variable description of planar motion incorporates directivity as inherent information which is therefore very convenient in vibration analysis of rotors. This paper proposes to use the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the flexure of concrete beams prestressed with aramid fiber-reinforced polymer (AFRP) tendons. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element analysis and iterative sectional analysis are conducted to predict ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to estimate the determinants of rental-housing demand for three types of cities in Korea. The study focuses on the statistical estimation issues encountered in calibrating rental-housing demand: ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results on the demand survey obtained from owner–operator truck drivers for their willingness to use truck-only toll lanes on Southern California freeways. The stated preference survey method was ...

Abstract: This paper studies wave propagation in strings with rigid bodies using the method of transfer matrices. The transmission property of a single rigid body is investigated. It is found that when ...

Abstract: The effects of streamwise convex curvature, recovery, and free-stream turbulence intensity on the turbulent transport of heat and momentum in a mature turbulent boundary layer are investigated. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the effects of instantaneous live load on the performance of partially cracked axial concrete members (representing on-site damage) subjected to cold region environments. A total of 5,289 constructed ...
