Abstract: This review article summarizes the development of higher order theories for the dynamic analysis of piezoelectric plates, and describes their applications, especially for crystal resonators. The ...

Abstract: In China Railway Track System II, the bonding of a cement asphalt mortar (CA mortar) layer to concrete slabs is a decisive factor for its durability and serviceability. In this study, the interfacial bonding strength between ...

Abstract: A novel biaxial finite-element (FE) model is proposed and validated by a total of 32 reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls with aspect ratio below 1.5. First, a biaxial concrete model package, which was previously developed ...

Abstract: Two types of polymer latexes and one expansive agent were employed to investigate their effects on the resistance of cement asphalt (CA) pastes to sulfuric acid. Mercury intrusion porosimetry, a thermogravimetric analysis, ...

Abstract: A new triaxial constitutive model [Tsinghua University Concrete Three-dimensional (THUC3)] of concrete was developed for high-fidelity finite-element (FE) simulation of composite plate shear wall–concrete encased (C-PSW/CE), ...

Abstract: Four shear-critical RC shear walls were tested under a tension-bending-shear load to replicate seismic behavior of the bottom shear wall in high-rise buildings. The axial tension ratio ranged from 0 to 0.5 and the aspect ...
