Abstract: Toupin’s Theorem plays the most influential role in the history of development concerning Saint-Venant’s Principle. We now review the history and the previous works, distinguishing Saint-Venant ...

Abstract: A closed-form analytical solution to thermoelastic bending problems of multilayered beams is obtained by an alternative two-variable method. There are only two unknowns to be solved and two ...

Abstract: A thin strip cross-sectional element is used to suppress vortex shedding from a plate with a width to thickness ratio of 4.0 at incidence angles in the range of 0–90 deg and a Reynolds ...

Abstract: In this paper the so-called slightly reduced Navier-Stokes (SRNS) equations with most streamwise viscous diffusion and heat conduction terms are investigated in detail. It is proved that the ...

Abstract: This paper primarily introduces a new lateral isolation system proposed for the seismic control of a long-span cable-stayed bridge, namely, the Yongning Yellow River Bridge, with high seismic activity and a heavyweight ...

Abstract: The recent development of the seismic pounding effect between adjacent bridge decks and falling-off measures were introduced in this paper. Firstly, the computing theories and analytical methods of contact-pounding between ...

Abstract: One-dimensional viscous behavior of clay was evaluated by performing drained one-dimensional compression tests, and drained triaxial compression tests. In both types of tests, the strain rate was changed stepwise many times ...

Abstract: This paper presents a passive control device—multidirectional cable restrainer (MDCR)—and develops the fragility curves of a curved bridge with and without MDCR, respectively. Three-dimensional finite-element models with ...

Abstract: This study explored an optimal intensity measure for probabilistic seismic demand models of multiple components in cable-stayed bridges subjected to pulse-like ground motions. To achieve this goal, this study selected a ...
