Experimental and Theoretical Study of High-Energy Dissipation-Viscoelastic Dampers Based on Acrylate-Rubber Matrix
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Acrylate rubber molecules contain sterically hindered and highly polar ester groups, which can generate a large amount of internal friction energy under external alternating stress and exhibit high internal friction for ...
Cutting Tool Temperature Analysis in Heat-Pipe Assisted Composite Machining
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Machining of advanced materials, such as composite, encounters high cutting temperatures and rapid tool wear because of the abrasive nature of the reinforcement phases in the workpiece materials. ...
Effect of Surface Roughness on Single Cryogen Droplet Spreading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cryogen spray cooling is an auxiliary procedure to dermatologic laser surgery, which consists of precooling the superficial skin layer (epidermis) during laser irradiation of subsurface targets ...
Elasticity Imaging of Polymeric Media
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Viscoelastic properties of soft tissues and hydropolymers depend on the strength of molecular bonding forces connecting the polymer matrix and surrounding fluids. The basis for diagnostic imaging ...
Investigation of Fatigue Behavior of Steel and GFRP Double-Strap Joints under Varied Cyclic Loading at Given Temperatures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper examines the fatigue behavior of steel/glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) double-strap joints under a variation of cyclic shear loading at different given temperatures. Initial experiments were performed at ...
Uniaxial Eccentric-Compression Performance Analysis for Double-Plate Connected Concrete-Filled Steel-Tube Composite Columns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, five double-plate connected concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) composite columns were tested under a uniaxial eccentric compressive load. The test phenomena, load–axial displacement curves, strain analyses, ...
Back-Calculation of Elastic Modulus of High Liquid Limit Clay Subgrades Based on Viscoelastic Theory and Multipopulation Genetic Algorithm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents a new model for modulus back-calculation for high liquid limit clay subgrades. In this model, the viscoelasticity theory is employed to describe the displacement hysteresis, and the multipopulation ...
Influence of Waste Coral Powder on the Properties of Alkali-Activated Slag Cement Prepared with Seawater
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, alkali-activated materials (AAMs) were prepared combining waste coral powder (CP) and blast furnace slag (BFS) as precursors, artificial seawater and deionized water as mixing water, and blends of NaOH and ...
Study on the Smoke Characteristics of a Cable Fire in an L-Shaped Utility Tunnel under Different Ventilation Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Cable fires frequently occur in utility tunnels, causing incalculable economic losses. In order to reveal the smoke characteristics of an L-shaped utility tunnel cable fire under different ventilation conditions, the ...
From Neighborhood Life Circles to Commuting Life Circles: Insights into the Job–Housing Imbalance in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Global disparities in housing and job availability pose a serious threat to urban sustainable development. This study presents a new concept of a 15-min commuting life circle, which is based on four job categories and four ...
