Constitutive Description of Temperature-Dependent Nonproportional Cyclic Viscoplasticity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the constitutive modeling of the temperature history dependent behavior of metallic materials under uniaxial and nonproportional cyclic loadings. In the study, a class ...
Unified Modeling of Interface between Structured Clay or Crushable Sand and Structure
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a unified elastoplastic model for describing both monotonic and cyclic behaviors of natural structured clay–structure and crushable sand–structure interfaces based on the bounding ...
Adhesion between Modified Binders and Aggregate Minerals at Ambient Conditions Measured with Particle-Probe Scanning Force Microscopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate determination of adhesion between asphalt binders and aggregates is essential to pavement performance. In this study, particle-probe scanning force microscopes were used to measure the adhesion between mineral ...
When to Charge a Small-Range Battery Electric Vehicle: Refining Charging Strategies Using a Scenario-Based Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Small-range battery electric vehicles (BEVs), with driving ranges less than 200 km, are susceptible to charging defects. This study applied a scenario-based approach by modeling a cost function to recommend an optimal ...
Research on Collapse Mechanism and Failure Criterion of Superlarge Cooling Tower under Downburst Effect
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The world’s highest cooling tower (228 m), which is under construction in Northwest China, was chosen to study the response characteristics and collapse mechanism of a superlarge cooling tower under the downburst ...
Regulation of Planting Structure Considering Irrigation Water, Carbon Emission, and Grain Security in the Yellow River Basin, China, by Using Multisource Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Grain security is the foundation for national stability and prosperity. In China, grain production depends heavily on irrigation water, direct energy for machinery use, and indirect energy (such as fertilizers, pesticides, ...
Conceptual Framework for Assessing the Impact of Green Practices on Collaborative Work in China’s Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In recent years, green building has drawn the attention of both academics and practitioners and experienced rapid growth. In order to achieve the concept of sustainable development in the project life cycle of green building, ...
Study of Flow in a Blanket Clarifier Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work simulated the flow pattern of the sludge blanket clarifier at the Bansin Water Treatment Plant, Taiwan by multiphase flow, three-dimensional analysis. The following three models were developed individually: ...
Physics-Informed Multifidelity Residual Neural Networks for Hydromechanical Modeling of Granular Soils and Foundation Considering Internal Erosion
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Coupled hydromechanical finite-element modeling of granular soils, taking into account internal erosion, is computationally prohibitive. Alternative data-driven approaches require large data sets for training and often ...
Dynamic Energy Evolution Mechanism and Viscoelastic Damage Constitutive Model of Frozen Soil under High Strain Rates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the dynamic energy evolution mechanisms and failure behaviors of frozen soil subjected to impact loading. A split Hopkinson pressure bar was utilized to perform impact compression tests on frozen ...
