Abstract: A fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) deck-to-girder connection was evaluated for fatigue resistance and residual capacity in the transverse direction. The connection consisted of three shear studs cast into a trapezoidal cell ...

Abstract: A critical review of three classic papers by B Hopkinson, RM Davies, and H Kolsky, and the state-of-the-art in Hopkinson bar experimental techniques is presented. The validity and applicability ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to describe and evaluate test methods developed to experimentally characterize the in situ mechanical behavior of solder ball arrays connecting printed wiring ...

Abstract: Discrete response of structures often is a key probabilistic quantity of interest. For example, one may need to identify the probability of a binary event, such as whether a structure has buckled. This study used an adaptive ...
