Abstract: An alternative analysis technique, which does not require eigensolutions as a priori, for the dynamic response solutions, in terms of the transfer function, of one-dimensional distributed parameter ...

Abstract: A threedimensional (3D) method of analysis is presented for determining the free vibration frequencies of clamped, complete (not truncated) conical shells of revolution in which the bottom edges are normal to the midsurface ...

Abstract: The lack of fall protection has been the most frequently cited Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard in the US construction industry. This article investigates the use of fall protection in the US ...

Abstract: One series of five composite joints with welded connections was tested and the influences of joint type, slab thickness, and number of shear studs were studied. Welded unreinforced flange with bolt web and reduced beam ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental investigation on the resistance and failure mode of four precast concrete frames. Each frame comprised a middle beam-column joint, a double-span beam, and two side columns. Two parameters, ...

Abstract: A survey of current literature has revealed that the testing protocol for determining the time of setting of fly ash–soil mixtures is not available. Although the current ASTM standard recommends using the Vicat needle ...

Abstract: It is well-known that nonuniform tip clearance in an axial compressor induces pressure and velocity perturbations along the circumferential direction. This study develops a numerical modeling to ...
