RISTheoretical and Experimental Identification of Clearance Nonlinearities for a Continuum Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Clearance is unavoidable in many engineering structures due to the manufacturing and installation errors. These clearances can cause intense impact and wear of the contacting pairs, which may change the dynamic response ...
Shear-Strength Capacity Assessment of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Beam-column joints are regions of high inelastic stress concentration in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. Evidence of the vulnerability of the joints to damage during earthquakes is witnessed in panel zone failures. Corrosion ...
Performance of Precast Concrete Substructures with Dry Connections to Resist Progressive Collapse
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the current study, three one-third scaled beam-slab substructures comprising a cast-in-place reinforced concrete specimen and two precast concrete (PC) specimens were tested under a pushdown loading regime to investigate ...
Overdischarge Detection and Prevention With Temperature Monitoring of Li-Ion Batteries and Linear Regression-Based Machine Learning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work focuses on the use of linear regression analysis-based machine learning for the prediction of the end of discharge of a prismatic Li-ion cell. The cell temperature was recorded during the cycling of Li-ion cells ...
A New Risk Assessment Model to Check Safety Threats to Long-Distance Pipelines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With the number of long-distance pipelines increasing in China, risk management has become important for controlling pipeline leakage. However, all the current assessment technologies are semiquantitative and do not include ...
Simplified Analytical Models to Predict Low-Velocity Impact Response of RC Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nowadays, evaluation of the impact resistance of structures is receiving immense attention among engineers and researchers because of the increase in accidental and/or malicious incidents around the world. Although numerous ...
Seismic Performance Assessment of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Short Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study carried out on eight full-scale uncorroded and corroded reinforced concrete short columns subjected to the simulated seismic loading to investigate effects of corrosion on the ...
Risk Management Model for International Construction Joint Ventures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The current Asian financial crisis has put the role of risk management in the construction business into focus. For firms engaging in the international construction business, one of the most effective means of mitigating ...
Finite Element Model Updating of Machine Tool Spindle Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The unknown joint dynamics are the main obstacle that limits the accuracy of the finite element (FE) model of a machinetool spindle assembly. In this paper, an FE model updating method is proposed to assist industrial ...
Mobility Analysis of Symmetric Deployable Mechanisms Involved in a Coplanar 2 Twist Screw System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, an intuitive approach for the mobility analysis of deployable mechanisms involved in a special screw system with two coplanar twist vectors is proposed. First, the coplanar screw system with a pair of ...
