Correspondence Relations Between Deflection, Buckling Load, and Frequencies of Thin Functionally Graded Material Plates and Those of Corresponding Homogeneous Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Based on the classical plate theory (CPT), we derive scaling factors between solutions of bending, buckling and free vibration of isotropic functionally graded material (FGM) thin plates and those of the corresponding ...
Consolidation Considering Clogging Effect under Uneven Strain Assumption
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In land reclamation projects, the vacuum preloading method has been widely used to strengthen dredged fills by removing water. However, during the improvement process, clogging inevitably occurs in the drains and soils, ...
Fatigue Deformation Model of Plain and Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Based on Weibull Function
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel model based on the three-parameter Weibull function is proposed to describe the three-stage fatigue deformation behavior of plain and fiber-reinforced concrete. The fatigue strain at a particular stress between ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Performance of Suction Buckets Subjected to Extreme Cyclic Tensile Loading in Sand
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Suction bucket jackets offer a promising foundation solution for offshore wind turbines. However, extreme cyclic tensile loading can be a significant design challenge, particularly with respect to the potential for accumulated ...
The Effect of Nanotube Waviness and Agglomeration on the Elastic Property of Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Owing to their superior mechanical and physical properties, carbon nanotubes seem to hold a great promise as an ideal reinforcing material for composites of high-strength and low-density. In ...
Thermal Conductivity Measurements of Nylon 11-Carbon Nanofiber Nanocomposites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were incorporated into nylon 11 to form nylon 11-carbon nanofiber nanocomposites via twin screw extrusion. Injection molding has been employed to fabricate specimens that ...
Thermal Conductivity Measurement of Graphene Exfoliated on Silicon Dioxide
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We have developed a nanofabricated resistance thermometer device to measure the thermal conductivity of graphene monolayers exfoliated onto silicon dioxide. The measurement results show that the ...
Porous Carbon Spheres Derived from Waste Ion-Exchange Resins and Research on Adsorption of Methylene Blue
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A kind of porous carbon spherical material with high specific surface (SBET=1,292 m2/g) was synthesized from deactivated methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE) resins with KOH as the activator (KAC). This synthesized material was ...
Anisotropic and Noncoaxial Behavior of K0-Consolidated Soft Clays under Stress Paths with Principal Stress Rotation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: During embankment construction, the deformation behavior of soil will vary with increasing fill height because the principal stresses applied on soil elements in K0-consolidated subsoil will rotate. In this study, a series ...
Large-Strain Consolidation of Sludge in Multiple-Drainage Geotextile Tubes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a profound solution for a novel method of dewatering dredged sludge using a combined geotextile tube and vacuum-assisted prefabricated horizontal drains. Firstly, an analytical model was proposed to ...
