Effects of Confinement in Circular Hollow Concrete Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The strength and ductility of concrete can be improved by adding confinement, which helps RC structures to withstand extreme loads in a ductile manner. However, the confined concrete behavior in hollow sections is not well ...
Identification of Compound Faults in Rolling Bearing Based on Optimized Variational Mode Decomposition Modal Number and Characteristic Enhancement
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Variational mode decomposition (VMD) is a typical signal-processing method for fault identification in rolling bearing. In extracting fault characteristics from vibration signals of bearing with VMD algorithm, an inaccurate ...
Lyapunov-Based Nonlinear Solution Algorithm for Structural Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A solution algorithm is proposed for nonlinear structural analysis problems involving static and/or dynamic loads based on the Lyapunov stability theory. The main idea is to reformulate the equations of motion into a ...
New Microscopic Dynamic Model for Bicyclists’ Riding Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As more attention is focused on bicycles as a mode of transportation, there is a strong need to understand microscopic behaviors of bicyclists within urban traffic systems. To respond to these needs, a new approach to ...
Automatic Screw Detection and Tool Recommendation System for Robotic Disassembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Disassembly is an essential process for the recovery of end-of-life (EOL) electronics in remanufacturing sites. Nevertheless, the process remains labor-intensive due to EOL electronics’ high degree of uncertainty and ...
A Semianalytical Solution for Transient Confined–Unconfined Flow with Non-Darcian Effect
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Pumping at a large rate can convert a confined flow to a confined–unconfined one in a confined aquifer. In this paper, a new semianalytical solution is proposed to investigate the mechanism of transient confined–unconfined ...
Bonding Behavior of Rebar and Concrete Reinforced with Steel–PVA Hybrid Fiber after Exposure to High Temperatures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the bonding behavior of rebar and concrete reinforced with steel–polyvinyl alcohol (steel–PVA) hybrid fiber after exposure to high temperatures, 30 normal concrete specimens and 60 specimens of concrete ...
Multi-Task Learning for Intention and Trajectory Prediction in Human–Robot Collaborative Disassembly Tasks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Human–robot collaboration (HRC) has become an integral element of many manufacturing and service industries. A fundamental requirement for safe HRC is understanding and predicting human trajectories and intentions, especially ...
A Review of Prospects and Opportunities in Disassembly With Human–Robot Collaboration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product disassembly plays a crucial role in the recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse of end-of-use (EoU) products. However, the current manual disassembly process is inefficient due to the complexity and variation of EoU ...
Effect of Water to Cement Ratio on Autogenous Shrinkage of Pavement Cement Concrete and Its Mechanism Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The autogenous shrinkage of pavement concrete with different water to cement ratios are measured in an experimental setup, and these samples’ gradation and pore structure characteristics are analyzed by a mercury intrusion ...
