Abstract: Aiming to analyze the waiting decision behavior of commuters for bus transits at a bus station of departure during morning peak hours, this paper builds a bus-waiting decision model based on the prospect theory, with ...

Abstract: The use of two manipulators is more effective than a single manipulator for manipulatory tasks such as assembly of an object from large parts. This paper presents an analysis of the kinematic ...

Abstract: Due to high in-channel sedimentation rates, the Yellow River Delta of China has changed course frequently in its history, with huge socioeconomic impacts. The following questions are addressed: What is the best timing and ...

Abstract: This paper consists of two parts. The first part derives a procedure to analyze a pulse-width-modulated control system via block-pulse functions. The second part gives the procedure to design ...

Abstract: Based on the previously developed mathematical model of a series of recess action (RA) worm gear drive (i.e., semi RA, full RA, and standard proportional tooth types) with double-depth teeth, ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the strength design problem of the brazed aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger header under complex external piping loads, the limit load interactions of the header under ...

Abstract: This paper presents a probabilistic framework to include the effects of both aleatory and epistemic uncertainty sources in coupled multidisciplinary analysis (MDA). A likelihoodbased decoupling approach has been previously ...

Abstract: When designing steel members with nonsymmetric cross sections, it is essential to consider twisting effects when performing stability checks via second-order analysis according to the ANSI/AISC 360-22. Existing line-element ...

Abstract: Assembly of precast elements is a widely adopted technology for achieving accelerated bridge construction (ABC) owing to the increased construction speed and quality. Connection methods between precast structural members, ...
