Abstract: In studying the environmental impacts of buildings, earthquake hazards are rarely considered, but their environmental impacts can be significant. This case study paper demonstrates how the US Federal Emergency Management ...

Abstract: In their paper, Tanov and Tabiei presented two micromechanics-based models to evaluate the elastic moduli of woven fabric reinforced composites. After going through their numerical examples shown ...

Abstract: Customer requirements must be satisfied for a product to succeed in the market. Evaluation of customer requirements plays an important role during the conceptual design phase of various design ...

Abstract: Using graph theory and Polya’s theory of counting, the present paper performs structural synthesis and analysis of planar and three-dimensional kinematic chains. The Section 2 of the paper ...

Abstract: Method of cut-set matrix with modulo-2 operation is used to enumerate all possible tree graphs from a given tree graph. The typical kinematic chains corresponding to the tree graphs are the ...

Abstract: Face stability is critical for the safety of underwater tunnel construction across fault zones. This paper presents a new analytical method that can be used to assess such stability. Following Horn’s model and the double ...

Abstract: Different chip separation criteria for the FEM simulation of machining were examined. Criterion based on distance between the tool tip and the node located immediately ahead, criterion based on ...

Abstract: A closed, elastic cylindrical shell is used as a simple model of the aircraft’s fuselage. For reducing the vibration of the fuselage and the subsequent interior sound pressure due to the ...
