RISOn the Dynamics of Flow Structure Development in an Excited Plane Jet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coherent structure dynamics in the developing region of a plane jet under acoustic excitation is studied experimentally by means of hot-wire measurements and smoke-wire flow visualization. The ...
Analytical Model to Predict Thermomechanical Relaxation of Shot Peening Induced Residual Stresses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Shot peening is widely used to improve the fatigue life of engine blades and rotors by inducing compressive residual stress on component surfaces. However, the residual stresses can relax due ...
Experimental Investigation on Rehabilitation of Corroded RC Columns with BSP and HPFL under Combined Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This research focuses on evaluating the seismic properties of corrosion-damaged RC columns strengthened by bonded steel plate (BSP) and high-performance ferrocement laminate (HPFL). The mechanical properties are experimentally ...
Seismic Behavior of Strengthened RC Columns under Combined Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Twenty-five reinforced concrete (RC) columns of section size 250 × 250 mm were designed and tested to study the seismic response considering the effect of loading case, strengthening method, and the predamage level, ...
Simplified Approximation Procedure for Performance-Based Evaluation of Liquefaction Potential
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Performance-based procedures for evaluation of liquefaction potential have been shown to provide more consistent and accurate indications of the actual likelihood of liquefaction in areas of different seismicity than ...
Parallel Computing of Discontinuous Deformation Analysis Based on Graphics Processing Unit
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) needs to be improved for large-scale analysis. In this study, the contact detection and open-close iteration, as the bottlenecks of DDA computing, are reimplemented ...
Enhancing Design Management by Partnering in Delivery of International EPC Projects: Evidence from Chinese Construction Companies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) approach has been increasingly adopted in competitive international markets, in which design management is critical to project performances. Existing studies have embraced a ...
Assessment of RC Frame Capacity Subjected to a Loss of Corner Column
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, three one-third scale reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column-slab structure specimen tests were conducted to investigate the collapse mechanisms under a loss of the corner column, including a frame with slab ...
Matrix Organization Process Reengineering for Construction Firms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The matrix organization (MO) is widely used in construction project management. MOs contain two independently operating suborganizations, namely, functional organization (FO) and project organization (PO). FO and PO ...
Postsurgical Changes of the Opening Angle of Canine Autogenous Vein Graft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The opening angles of 30 canine autogenous vein grafts were measured to determine the postsurgical change of residual strain in the vein graft. Canine femoral veins were grafted to femoral ...
