RISAerostatic Performance Improvement Based on a Novel Aerodynamic Countermeasure: Simulation and Wind Tunnel Test
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Flexible civil structures are prone to aerodynamic instabilities, such as long-span bridges and high-rise buildings, and wind-induced vibration is harmful to structural life-span and users’ comfort. To address this issue, ...
Net Section Failure of S690 High-Strength Steel Angle-to-Plate Connections
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The net section fracture behavior and resistance of S690 high-strength steel angle-to-plate connections were investigated in this paper, underpinned by testing and numerical modeling. The experiments were conducted on 23 ...
Identification of Human Inertia Properties Using a Momentum-Based Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a momentum-based approach for identifying the barycentric parameters of a human body. The human body is modeled as a multiple rigid-body dynamical system with a tree-type ...
Some Effects of a Seamount on Oceanic Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To demonstrate some effects of a seamount an oceanic flows, we have considered a uniform, two-layer flow passing a right circular cylinder of arbitrary height in a rotating fluid. In the case of vanishing stratification, ...
Flow near a Continental Boundary Driven by an Oceanic Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To provide possible dynamical interpretations of the GulfStream-induced circulation in the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB), the inshore flow driven by a steady and straight jet in a homogeneous ocean is considered via similarity ...

On the Propagation of Free Topographic Rossby Waves near Continental Margins. Part 1: Analytical Model for a Wedge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analytical model has been constructed to study the propagation of free waves of subinertial frequency in an infinite wedge filled with a uniformly stratified fluid. The problem is found to transform into the corresponding ...
Structural Health Monitoring and Model Updating of Aizhai Suspension Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A complete structural health monitoring system has been implemented on Aizhai Suspension Bridge for monitoring its health status and assessing its safety for long-term services. This system consists of nearly 112 sensors ...
A Model of Buoyant Throughflow: With Application to Branching of the Tsushima Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A reduced-gravity model is used here to investigate the dynamics of a buoyant flow through a strait driven by pressure difference of the adjoining basins. Assuming the flow to be hydraulically controlled so that the transport ...
Control Structure Interaction of Electromagnetic Mass Damper System for Structural Vibration Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To investigate the effect of control-structure-interaction (CSI) between the innovative electromagnetic mass damper (EMD) control system and the test structure, three computational models are first developed in this paper. ...
