RISElastic Behavior of 2D Grain Packing Modeled as Micromorphic Media Based on Granular Micromechanics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Discrete simulation and continuum modeling are two competing methods for analyzing the behavior of complex material systems and granular assemblies. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) granular micromechanics model for ...
Understanding the Dynamics of Construction Decision Making and the Impact on Work Health and Safety
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Shear Behavior of CFRP Prestressed Concrete T-Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper contributes to the scarce research available regarding the shear behavior of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) prestressed concrete beams. The beams were subjected to four-point bending and tested with ...
Seismic Risk Assessment of Four-Span Bridges in Montreal Designed Using the Canadian Bridge Design Code
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The seismic performance of 15 continuous four-span bridges with different arrangements of column heights and diameters and designed using the 2006 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code provisions were studied using incremental ...
Finite-Element Formulations for the Distortional Analysis of Wide Flange Steel Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two finite-element formulations are developed for the general distortional analysis of beams with monosymmetric sections. In the first formulation, cubic and linear Hermitian polynomials are adopted to interpolate the nodal ...
Elastic Behavior of 2D Grain Packing Modeled as Micromorphic Media Based on Granular Micromechanics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Discrete simulation and continuum modeling are two competing methods for analyzing the behavior of complex material systems and granular assemblies. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) granular micromechanics model for ...
An Extended Bayesian Optimization Approach to Decentralized Swarm Robotic Search
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Swarm robotic search aims at searching targets using a large number of collaborating simple mobile robots, with applications to search and rescue and hazard localization. In this regard, decentralized swarm systems are ...
Design Decisions and Interactions: A Sociotechnical Network Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Effective interaction between project participants is essential in achieving a high-quality design. Through interaction, information is disseminated in project teams and the required knowledge becomes accessible during ...
A Novel Reactor Configuration for Industrial Methanol Production From the Synthesis Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, the methanol synthesis on a commercial industrial catalyst in a novel cylindrical radial flow packed-bed reactor is investigated. The adiabatic and nonadiabatic cylindrical radial flow reactors were proposed ...
Clamp Load Loss due to Fastener Elongation Beyond its Elastic Limit
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The amount of clamp load due to an externally applied separating force is determined for a boiled assembly in which the fastener is elongated past its proportional limit, while the clamped ...
