Abstract: In the fatigue design and analysis of concrete structures, an understanding of the dissipated energy characteristics of the material under cyclic loading is important. However, due to the heterogeneity of concrete, the ...

Abstract: Big data has emerged as an attractive concept in various industry domains. For power engineering, enormous amounts of data from different devices, different geographical locations of the power grid, and different time ...

Abstract: This paper presents a structure- and sampling-adaptive approach for analyzing human footstep-induced structural floor vibrations to estimate footstep ground reaction forces (GRFs) and gait balance symmetry. Balance symmetry ...

Abstract: This paper presents a floor-vibration-based step-level occupant-detection approach that enables detection across different structures through model transfer. Detecting the occupants through detecting their footsteps ...

Abstract: Microorganisms have been used to delay fluid mud consolidation and to keep fluid mud navigable. However, bacteria and extracellular polymer substances (EPSs) that delay sediment consolidation have not been studied widely, ...

Abstract: The copper(II) complex with alkylphosphonic acid monoalkyl ester (CuAMP) was synthesized, and its structure shown to be laminar on the basis of fast atom bombardment mass spectroscopy (FABMS). ...
