Abstract: Tube‐in‐tube structures are analyzed using a continuum approach in which the two beams are individually modeled by a “tube beamr” that accounts for flexural deformation, shear deformation, and shear‐lag effect. The beams ...

Abstract: Tube frame structures subjected to static or dynamic loads are usually analyzed by the finite element method in which the structure is represented by a large system of equations. This method, however, requires extensive ...

Abstract: Assessing the condition of a structure is necessary to determine its safety and reliability. Ideally, structural health monitoring should be similar to medical health monitoring of the body. In medical health monitoring, ...

Abstract: Evaluation of multimedia-based engineering education should be a continual process from the planning phase, through the implementation, to the postimplementation phase, instead of the traditional end-of-course evaluation. ...

Abstract: Effective education depends on effective communication. In the past, it was necessary to structure engineering education around the available communication media, specifically the lecture and the textbook. Technology has ...

Abstract: This paper describes improvements developed for an existing algorithm that calculates sight distance profiles based on horizontal geometry. Exact expressions are developed for vector derivatives for plane curves including ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to provide experimental data and analytical results for the tensile strength and ductility of welded wire fabric (WWF) so that engineers can confidently use WWF as structural reinforcement. ...

Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to provide experimental data and analytical results for the fatigue strength of welded wire fabric (WWF), so that engineers can confidently use WWF as structural reinforcement. The ...
