Exploring Reciprocal Influence between Individual Shopping Travel and Urban Form: Agent-Based Modeling Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A large and still growing body of literature links urban form and individual travel behavior. It is claimed that certain urban forms, such as mixed land use, can reduce transportation needs for both work and nonwork trips. ...
Improvement of Flutter Performance of a Streamlined Box Girder by Using an Upper Central Stabilizer
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Streamlined box girders are widely used when designing long-span bridges owing to their aerodynamic and aerostatic stability. However, the flutter performance of this type of girder requires improvement when they are ...
Rapid Assessment of Disaster Impacts on Highways Using Social Media
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A timely and reliable assessment of disaster impacts on highways is desired for executing evacuations, providing emergency services, and planning relief and recovery activities in disaster management. Although social media—a ...
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion High-Risk Area Prediction Model Based on Hydrodynamics Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a high-risk corrosion mechanism of oil refinery storage and transportation systems, and sand deposition is the necessary prerequisite for a corrosion environment under the ...
Incorporating Adjustable Features in the Optimal Design of Polymer Sheet Extrusion Dies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is common for materials processing operations to have adjustable features that may be used to improve the quality of the final product when variability in operating conditions is encountered. ...
Process Map for Urban-Human Mobility and Civil Infrastructure Data Collection Using Geosocial Networking Platforms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Human mobility is central to our understanding of design, planning, and development of civil infrastructure in urban areas. Although researchers have spent considerable effort in studying human mobility patterns, there is ...

Abstract: Human mobility is central to our understanding of design, planning, and development of civil infrastructure in urban areas. Although researchers have spent considerable effort in studying human mobility patterns, there is ...
A Kinetic Theory for Solutions of Nonhomogeneous Nematic Liquid Crystalline Polymers With Density Variations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The kinetic theory developed in [1] for solutions of nonhomogeneous nematic liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) of spheroidal molecular configurations is extended to account for the translational ...
Adaptive UKF-Based Parameter Estimation for Bouc-Wen Model of Magnetorheological Elastomer Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Structural system identification has attracted much attention in the structural dynamic field over the past decades. For identifying parameters of the inelastic response of a structure under ground shaking, the Kalman ...
Effects of Vertical Motion on Nonlinear Flutter of a Bridge Girder
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study addresses the effects of vertical motion on the nonlinear flutter response of a double-deck truss girder based on section model wind tunnel tests. Six dynamic systems with the same bridge deck section were tested ...
