Abstract: Current seismic design of bridges is based on “one-time” performance of the bridges during the design seismic event. However, there might be a considerable probability of observing more than one damaging earthquakes in a ...

Abstract: An effective method of weight reduction for a beam in pure bending is to remove material near the neutral axis, often in the form of holes. Minimizing the stress concentration around these holes is an important consideration ...

Abstract: Electrical discharge machining of conducting ceramics is often associated with high roughness and porosity, which hinders their application. This porosity-laden surface morphology necessitates a postprocessing technique ...
