Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of problem-based instruction program in the integration of architectural design and planning into the architectural engineering curriculum. The program consisted of two components: ...

Abstract: In this study, numerical models of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-strengthened beams were developed using nonlinear fracture mechanics for the modeling of the concrete-FRP (longitudinal and U-wrap) interfaces. Mode 1, Mode ...

Abstract: Engineering professional societies are leading and prominent providers of engineering outreach activities in the United States. Many outreach efforts are innovative and impressive, but their ability to raise awareness about ...

Abstract: The paper presents an experimental and computational study of the unsteady behavior of the rotor hub passage vortex in an axial lowpressure turbine. Different flow structures are identified as having an effect on the size, ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the unsteady formation of secondary flow structures inside a turbine rotor passage. The first stage of a twostage, lowpressure turbine is investigated at a Reynolds Number of 75,000. The design represents ...

Abstract: To prevent wheel lockup (and possible lossofcontrol and capsize) during hard braking, motorcycle manufacturers have equipped motorcycles with antilock brake systems (ABS) either as an option or as standard equipment. Several ...

Abstract: rctic sea ice has decreased dramatically in the past few decades and the Arctic is increasingly open to transit shipping and natural resource extraction. However, large knowledge gaps exist regarding composition and impacts ...
