Prediction of the Anisotropy of Chiral Mechanical Metamaterials via Micropolar Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The anisotropic elastic mechanical properties of a family of single material chiral mechanical metamaterials are explored systematically. An integrated monoclinic-micropolar constitutive model is developed to quantify the ...
Tornado-Induced Structural Damage Based on Reconnaissance Surveys of the 2019 Jefferson City, Missouri, Tornado and Previous Tornadoes Notable Tornadoes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornadoes are violent, short-lived wind phenomena that may result in catastrophic damage to homes and property and significant fatalities. Based on statistical data, a majority of tornado-induced fatalities are related to ...
Seismic Performance Comparison of Precast Bridge Columns with Different Shear Span-to-Depth Ratios and Connection Designs via Quasi-Static Cyclic Test
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, seven one-third-scale bridge column specimens are tested via a quasi-static cyclic test to understand seismic performance differences between cast-in-place (CIP) and precast bridge columns with various shear ...
Experimental and Numerical Assessment of Precast Bridge Columns with Different Grouted Splice Sleeve Coupler Designs Based on Shake Table Test
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the seismic performance of a precast bridge substructure from an urban viaduct is investigated via shake table tests. A simple beam bridge is formed by using two precast bridge pier specimens, and one pier ...
