Dynamic Compressive Behavior of EPDM Rubber Under Nearly Uniaxial Strain Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic compressive stress-strain curves for ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubber at various strain rates under nearly uniaxial strain conditions have been determined with a pulse-shaped ...
Dynamic Response of Epon 828/T-403 Under Multiaxial Loading at Various Temperatures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanical response and failure behavior of Epon 828/T-403 epoxy were experimentally obtained over a strain rate range of 1.7 × 10−5 to 4.7 × 103 s−1 and a temperature range of ...
A Dispersive Model for Wave Propagation in Periodic Heterogeneous Media Based on Homogenization With Multiple Spatial and Temporal Scales
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A dispersive model is developed for wave propagation in periodic heterogeneous media. The model is based on the higher order mathematical homogenization theory with multiple spatial and temporal ...
One-Dimensional Dynamic Compressive Behavior of EPDM Rubber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic compressive stress-strain curves at various strain rates of an Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer Copolymer (EPDM) rubber have been determined with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar ...
Framework to Determine Total Maximum Daily Flow Diversions for Fish Protection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes a framework to determine the total maximum daily flow diversions (TMDFDs) of freshwater from the San Francisco Bay Delta that can be undertaken without causing the extinction of salmon, striped bass, ...
A Probabilistic-Based Design Model for Achieving Flexibility in Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we propose the use of a probabilistic-based design model as a basis for providing the flexibility in a design process that allows designs to be readily adapted to changing ...
Experimental Investigation on Dynamic Crack Propagating Perpendicularly Through Interface in Glass
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic crack propagation across a perpendicular interface in a glass specimen was investigated to understand the interaction between the crack and the interface under impact loading. The glass ...
Fracture Energy and Tension Properties of High-Strength Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A test setup and adequate instrumentation were developed to record the tension properties of high-strength concrete, including the postpeak softening response. The direct uniaxial tension tests were performed under a ...
Uplift Capacity of Suction Caissons under Sustained and Cyclic Loading in Soft Clay
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A series of centrifuge tests were conducted on instrumented model suction caissons in normally consolidated, lightly overconsolidated, and sensitive clays, to investigate the uplift capacity and external radial stress ...
Active Noise Control to Reduce the Blade Tone Noise of Centrifugal Fans
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes an active noise control method to suppress the blade tones of centrifugal fans. Two secondary sound sources are mounted into the cutoff region of the fan casing. These ...
