Abstract: A conjecture is derived in this paper for the pseudo-shakedown phenomenon of beams and plates which strengthen with finite displacements when subjected to repeated dynamic transverse loads causing ...

Abstract: In the latest generation of wire bonders, the cycle is so short that the wand electrode is kept stationary and the electronic flame off (EFO) discharge is from the side of the wire. This ...

Abstract: Pressure sewer networks offer a flexible alternative to more traditional gravity-based systems for the conveyance of wastewater. Some of the issues associated with pressure sewer networks (e.g., odor, septicity) arise ...

Abstract: Neglecting the changes in runoff components, i.e., base flow (Qb) and direct runoff (Qd), may lead to inaccurate estimations of the relative influence of climate change and human activities on total runoff (Q). To ...

Abstract: This study aims to determine the pounding probability of a continuous rigid bridge with high piers and long span at the actual site soil under the action of an earthquake. Finite-element models of the bridge are built to ...
