RISThe Path to Deliver the Most Realistic Follower Load for a Lumbar Spine in Standing Posture: A Finite Element Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A spine is proven to be subjected to a follower load which is a compressive load of physiologic magnitude acting on the whole spine. The path of the follower load approximates the tangent to the curve of the spine in in ...
Calibration of Nodal Demand in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an optimization methodology to calibrate the nodal demand in the model of water supply distribution systems. The matrix analysis has been carried out to get the sensitive coefficients matrix for the ...
Modeling Machining Geometric Variation in a N-2-1 Fixturing Scheme
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fixtures are used to locate and constrain workpieces in machining. Fixture properties, such as accuracy and locator layout schemes, directly affect the resultant geometric variation on the machined ...
First Principles Estimation of Shock Tube Tests on Nanoreinforced Composite Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Extreme loads events can cause enormous human and infrastructure losses. Computer modeling is the key to reducing the high cost of dynamic monitoring and experimentation. Engineers in various ...
Parametric Analysis of Transient Beam Behavior with Impact
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After any terrorist attack or natural disaster, more research focuses on the dynamic response of structures under unexpected loads. Extreme loads such as explosions and earthquakes can cause enormous human and infrastructure ...
Trust and Project Success: A Twofold Perspective between Owners and Contractors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Nonlinear Analysis for the Lateral Vibration of Footbridges Induced by Pedestrians
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the factors and variables that affect the amplitude of the lateral vibration of the footbridge induced by pedestrians in Nakamura’s model are investigated in the aspect of nonlinear dynamics. Nakamura’s model ...
New Load Transfer Hyperbolic Model for Pile-Soil Interface and Negative Skin Friction on Single Piles Embedded in Soft Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A proper load transfer model describing the pile and surrounding soil interaction is important for accurately predicting the behavior of piles. In this paper, a new load transfer hyperbolic model for the pile-soil interface ...
Modeling of Shear Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corroded Stirrups Strengthened with FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because stirrups corrode earlier and faster than longitudinal steel bars, reinforced concrete (RC) structures may fail in shear instead of bending. Since shear failure is brittle and catastrophic, it is of significance to ...
Delaney Park Geotechnical Array Dynamic Properties Inferred from the Magnitude 7.1 2018 Anchorage, Alaska, Earthquake Sequence
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: We used waveforms from the 2018 MW 7.1 Anchorage earthquake and six selected aftershocks, ranging from MW 4.2 to 5.7, to quantify site properties including shear-wave velocity profile, predominant frequencies, borehole ...
