Abstract: This paper presents a multistage regression method to obtain an empirical joint probability density function (PDF) for rainflow amplitudes and means of non-Gaussian stress processes with asymmetric ...

Abstract: Based upon technical feasibility and interest in Augmented Reality as a flexible framework for the development of visualization tools and human–machine interfaces for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, ...

Abstract: Varied computing devices and automated sensors will enable new human-computer interface paradigms for interacting with digitally managed project information. The writers therefore propose the development of Mixed Reality ...

Abstract: Current practice utilizes two-dimensional (2D) drawings as the main visualization means to guide assembly. As an emerging technology, augmented reality (AR) integrates three-dimensional (3D) images of virtual objects into ...

Abstract: The load-carrying assessment of existing and aging bridges has been a critical challenge in Australia and elsewhere. The reversed capacity of these bridges is under investigation because of increasing traffic loads, ...

Abstract: The present study numerically investigates the aerodynamic performance of the morphing airfoil and wing with leading edge (LE) and trailing edge (TE) parabolic flaps. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations coupled ...

Abstract: Deformations in dam structures can have a critical impact on dam safety and life. Accurate methods for dam deformation prediction and safety evaluation are thus highly needed. Dam deformations can be predicted based on ...

Abstract: Conventional reinforced concrete shear walls are vulnerable to strong earthquakes with significant residual deformations, which substantially affect structural service and can even lead to structural collapse. Superelastic ...
