RISStability of Fiber Networks Under Biaxial Stretching
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the constitutive behavior of a particular orthogonal fiber network under biaxial dead loading. We also describe a new kind of biaxial, dead-loading machine which ...
Concrete Slab Dynamic Damage Analysis of CFRD Based on Concrete Nonuniformity

Quantifying Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Urban Growth Modes in Metropolitan Cities of China: Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban growth has been recognized to involve three main modes: infilling, edge expansion, and outlying growth. However, the relationship between three urban growth modes and their driving factors remains little investigated. ...
A Study of the Interaction between Typhoon Francisco (2013) and a Cold-Core Eddy. Part II: Boundary Layer Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part II of this study, the influence of an oceanic cold-core eddy on the atmospheric boundary layer structures of Typhoon Francisco (2013) is investigated, as well as a comparison with the cold wake effect. Results show ...
Experimental Investigation on Buckling of Ellipsoidal Head of Steel Nuclear Containment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A containment of a nuclear power plant is a final barrier against the release of radioactive materials and withstands internal pressure due to an accident. Buckling is a critical failure mode of an ellipsoidal head of steel ...
The Causation of Design Error in the Construction Industry: A Multistakeholder Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A seemingly minor design error can have significant repercussions in a construction project, leading to serious safety and quality consequences, cost overrun, and delays. This error can have a lasting impact, potentially ...
