Abstract: Steel links are widely used as key energy dissipation components in steel eccentrically braced frames and hybrid coupled walls. This paper proposes a new displacement-based fiber beam-column element for simulating the ...

Abstract: Carbon-fiber-reinforced paper-based friction material (CFRPF), as a new type of wet friction material for automatic transmission, was prepared by a paper-making process. The frictional response of ...

Abstract: This paper presents an application of the TOPKAPI model, a physically based, fully distributed hydrologic model, to flood simulation at three unique and flood prone sites in China. The TOPKAPI model was applied with a grid size of
