On the Assessment of Through-Wall Circumferential Cracks in Steam Generator Tubes With Tube Supports
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The assessment of steam generator tubes with defects is of great importance for the life extension of steam generators. Circumferential through-wall cracks are the most severe of all tube ...
A Steady-State Energy-Based Monte Carlo Method for Phonon Transport With Arbitrary Temperature Difference
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A steady-state Monte Carlo scheme is developed for phonon transport based on the energy-based deviational phonon Boltzmann transport equation (PBTE). Other than tracking trajectories and time evolution of each packet in ...
Multisource Data-Driven Approach for Predicting the Deterioration of High Mast Light Poles along Highways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Predicting the deterioration of high mast light poles (HMLPs) can support capital planning and asset management for highway agencies, such as inspection and maintenance prioritization decisions. This paper aims to develop ...
Smartphone-Based Bridge Seismic Monitoring System and Long-Term Field Application Tests
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, a bridge seismic monitoring system was developed based on smartphones connected together in the same project as a sensor network using a cloud server for easy upload and access to data. Thus, a decentralized ...
Influence of Particle Internal Pores on Hydration Kinetics and Microstructure Development in Tricalcium Silicate Hydration
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The accurate reconstruction of the morphologic organization of reactants would be a crucial aspect in understanding tricalcium silicate (C3S) hydration. However, C3S particles are generally regarded as nonporous solids for ...
Study of Ammonia Removal Efficiency and Process Regulation Strategy of Biological Aerated Filter in Treating Low-Temperature Micropolluted Urban Landscape Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To explore the treatment performance of a biological aerated filter (BAF) for exogenous pollutants in low-temperature landscape water, a laboratory and pilot system were constructed in urban rivers in the alpine region of ...
Evaluation of the Static and Dynamic Behaviors of Long-Span Suspension Bridges with FRP Cables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To overcome the limitations of traditional long-span suspension bridges with steel cables, the mechanical behavior of suspension bridges with various fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and hybrid FRP cables have been investigated ...
Weight Functions for T-Stress for Edge Cracks in Thick-Walled Cylinders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents T-stress solutions for an internal edge crack in thick-walled cylinders. Elastic fracture mechanics analysis using the boundary element method (BEM) is performed to determine ...
Modeling of the Flexural Fatigue Capacity of RC Beams Strengthened with FRP Sheets Based on Finite-Element Simulation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis (FEA) was conducted to study the parameters that affect the maximum flexural fatigue capacity of RC beams strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets. ...
Damping Behavior of Hybrid Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Cable with Self-Damping for Long-Span Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies the vibration characteristics and damping properties of a newly developed fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) cable with a self-damping function using a model vibration experiment. To verify the self-damping ...
