RISExperimental Study on the Collapse Strength of Narrow Stiffened Panels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The results of five tests on narrow stiffened panels under axial compression until collapse and beyond are presented to investigate the collapse behaviors of stiffened panels. Tension tests were used to evaluate the material ...
Influence of Model Geometry and Boundary Conditions on the Ultimate Strength of Stiffened Panels Under Uniaxial Compressive Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to determine an appropriate configuration of the boundary conditions and geometric model to calculate the ultimate strength of a continuous stiffened panel under compressive loading in the finite ...
Taking China's Temperature: Daily Range, Warming Trends, and Regional Variations, 1955–2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In analyzing daily climate data from 305 weather stations in China for the period from 1955 to 2000, the authors found that surface air temperatures are increasing with an accelerating trend after 1990. They also found ...
Comparative Performance Assessment of a U-Shaped Recuperative Radiant Tube under Conventional and MILD Combustion Modes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Moderate and intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion, characterized by low reaction rate, uniform heat flux, and significantly reduced pollutants, is a promising technology which is widely used in various industries. ...
Multiagent Spatial Simulation of Autonomous Taxis for Urban Commute: Travel Economics and Environmental Impacts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the likelihood of autonomous vehicle technologies in public transport and taxi systems increasing, their impact on commuting in real-world road networks is insufficiently studied. In this study, an agent-based model ...
The Effect of Surgical Alignment in Adult Scoliotic Spines on Axial Cyclic Vibration: A Finite Element Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Finite element analysis was used to investigate the responses of five adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) subjects to cyclic vibration before and after surgical alignment (SA). The dynamic responses of the healthy and ...
Improving Workplace Hazard Identification Performance Using Data Mining
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hazard identification, as the first major step of risk management, is a crucial activity for reducing accidents and other related losses. However, recent research has revealed that a large proportion of workplace hazards ...
Optimization of Closure Jacking Forces in Multispan Concrete Rigid-Frame Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Creep, shrinkage, and temperature drops will shorten the main girder and create additional internal forces in the piers of continuous rigid-frame bridges. Horizontal jacking forces can be applied at the ends of a closure ...
Effects of Solar Temperature Gradient on Long-Span Concrete Box Girder during Cantilever Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis of a 106 × 200 × 106-m concrete box girder was conducted to study the effect of solar temperature gradients on long-span bridges during construction. Segments over the internal ...
