Assessing Key Structural Stiffness of Existing Space Trusses Based on Optimized Simple Static Loadings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A novel method of simple static loadings is developed for existing space trusses to assess the key structural stiffness, which provides the main resistance to the structural deformation caused by the load that dominates ...
Identifying Lane-Change Maneuvers with Probe Vehicle Data and an Observed Asymmetry in Driver Accommodation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper uses an instrumented probe vehicle to monitor ambient traffic and overcome many challenges of observing traffic flow phenomena that occur over extended distances. One contribution of this paper is a general ...
Spectral Features of an Omnidirectional Narrowband Emitter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A microscale-structured surface consisting of heavily doped silicon rectangle grating and slotted silver layer is studied for omnidirectional narrowband emitter. Numerical simulation is implemented ...
