Vibration Characteristics of Functionally Graded Fractional Derivative Viscoelastic Fluid–Conveying Pipe with Initial Geometric Defects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A viscoelastic constitutive model constructed with fractional derivatives can accurately describe the mechanical phenomena caused by materials with time-dependent and memory properties. Using this model, the vibration ...
Algorithms for Generating Air-Void Structures of Idealized Asphalt Mixture Based on Three-Dimensional Discrete-Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The air-void structure of an asphalt mixture is a very important feature because it significantly impacts the strength and modulus of the material. Consequently, in-depth research into an air-void structure for quantification ...
Mechanisms and Efficiency of Removal of Opportunistic Pathogens in Secondary Effluent by Slow Filtration and Disinfection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Although the reuse of reclaimed water is one of the ways to solve the water crisis, secondary effluents still contain opportunistic pathogens that pose a potential threat to human health. Herein, we use slow filtration-d ...
