RISWind Flow Characteristics of Multivortex Tornadoes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A multivortex tornado refers to a tornado that contains two or more small subvortices in the wind field. Due to the presence of multiple vortices, this type of tornado is likely to be more dangerous and destructive than ...
Correlation of Tensile and Bending Strength of Composites With a Circular Hole
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While significant studies have been conducted on composites containing a circular or an elliptic hole under tensile loading, few investigations have been reported on notched composites under ...
Soil Fabric and Anisotropy as Observed Using Bender Elements during Consolidation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examined the effects of soil minerals on soil anisotropy and determined the amount of changes in anisotropy during the consolidation process of soils. Soil fabric and anisotropy of kaolinite-rich and illite-rich ...
Stiffness and Cracking Behavior of New U-Shaped Steel and Concrete Composite Beam under Negative Bending
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper discussed the stiffness and cracking behavior of a new kind of reinforcement-stiffened cold-formed U-shaped steel and concrete composite beam (RCUCB) under negative bending. The static behavior of the RCUCB was ...
Preparation, Characterization, and Anti-Icing Properties of Sustained-Release Low-Freezing-Point Asphalt Mixture
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pavements covered with snow and ice in winter will reduce antiskid performance, which may cause harm to road operation safety. In this study, an asphalt mixture containing a low-freezing-point additive (LFPA) was developed ...
A Causal Inference–Based Speed Control Framework for Discretionary Lane-Changing Processes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Vehicle lane changing is one of the most important topics in autonomous driving and is the behavior most likely to cause vehicle accidents. In order to optimize the performance of vehicle lane change by controlling the ...
An Engineering Approach for Quantitative Analysis of the Lengthwise Strokes in Massage Therapies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Massage therapies are widely used for improving and restoring the function of human tissues. It is generally accepted that such therapies promote human health and well-being by several possible ...
Removal of Trichlorobenzene from Flue Gas Using Complex Absorbent
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The present study attempts to clean up 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) vapor of the flue gas from the laboratory-scale bubbling reactor. Experiments were carried out to examine the effects of input TCB vapor concentration, ...
Development of A Medical Device for Quantitative Physical Therapies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Physical therapies using mechanical loadings are widely used for improving and recovering the physical activities of human tissues. It is generally accepted that such therapies promote health and ...
Understanding Tornadic Wind Effects on Manufactured or Mobile Homes through High-Fidelity CFD Simulations
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Tornado fatality rates in the southeastern United States are higher than those in Tornado Alley, despite Tornado Alley having a higher frequency of tornadoes. A major contributing factor is the large number of mobile and ...
