Abstract: An experimental study is reported to evaluate corrugated metal ties for attaching brick veneer walls to wood framing, subjected to lateral loads in the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. Typical residential and light ...

Abstract: This paper addresses three-dimensional numerical analyses of the unsteady conjugate heat transfer and thermal stress for a PWR pressurizer surge line pipe with a finite wall thickness, subjected ...

Abstract: The present paper proposes a robust method for the Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) fit to accurately estimate elastic-plastic J from the engineering fracture mechanics analysis based on deformation plasticity. ...

Abstract: Elastic–plastic fracture mechanics as well as linear-elastic fracture mechanics may be applied to evaluate a flaw in ferritic low alloy steel components for operating conditions when the material ...

Abstract: Rapid and accurate detection/localization of leakage is important to preventing severe consequences in water distribution systems, such as loss of water resources and sinkholes. This study presents a novel two-phased ...
