RISEffective Dewetting in a Microporous Particle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the kinetics of the outflow in a microporous particle infiltrated by a nonwetting liquid is analyzed in context of effective phase transformation. The “dewetting” process is ...
Pressurized Flow in a Mesostructured Silica Modified by Silane Groups
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: By applying a quasihydrostatic pressure, water or electrolyte solution can be compressed into a surface treated MSU-H mesoporous silica. Based on the pressure-volume curves, thermodynamic and ...
Lyophobic and Magnetized MWCNTs-Based Nanofluidic System: High-Performance Damping Structure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A high-performance damping structure was developed with lyophobic and magnetized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)–based nanoporous composite and high surface tension liquids. The MWCNTs were surface treated by long-chain ...
Influence of Plastic Deformation of Particulates on Flexure Toughness of Brittle Matrix Composite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In ductile-particulate reinforced composites with relatively low filler contents, the fracture toughness is dominated by the crack trapping effect. In this paper, this phenomenon is discussed in detail in context of
Hazard-Based Duration Models for Predicting Actual Duration of Highway Projects Using Nonparametric and Parametric Survival Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At the preconstruction phases of project development, facility stakeholders typically seek reliable estimates of project duration. This paper shows how hazard-based duration models could be used to forecast the actual ...
Quantifying the Similarity between Different Project Types Based on Their Pay Item Compositions: Application to Bundling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Similarity between project types is an important consideration in several contexts of construction management, including contract development, contractor selection, and project bundling. Projects that require similar types ...
Influence of Project Bundling on Maintenance of Traffic Costs across Highway Project Types
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Maintenance of traffic (MOT) is the process of providing transportation management and traffic control at highway work zones. MOT work is an essential part of any construction project and can constitute a significant ...
IRI Estimation Based on Pavement Distress Type, Density, and Severity: Efficacy of Machine Learning and Statistical Techniques
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The International Roughness Index (IRI) is widely used in evaluating pavement condition, making repair decisions, assessing ride comfort, and estimating vehicle operating costs. However, it is generally costly to measure ...
Ultralow-Binder-Content Carbon-Based Artificial Timber
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Carbon-filler composite artificial timber was processed and characterized. With a small amount of epoxy binder, the flexural strength was ∼18 MPa. The binder dispersion was achieved through compaction self-assembly, aided ...
Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties and Failure Criteria of Self-Compacting Concrete under Biaxial Tension-Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to explore the basic mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete, ordinary concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, self-compacting ordinary concrete, and self-compacting lightweight aggregate concrete were ...
