The Stress Analysis and Experimental Research of Tubular K-Joints With Overlap
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The geometry of overlapping tubular joints, the equations of intersection curves and the coordinate of the intersection point are introduced first. The variational method for simple tubular joints ...
Finite Element Analysis of the Lateral Vibration of Thin Annular and Circular Plates With Variable Thickness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The method of annular finite elements with variable thickness is applied for analyzing the lateral vibration of thin annular and circular plates. The material of the plates may be of isotropic ...
Risk Propagation in Multilayer Heterogeneous Network of Coupled System of Large Engineering Project
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because of the long duration, multiplicity of technical disciplines, large number of project stakeholders, and high levels of complexity and uncertainty, project risk propagation control in large engineering projects (LEPs) ...
Adsorption Behavior of PAEs on Loess–HTMAC Bentonite and Its Effects on the Performance of Cut-Off Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Phthalic acid estes (PAEs) are typical organic contaminants in landfill leachate. Loess–bentonite cut-off walls were widely used to control the transport of organic contaminants. Bentonite modified by hexadecyltrimethylammonium ...
Risk Assessment of Long Gas and Oil Pipeline Projects Inducing Landslide Disasters during Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Novel Probabilistic Cost Estimation Model Integrating Risk Allocation and Claim in Hydropower Project
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The uncertain construction of hydropower projects and fierce market competition put forward more stringent requirements for contractors with regard to accuracy and competitiveness of cost estimation. However, previous ...
Rock Deformation under Various Degrees of Karst Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Karst development and the deformation response of erosive rocks significantly influence the stability of cutting slopes. In this research, cutting slopes for high-speed railways was investigated in karst areas, and four ...
Investigation on Engineering Characteristics of Lime-Stabilized Phosphogypsum Subgrade Filler
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Phosphogypsum, which contains toxic components (e.g., heavy metal elements and fluoride), is one of the byproducts of phosphoric acid production, and filling subgrade is one of the recycling methods for it. In this ...
Development and Evaluation of a Passive Multiloop Wearable Hand Device for Natural Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article describes the development and evaluation of our passively actuated closed-loop articulated wearable (CLAW) that uses a common slider to passively drive its exo-fingers for use in physical training of people ...
Understanding Causes for Construction Claims in Hydropower Projects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydropower project construction faces huge complexities and uncertainties. Construction claims are very likely to occur, creating losses to contractors and resulting in damage at project level such as breakdown in multiparty ...
