Selecting Building Designs with Consideration of Sustainability and Resiliency
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainability and resiliency against hazards are two important factors in building design. Sustainability parameters or attributes can be evaluated through Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) ratings ...
Quasi-Periodic Solutions of a Damped Nonlinear Quasi-Periodic Mathieu Equation by the Incremental Harmonic Balance Method With Two Time Scales
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quasi-periodic (QP) solutions of a damped nonlinear QP Mathieu equation with cubic nonlinearity are investigated by using the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method with two time scales. The damped nonlinear QP Mathieu ...
Semianalytical Solution to Determine Minimum Safety Thickness of Rock Resisting Water Inrush from Filling-Type Karst Caves
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A semianalytical solution to determine the minimum safety thickness of the rock resisting water inrush from filling-type karst caves was investigated. Mechanical analyses of the filling materials in karst caves located in ...
Coefficients and Orders Identification of Fractional Order Systems Based on Block Pulse Functions Through Two-Stage Algorithm
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method based on a two-stage algorithm to simultaneously identify the coefficients and fractional differentiation orders of fractional order systems (FOSs) with commensurate order. The proposed ...
