Closed-Form Solution for Cavity Expansion in Strain-Softening and Undrained Soil Mass Based on the Unified Strength Failure Criterion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Simplified Approach for Settlement Analysis of Vertically Loaded Pile
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates a new and simplified nonlinear approach considering the softening effect of the soil–pile interface to predict the settlement of a single pile and a pile group. The approach adopts a nonlinear model ...
Numerical Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of Batter Piles under Inclined Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element model based on the elastic-plastic constitutive relation of the non-associated flow Mohr-Coulomb criterion is constructed to analyze the influence of inclination angles ...
Statistical Analysis of the Quantified Relationship between Evaporation Duct and Oceanic Evaporation for Unstable Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAn analysis is conducted for the first time to statistically quantify the relationship between the evaporation duct and oceanic evaporation. Through sensitivity analysis, under unstable conditions (air?sea temperature ...
Researches on Deflection Index of Full-depth Asphalt Pavement Structure in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Considering the deflection can represent the distortion of the subgrade and pavement layers all together, the deflection index is adopted for full depth pavement structure analysis. In China, the deflection formula is ...
Determination of Mode I interlaminar Fracture Toughness of C/SiC Composite Using Taped Double Cantilever Beam and J Integral
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the low in-plane strength of C/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC), arm failure may occur in the classical double cantilever beam (DCB) test for determination of the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness. A taped ...
Experimental Investigation on Flash Evaporation Related to Pipe Leakage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pipelines such as the surge line and main pipe are easily subjected to thermal stratification and thermal fatigue as a result of the nonuniform temperature distribution in the nuclear power plants. When the surge line or ...
Comparative Analysis of Temperature Field Model and Design of Cooling System Structure Parameters of Submersible Motor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The reliability of submersible motors is directly related to the operational life of offshore oil-gas resources exploration and development equipment, crude oil production, and drilling costs. Temperature field model and ...
A Right-Hand Side Function Surrogate Model-Based Method for the Black-Box Dynamic Optimization Problem
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When solving the black-box dynamic optimization problem (BDOP) in the sophisticated dynamic system, the finite difference technique requires significant computational efforts on numerous expensive system simulations to ...
Design and Evaluation of Kirschner Wire Guide Device for Patellar Fracture Fixation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Identifying the optimal position for Kirschner wire (K-wire) is crucial in tension band wiring for patellar fracture. This study analyzed the ideal position and designed a guide device to aid precise K-wire insertion. The ...
