System Configuration Design of BIM Object-Oriented Database for Civil Engineering
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) creates tremendous value for civil engineering through information integration. Not only does it make the formulation of data storage strategies more important at the beginning of a civil ...
Experimental and Numerical Study on Magnetorheological Fluids Based on Mixing Coated Magnetic Particles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Planar Deployable Linkage and Its Application in Overconstrained Lift Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the application of a planar deployable structure with screw theory and discusses its possible applications in overconstrained lift platforms via calculating its stiffness. These platforms are all ...
Damage Detection Strategy Using Strain-Mode Residual Trends for Long-Span Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, a damage detection strategy based on distributed strain responses measured by long-gauge fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is investigated. First, the distributed strain modes of a system with multiple degrees ...
Damage Detection for Space Truss Structures Based on Strain Mode under Ambient Excitation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety assurance and detection of potential damage for space truss structures have been challenging topics. The two most critical problems are considered in this paper. One is to develop an effective damage detection method ...
Gradient Chain Structure Model for Characterizing Frequency Dependence of Viscoelastic Materials
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The frequency dependence modeling of viscoelastic (VE) materials faces the challenge of high modeling accuracy over a wide frequency range and double-objective optimization in model parameter identification. To address ...
Damage Identification of Pipeline Based on Ultrasonic Guided Wave and Wavelet Denoising
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Guided wave technology shows excellent capacity in the damage identification of the pipeline. In practical inspection, the detection ability is greatly reduced due to the interference echo signal from the feature structure ...
An Intelligent Fire Detection Algorithm and Sensor Optimization Strategy for Utility Tunnel Fires
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid development of utility tunnels, fire safety after construction is increasingly important, especially in the cable compartment. An intelligent fire detection method based on the particle swarm optimization ...
A Multiscale Bridging Material Parameter and Damage Inversion Algorithm from Macroscale to Mesoscale Based on Ant Colony Optimization
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The study of material failure phenomena with coupled multiple scales is a need and a challenge. The fundamental difficulty in these problems is due to multiscale bridging material parameters and damage, which ensure that ...
Predictive Model of Dynamic Mechanical Properties of VE Damper Based on Acrylic Rubber–Graphene Oxide Composites Considering Aging Damage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because shock absorbers are an important component of high-rise buildings, it is essential to be able to detect damage to them. Viscoelastic (VE) dampers, as a common shock absorber, directly affect the safety and reliability ...
