Dynamic Mode Decomposition of Turbulent Combustion Process in DLR Scramjet Combustor
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Reliability Based Service Life Prediction of Corrosion Affected Concrete Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A review of the most recently published literature suggests that the prediction of service life of corrosion affected concrete structures remains at the stage of parametric studies, in spite of intensive research on ...
Rayleigh-Taylor Instability of a Cylindrical Interface Between Two Inviscid Fluids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical analysis for the instability of a fluid film around a cylinder in an immiscible fluid is presented. A general dispersion equation, relating wave number to growth rate, is derived ...
Closed-Form Solution to First Passage Probability for Nonstationary Lognormal Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In time-dependent reliability analysis, the calculation of the mean outcrossing or upcrossing rate of a stochastic process from a safe domain or barrier level based on the Rice formula continues to present serious challenge ...
Prediction of Total Cost of Construction Project with Dependent Cost Items
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Prediction of Pitting Corrosion–Induced Perforation of Ductile Iron Pipes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increasing rate of deterioration of buried pipelines has necessitated the development of a robust assessment method for their structural integrity and service life prediction. Among various deterioration mechanisms, ...
Elastic Fracture Toughness of Ductile Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Linear elastic fracture mechanics has been widely used for fracture analysis of cracked metals. For ductile materials, it is known that the yielding of a crack front results in the easing of stress intensity at the crack ...
Effect of Applied Stress on Corrosion and Mechanical Properties of Mild Steel
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is little knowledge on the effect of stress on corrosion of mild steel and how the combination of stress and corrosion affects the mechanical properties of mild steel. This paper presents a comprehensive experiment ...
Unconditionally Stable Explicit Displacement Method for Analyzing Nonlinear Structural Dynamics Problems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel approach based on dimensional analysis for designing explicit displacement algorithms for use in analyzing nonlinear structural dynamics problems. Using this approach, a one-parameter family ...
Prediction of Time to Corrosion-Induced Concrete Cracking Based on Fracture Mechanics Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A review of the literature shows that current research on corrosion-affected reinforced concrete structures focuses more on strength deterioration than on serviceability deterioration. For corrosion-induced concrete cracking, ...
