ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Evaluation of Pultruded FRP Composites for Structural Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites (E-glass, carbon fiber, polyester, and epoxy matrix) were fabricated using “pultrusion,” a cost-effective process for manufacturing fiber/matrix composites. Investigation of the ...
Experimental Investigation of Tensile Fracture in Polyurethane Foams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Polyurethane foams have been used for their shock-absorption properties in various packaging applications. In many lightweight structural applications, polyurethane foams are used as the core material in sandwich beams or ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Axially Preloaded Carbon Fiber Cable Vibration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For structures deployed in space using cables in which vibration damping is critical for structural stability, the understanding of cable damping is particularly significant to the structural performance. This paper describes ...
Acoustic Emission Source Location Using Lamb Wave Modes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the development of a technique based on acoustic emission (AE) technology that can be used for global nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of steel structures. This will also be useful for the subsequent ...
Evaluation of Rib/Skin Fracture in Composite Isogrid
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fracture mechanics was used to evaluate failure of the rib/skin connection of composite “isogrids.” The energy derivative method was used to determine the strain energy release rate (
Mechanical Properties of Polyurethane-Foam Impact Limiters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rigid, closed-cell, polyurethane foams possess excellent energy-absorbing properties and are used as impact limiters for various packaging applications. They can absorb large quantities of energy as they transmit a stress ...
Crack Propagation in Concrete under Compression
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mixed‐mode crack initiation and propagation starting from the aggregate‐matrix interface in concrete under uniaxial compression was investigated using fracture mechanics approach, finite element modeling, and holographic ...
Anisotropic Plasticity Model for Foams and Honeycombs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A three‐dimensional plasticity model is developed for foams and honeycombs. The model accounts for the transverse isotropy of foams and the orthotropy of honeycombs by incorporating a shift on stress that provides a yield ...
