Abstract: This paper presents finite-element predictions for the strength of a pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material subjected to pin-bearing loading with hole clearance. One of the distinct modes of failure in steel ...

Abstract: This paper briefly reviews the history of structural engineering education: The dawn, development, and consolidation of traditional education systems, as well as their fall into decline in the contemporary technological ...

Abstract: Initialization of the moisture profiles has been used to overcome the imbalance between analysis schemes and prediction models that generates the so-called spinup problem seen in the hydrological fields. Here precipitation ...

Abstract: Although large-scale atmospheric reanalyses are now providing physical, realistic fields for many variables, precipitation remains problematic. As shown in recent studies, using a regional model to downscale the global ...

Abstract: An ASTM-CFR engine was modeled through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled with chemical kinetics to evaluate the effect of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethanol as gasoline components, the latter as reference ...

Abstract: The spatial distribution of emergent vegetation in rivers is frequently nonuniform. Here, spatial nonuniformity is simulated in the laboratory by varying longitudinally the stem areal number density (m). Time- and ...

Abstract: A statistical design of experiments was used to study the effect of reaction temperature and time on the synthesis of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles by the thermodecomposition method. A 24–2 ...

Abstract: In the road geometric design process, speed variation along the road segment is one of the most popular criteria to evaluate road consistency, hence the importance of estimating operating speed and its variations. Most of ...
