Abstract: This paper describes the development of an accelerated cavitation screening method for coatings using the concept of acoustic emission. The analytical models correlating acoustic emission signal ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to study the nonlinear vibrations induced due to wheel contact. The contact force is nonlinear and is considered to be caused due to a nonpolynomial

Abstract: A new method for nonlinear analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams resting on heterogeneous, multilayered soil is presented. The governing differential equations for beam and soil displacements are obtained using the principle ...

Abstract: This technical note presents a convenient modeling/design procedure for a class horizontal setback building to minimize the adverse effect of in-plane floor flexibility. Existence of such a class requires proportional ...

Abstract: A nonlinear dynamic framework for the analysis of beam–foundation interaction is developed. The extended Hamilton’s principle is used to analyze the response of Euler–Bernoulli beams vibrating on nonlinear continuums ...

Abstract: This paper explores the influence of two thermal loading protocols on the evolutions of stress state and soil consolidation characteristics during subsequent mechanical loading. We employed a specially designed thermal ...

Abstract: A wavelet domain forward differential Ricatti formulation is proposed in this paper for control of linear timevarying (LTV) systems. The control feedback gains derived are timefrequency dependent, and they can be appropriately ...

Abstract: Resistance factors are developed for drilled shafts for a design method based on soil variables. The uncertainties associated with the design variables and equations were systematically quantified, and Monte-Carlo simulations ...
