Abstract: A modified sliding block analysis, which allows the sliding resistance to be nonlinear visco‐elastoplastic, has been developed to predict deformations of embankments during earthquakes. Contrary to the assumption (of the ...

Abstract: Navigation channel design for large ships has evolved from a rule‐of‐thumb approach to comprehensive site specific analysis which include navigation requirements, environmental assessment and economic optimization. The ...

Abstract: Floating breakwaters are inventoried. The various types are separated into 4 general categories, which are Box, Pontoon, Mat, and Tethered Float. The Tethered Float was identified as a special category but lacked sufficient ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) additive manufacturing has transformed fused filament fabrication (FFF) by manufacturing products with excellent mechanical characteristics. However, the surface finish and dimensional ...

Abstract: Knowing machine tool dynamics and cutting force is critical to machining process optimization, tool life prediction, and in-process monitoring. Identifying system dynamics and estimating dynamic cutting forces often require ...

Abstract: Moving heat source problems are commonly seen in many manufacturing applications, while numerical modeling often takes time to analyze. This article presents a convolution neural network (CNN)-based framework for rapid ...
