Abstract: The influence that factors such as mooring line conditions, fender arrangements, dolphin arrangements, degree of ship loading, waves of long period, wave direction, and wind on the impact energy ...

Abstract: For the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of ships moored at the offshore terminals under the action of wind waves, the moored ship system may be simplified to be linear. Introducing ...

Abstract: Through creating slow waves in structures, acoustic black hole (ABH) shows promise for potential vibration control applications. However, it remains unclear whether such phenomena can still occur in a structure undergoing ...

Abstract: This paper investigated the stabilization efficacy of alkali-activated ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) for a marine soft clay, compared with that of portland cement (PC). The influence of activators, including NaOH,

Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) methods based on the cumulative second harmonic Lamb waves show attractive advantages. An ideal nonlinear parameter should allow precise characterization of the cumulative effects of the ...

Abstract: Abstract This paper conducts a series of three-dimensional finite-element (FE) analysis to investigate the pullout behavior of horizontal circular plate anchors in sand under inclined loading. To simulate the mechanical ...

Abstract: Abstract This study presents a series of large deformation analysis to investigate the keying behavior of strip plate anchors in normally consolidated (NC) clay with varying soil profiles during the keying process. To ...

Abstract: The acoustic black hole (ABH) phenomenon in thinwalled structures with a tailored powerlawprofiled thickness allows for a gradual change of the phase velocity of flexural waves and energy focalization. However, ideal ABH ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of observed near-surface winds and wind-induced pressures on the gable roof of an instrumented low-rise building. The observations were made during the strongest typhoon to make landfall in ...

Abstract: Corrugated steel plate shear wall (CoSPSW) is a lateral load–resisting system in which corrugated infill steel wall panels are embedded inside a steel boundary frame. Compared to flat steel plate shear walls (SPSWs), elastic ...
