RISPullout Tests on Deformed and Plain Rebars in Cement-Stabilized Rammed Earth
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stabilized rammed earth offers a low energy durable alternative to conventional building materials, such as masonry and processed timber, for low-rise residential projects. To date, rammed earth construction has mainly ...
Flood Modeling in the Coastal Plains and Mountains: Analysis of Terrain Resolution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The number of flood disasters has increased worldwide in recent decades. Identifying the optimal resolution or scale at which to represent digital terrain models (DTMs) is critical in order to improve our ability to ...
Biologically Inspired Design and Development of a Variable Stiffness Powered Ankle-Foot Prosthesis
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent advancements in powered lower limb prostheses have appeased several difficulties faced by lower limb amputees by using a series-elastic actuator (SEA) to provide powered sagittal plane flexion. Unfortunately, these ...
Nesting of Complex 2-D Parts Within Irregular Boundaries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An algorithm is outlined for the nesting of complex parts onto resources with irregular boundaries. The algorithm adapts Albano and Sapuppo’s technique for nesting irregular profiles on rectangular ...
