RISSome Considerations on Timoshenko Bar Problem Subjected to Nonconservative Loading
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of a Timoshenko bar subjected to motion-dependent distributed and compressive axial end loading, is considered herein. The aim is the elaboration of the definition of follower-type ...
Performance Evaluation of Novel Alkali-Silica Reaction Inhibiting Chemical Admixtures in Cementitious Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Certain salts of calcium and magnesium can mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) by reducing the pH of concrete pore solution. In a previous study, eight such promising salts were identified out of more than 700 possible ...
Experimental Study of Solar Powered Desalination Pond as Second Stage in Proposed Zero Discharge Desalination Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental scale desalination pond which utilizes solar energy as a heat source is studied in this paper. The marked solar desalination pond is considered as one of the main stages in a proposed zero discharge ...

Introduction of Novel Process for Sweetening of Sour Crude Oil: Optimization of Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The subject of this experimental report is the application of nanoparticles in petroleum refining. Sulfur removal from petroleum using carbon nanotubes is considered in this study. The properties related to the process ...
Experimental Study of Solar Pond Coupled With Forced Circulation Crystallizer as Major Stages of Proposed Zero Discharge Desalination Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pretreatment, solar pond (SP), and forced circulation crystallizer (FCC) are the basic stages of one option to provide the goals of zero discharge desalination (ZDD) process. This work represents the performance of a solar ...
Multivariable Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller Tuning Via Linear Matrix Inequalities Based on Minimizing the Nonconvexity of Linearized Bilinear Matrix Inequalities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper proposes an iterative linear matrix inequality (LMI) method for tuning the parameters of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers. The proposed method calculates the ...
Performance of Impure Calcined Clay in Binary and Ternary Concrete Mixtures Containing Portland and Slag Cements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractPortland cement (PC) substitution with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM)
is one of several strategies aimed at achieving the concrete industry’s goal of cutting
its CO2 emissions. While a high replacement ...
Development and Performance of a Composite UHPC Box-Beam Bridge Section
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Due to superior mechanical and durability properties, ultrahigh-performance concrete
(UHPC) has been increasingly used for bridge systems across the world. The flexural
and shear design of UHPC beams has been ...
Structural Evaluation of Tall Steel Moment-Resisting Structures in Simulated Horizontally Traveling Postearthquake Fire
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Postearthquake fire (PEF) can result in a catastrophe even worse than the earthquake itself. Investigating the effect of PEF loads on structures is thus of paramount importance. On the other hand, because of the complexity ...
