RISFree Vibration Analysis of Thin-Walled Beams Using Two-Phase Local–Nonlocal Constitutive Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical model is developed based on the thin-walled beams theory for free vibration analysis of nano/micro scale beams having nonlocal properties and arbitrary cross sections. Constitutive relations are defined by ...
An Investigation of the Effect of Weatherstrip Seals on Vehicle Vibration and Acoustics Using an Alternative Modeling Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the effect of weatherstrip seals on panel vibrations and structure borne noise is studied. First, a test structure is built to model vehicle's body and door; hammer impact tests are carried out to determine ...
Crack Initiation in Functionally Graded Materials Under Mixed Mode Loading: Experiments and Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, quasistatic crack initiation under mixed mode loading in planar (two-dimensional plane stress) functionally graded materials (FGMs) is studied. The goal of this work is to directly ...
Performance-Based Seismic Rehabilitation of Damaged Reinforced Concrete Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A building stock consisting of 130 medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged moderately during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. These buildings were rehabilitated by using simple, cost-effective methods where ...
Direct Integration Algorithms for Efficient Nonlinear Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) highway bridges are essential lifeline structures, especially in California, which has numerous active faults at which earthquakes are common occurrences. Accurate seismic structural analysis is ...

Deciphering the Influence of Product Shape on Consumer Judgments Through Geometric Abstraction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Understanding and tailoring the visual elements of a developing product to evoke desired perceived qualities and a positive response from the consumer is a key challenge in industrial design. To date, computational approaches ...
Rheological Analysis of Modified Bitumen by PVC Based Various Recycled Plastics
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the rheological behavior of bitumen modified by three waste plastics (old window frames, blinds, and cables) which are composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Thus, nine polymer-modified ...
Organic Rankine Cycle Optimization With Explicit Designs of Evaporator and Radial Inflow Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although there are studies on optimizing organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) through individual components, in this study, for the first time, both evaporator and turbine designs are included in a multiobjective optimization. ...
Physical Investigation of Polymer Nanocomposite-Modified Bitumens Containing Halloysite Nanotube and Sepiolite Nanoclay
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, nanocomposite-modified bitumens were prepared and mechanically tested as an alternative to polymer-modified binder. Halloysite nanotube and sepiolite nanoclay were employed along with some polymers to form ...
