Abstract: The theoretically high efficiency and low temperature operation of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells have motivated them to be the subject of much study since their invention in the 19th century, but ...

Abstract: Analytical sensitivity equations for the plastic rotation of beam-column finite elements are derived for reliability and optimization algorithms in structural engineering and for the assessment of plastic rotation sensitivity ...

Abstract: The direct differentiation method (DDM) has been shown to be an accurate and efficient approach to computing the sensitivity of structural response to uncertain parameters of constitutive models and finite-element formulations. ...

Abstract: The accurate measurement of dredge production contributes to the overall efficiency and cost‐effectiveness of the dredging process. The use of production measurement systems on pipeline and hopper dredges provides dredging ...

Abstract: The structural design of sealed insulating glass units for wind loads involves complex structural mechanics procedures that address load sharing between two glass lites that vary in thickness, dimensions, and heat treatments. ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic loading is an important consideration for the design and safety of coastal structures prone to tsunami hazards. Simulating the response of frame structures to tsunami loading requires an efficient and flexible ...
