RISEffects of Preferential Concentration on Heat Transfer in Particle-Based Solar Receivers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The working principle of particle-based solar receivers is to utilize the absorptivity of a dispersed particle phase in an otherwise optically transparent carrier fluid. In comparison to their traditional counterparts, ...
Two-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method for Multidamage Detection of Space Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although many studies have been carried out to optimize the performance of space structures, no research has been undertaken into nondestructive evaluation and health control of space structures. Multiplicities of structural ...
Adaptive Modified Hybrid Robust Projective Synchronization Between Identical and Nonidentical Fractional Order Complex Chaotic Systems With Fully Unknown Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a robust adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed. Under the existence of external disturbances, modified hybrid projective synchronization (MHPS) between two identical and two nonidentical fractionalorder ...
Fractional-Order Backstepping Sliding-Mode Control Based on Fractional-Order Nonlinear Disturbance Observer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a novel fractional-order (FO) backstepping sliding-mode control is proposed for a class of FO nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbances. Here the matched/mismatched disturbances are estimated by an FO ...
Shear Strength of Composite Circular Reinforced Concrete–Filled Steel Tubes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The shear strength of composite circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) and reinforced concrete–filled steel tube (RCFST) structural members was investigated using finite-element analysis and existing test data. Results ...
Alternative Approaches to Predict Shear Strength of Slender RC Beams Strengthened with Externally Bonded Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Laminates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The method provided in ACI 440.2R for predicting the shear strength of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) gives conservative estimates of shear capacity due to its inability ...
Experimental Study on Composite Action in Reinforced Concrete–Filled Steel-Tube Shaft Foundations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A single enlarged shaft foundation is often used to support bridge columns. In some conditions, it is constructed with a permanent steel casing, which is typically ignored in calculating the structural resistance of the ...
A Novel Delay-Independent Robust Adaptive Controller Design for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Time-Varying State Delay
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, two novel adaptive control strategies are presented based on the linear matrix inequality for nonlinear Lipschitz systems. The proposed approaches are developed by creatively using Krasovskii stability theory ...
Accurate Prediction and Modeling of Overbreak Phenomenon in Tunnel Excavation Using Rock Engineering System Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: According to various human needs, such as mineral supply, transportation, and underground storage, tunnel excavation has become commonplace today. However, one of the undesirable phenomena encountered during tunnel excavating, ...
Impact Load Test to Measure the Cohesion Energy of Asphalt Binders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe cohesion of asphalt binder plays a pivotal and effective role in evaluating the
performance efficiency of asphalt mixtures under different loading and environmental
conditions. This cohesion can be represented ...
