Abstract: Because the total thickness of the sandwich structures in aerospace structures is a limit, one way to improve the mechanical resistance against bird strike can be inserting an inner plate inside the core without increasing ...

Abstract: In this paper, a bird strike against a simple rectangular panel made of five different layups usually used in transparent parts of a rotorcraft is investigated. A new bird model is introduced and its results for impact on ...

Abstract: Restrain devices, being of low cost and easy to install, are often used to limit the relative displacements between the decks and columns in a simply supported bridge. Although the current guidelines have provided different ...

Abstract: Despite growing efforts, diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives have yet to address long-standing engineering participation disparities. Often, diversity and inclusion issues, along with other societal challenges, ...

Abstract: Drainage techniques can be employed to reduce damage of pile rafts in liquefiable ground by decreasing the build-up of excess pore water pressure and maintaining soil stiffness during earthquakes. This paper aims to evaluate ...
