RISEffect of Network Architecture on the Mechanical Behavior of Random Fiber Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fiber-based materials are prevalent around us. While microscopically these systems resemble a discrete assembly of randomly interconnected fibers, the network architecture varies from one system to another. To identify the ...
Thermomechanical Evaluation of the Performance and Integrity of a HDPE Stub-End Bolted Flange Connection
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the integrity of a manhole structure made of a 78 in. high density polyethylene (HDPE) stub-end, steel ring, and blind flange, sealed with a compressed nonasbestos fiber (CNAF) gasket is investigated by means ...
Burst Pressure Prediction of Pipes With Internal Corrosion Defects
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Corrosion in pipeline walls can lead to severe loss of material to a point which will cause complete loss of pipeline integrity. The contemporary approach of corrosion prevention is to use internal lining system to isolate ...
Development and Validation of Finite Element Structure Tuned Liquid Damper System Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Implementation of supplemental damping systems (e.g., the dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs)) to mitigate excessive tall building vibrations induced by external dynamic loads (wind storms or earthquakes) has increased over ...
Poisson's Contraction and Fiber Kinematics in Tissue: Insight From Collagen Network Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Connective tissue mechanics is highly nonlinear, exhibits a strong Poisson's effect, and is associated with significant collagen fiber re-arrangement. Although the general features of the stress–strain behavior have been ...
Integrity Assessment of Internally Corroded Pipelines Rehabilitated With a Kevlar-Reinforced Flexible Liner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Contemporary approach of corrosion prevention is to use internal lining system to isolate the corrosive medium from the host pipe's inner surface. The liners serve to offer a longer lifecycle of pipelines, as well as a ...
Seismic Performance of Precast, Pretensioned, and Cast-in-Place Bridges: Shake Table Test Comparison
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new bridge system has been developed to (1) reduce on-site construction time by using precast components, (2) eliminate major earthquake damage by utilizing column rocking and confinement of the column ends with a steel ...
Shaking Table Performance of a New Bridge System with Pretensioned Rocking Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A new bridge bent system has been developed to reduce on-site construction time, minimize residual displacements even after a large earthquake, and reduce seismic damage in comparison with conventional cast-in-place ...
