Abstract: Biocementation or microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a feasible biochemical process in enhancing the behavior of geomaterial, that is, soil strengthening and/or remediation. This biochemical ...

Abstract: Thermal spreading and constriction have been widely studied due to relevance in heat transfer across interfaces with imperfect contact and problems such as microelectronics thermal management. Much of the past work in this ...

Abstract: Operational space modeling and control are important techniques for robot manipulation. A key element of operational space control is the operational space inertia matrix (OSIM). The OSIM matrix represents a mapping between ...

Abstract: Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of freshwater ecosystems of a basin is crucial for effective water management strategies. Freshwater resources management within a basin can be significantly enhanced by ...

Abstract: Dynamics of a class of horizontal setback buildings with flexible floor diaphragms has been studied by developing a “separable model.” A rectangular plan building, with flexible floor diaphragms, is a particular case of ...

Abstract: Diffusion-reaction phenomena occur commonly in heat and mass transfer problems. Determining the decay characteristics of such problems by solving the underlying energy/mass conservation equation is often mathematically ...

Abstract: Steel bracing members are widely used in steel structures to reduce lateral displacements and dissipate energy during strong ground motions. This concept is extended to concrete frames Inelastic seismic response of reinforced ...
