Abstract: An idealized three-dimensional finite element model of a rodlike trabecular bone structure was developed to study its static and dynamic responses under compressive loading, considering the effects ...

Abstract: This paper presents a fully reversible blade parametric design methodology. The blades are for application in jet fans that ventilate and provide emergency smoke control in road tunnels. The blade design variables are tip ...

Abstract: The idea of retrofitting web stiffener ends in steel bridge girders susceptible to distortion-induced fatigue using adhesively bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) angles is introduced in this study. The proposed retrofit ...

Abstract: The potential of a finite-element technique based on an egalitarian meshing of the space–time domain D of physical problems described by parabolic or hyperbolic differential equations is explored. A least-squares minimization ...

Abstract: Recycled gypsum powder from waste drywalls is a new alternative that has been recently introduced for partial cement replacement in concrete for construction applications. It has been shown that the recycled gypsum, alongside ...

Abstract: Accurate and rapid condition assessment of in-service structural components is critical to ensure safety and serviceability. One major assessment consideration is the detection and quantification of structural section loss ...

Abstract: AbstractAutomated geometrical inspection during robotic layer deposition remains a major challenge in the field of construction three-dimensional (3D) printing. Existing methods are mainly designed for postprocess inspection ...

Abstract: The casting process creates a significant amount of waste foundry sand (WFS). Using WFS as a concrete ingredient reduces the problems associated with the dumping process of these types of wastes, removes/reduces carbon ...
