RISTorsional Creep Buckling of Thin-Walled Open Tubes With a Cross Section Having an Axis of Symmetry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The variational theorem by Sanders, McComb, and Schlechte [1] is applied to find the critical collapse time of an open thin-walled tube with a cross section having an axis of symmetry subjected ...
Application of Irreversible Thermodynamics in Finite Viscoelastic Deformations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, Onsager’s principle of irreversible thermodynamics is applied to viscoelastic materials subjected to finite deformation. The constitutive equation of Ref. [10] for small dynamic ...
Critical Factors Affecting Tacit-Knowledge Sharing within the Integrated Project Team
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sharing tacit knowledge is of great importance for an integrated project team to achieve success. However, research on the factors affecting tacit-knowledge sharing within an integrated project team has been insufficient ...
Behavior of Viscoelastic Media Under Small Sinusoidal Oscillations Superposed on Finite Strain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: undeformed state, and its viscoelastic behavior is characterized by means of two different approximate theories: (a) Lianis’ approximation of the theory of finite linear viscoelasticity, and (b) Bernstein, Kearsley, Zapas...
Stress Relaxation in Combined Torsion-Tension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: of the Bernstein, Kearsley, Zapas elastic fluid theory and the Lianis constitutive equation for single-step stress-relaxation histories and show that they are identical. Using these theories, we develop theoretical expressions...
Balancing Public and Private Stakeholder Interests in BOT Concessions: Minimum Revenue Guarantee and Royalty Scheme Applied to a Water Treatment Project in China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Because of demand uncertainties, a build-operate-transfer (BOT) project may lead a concessionaire either to realize an excessive profit or suffer a loss. The object of this paper is to establish an adjustment mechanism to ...
Impact of Regulatory Focus on Choice of Project-Governance Modes: Role of Tolerance of Opportunistic Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Trust and formal control are two typical project governance modes used to manage contractor opportunistic behavior in owner-contractor relationships for construction projects. However, the question of what affects the ...
Critical Factors Affecting Tacit-Knowledge Sharing within the Integrated Project Team
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sharing tacit knowledge is of great importance for an integrated project team to achieve success. However, research on the factors affecting tacit-knowledge sharing within an integrated project team has been insufficient ...
For a Rainy Day: Preventing the Escalation of Threats into Interorganizational Relationship Conflict through Emotional Regulation and Boundary-Spanning Roles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractInterorganizational relationship conflict has attracted much attention from researchers
and practitioners in construction projects considering its important economic and
social consequences. Yet, previous studies ...
A Method of Analysis of Transient Thermal Stresses in Thermorheologically Simple Viscoelastic Solids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper is concerned with a perturbation technique suitable for the stress analysis of viscoelastic solids with temperature-dependent properties in the presence of nonuniform transient temperature ...
