Abstract: A numerical model was developed to simulate the response of two instrumented, centrifuge model tests on soft clay and to investigate the factors that affect the seismic ground response. The centrifuge tests simulated the ...

Abstract: A useful facility to the adaptation of precision gear forging by industry, is a quick method of load and flow predictions. In this work, the process of precision forging spur and helical ...

Abstract: A comparative analytical study of the average bond strength at failure of reinforcing bars embedded in unconfined normal-strength concrete (NSC) and high-strength concrete (HSC) is undertaken. The analysis makes use of an ...

Abstract: There is a renewed interest in using steel fiber reinforcement within the critical hinging regions of reinforced concrete (RC) members as a means for improving their seismic response. Examples include beam-column joints, ...

Abstract: The dynamic finite deformational behavior of a biphasic model for soft hydrated tissue is examined. In the case of uni-axial confined compression the displacement and stress fields are derived ...

Abstract: The time fractional subdiffusion equation (FSDE) as a class of anomalous diffusive systems has obtained by replacing the time derivative in ordinary diffusion by a fractional derivative of order 0<α<1. Since analytically ...

Abstract: In the last half‐century, strange notions about planning have taken hold in the technological community. Their origin can be traced to the socialist idea of total planning, but engineers and planners are usually unaware ...
