Abstract: A project was conducted to determine residual fatigue life of transmission tower anchor bolts. Notched and fatigue precracked round bar specimens were used to simulate anchor bolt fatigue and ...

Abstract: The dynamic behavior of rigid rotors as affected by the use of liquid-solid biphase lubricants in the supporting hydrodynamic bearings is studied theoretically. Two categories of dynamic behavior ...

Abstract: The application of artificial neural networks in civil engineering is gaining momentum. Most of the applications, however, use a feedforward network with a back-propagation algorithm. There is a variety of alternative ...

Abstract: This is a study of time base errors in video tape packs. The tape is viscoelastic. If a wound pack is stored at a constant temperature or subjected to environmental temperature cycles, the ...

Abstract: Thermal response of a viscoelastic rod under cyclic loading is discussed by determining the stresses and temperature in a viscoelastic rod insulated on its lateral surface and driven by a ...

Abstract: A variant of the usual boundary element method, called the boundary contour method, has been presented in the literature in recent years. In the boundary contour method in three-dimensions, the ...

Abstract: This study investigates the accuracy of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to predict heat transfer in turbulent separated flows at low Reynolds numbers. This article will focus on flow in a staggered tube bank, ...

Abstract: Smart concrete is capable of self-assessing its state of stress and strain. It is produced by tailoring the electrical conductivity of concrete with the addition of conductive materials such as carbon fiber. This paper ...
