Abstract: The design of skewed bridges is becoming more customary in the engineering community. In this paper, the effect of the skew angle on continuous composite girder bridges is presented using three-dimensional finite-element ...

Abstract: This study presents an energy-based procedure for the design of RC frames under earthquake strong motions. For this purpose, three RC frames having 4, 8, and 12 stories that were used in FEMA P695 were selected. The ...

Abstract: A numerical method based on the SIMPLE algorithm has been developed for the analysis of vapor flow in a concentric annular heat pipe. The steady-state response of a concentric annular heat ...

Abstract: The sliding mode control (SMC) has several advantages in terms of good transient performance and system robustness. However, the sensitivity of this control technique to disturbance before reaching the sliding surface and ...

Abstract: Mean velocity and the corresponding Reynolds shear stresses of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids have been measured in a fully developed concentric flow with a diameter ratio of 0.5 and at a ...

Abstract: Although the behavior of shallow foundations under vertical load combinations has been the subject of numerous studies, the response of shallow foundations subjected to combined horizontal and torsional loading has received ...

Abstract: In this study an analytical model has been developed to describe air pressure and residual air mass variations in pressure die casting for atmospheric venting. During injection of molten metal ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical scheme for a solid–fluid coupled discrete-element method (DEM) that takes into consideration solid deformation and pore pressure generation and dissipation. Analytical solutions of conventional ...
