RISA New Sampling Approach for the Multi-Scale Design of Metallic Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a new sampling method for the multi-scale design of polycrystalline materials, which improves the computational time efficiency compared to the existing computational approaches. The solution strategy aims to ...
Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Microstructures With Analytical Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microstructures are stochastic by their nature. These aleatoric uncertainties can alter the expected material performance substantially and thus they must be considered when designing materials. One safe approach would be ...
A Fuzzy AHP Model to Examine the Causes of Disputes in the Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractDisputes pose serious risks for the project participants, and if not appropriately
managed, disputes cause significant delays, financial losses, and damage to relationships
between the parties. This study aims to ...
Seismically Resilient Hybrid Precast Concrete Piers with Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigated a novel hybrid precast pier system that utilized ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC). The pier combines features of emulative and nonemulative (of cast-in-place construction) systems to balance ...
Numerical Investigation of High-Strength Steel and Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete for Ductile Rectangular Hollow Columns
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) has the potential to address seismic performance issues reported for rectangular hollow columns. However, an impediment to the use of UHPC is its limited flexural ductility compared ...
Variability in Sidewalk Pedestrian Level of Service Measures and Rating
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Treating walking as a mode, transportation engineers developed the pedestrian level of service (PLOS), a concept evaluating pedestrian traffic characteristics and network capacity, similar to vehicular level of service. ...
An Adaptive Vent System for Localized and Customized Thermal Management in Buildings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces an innovative ventilation system that is capable of providing localized and customized thermal conditions in buildings. The system has diffusers with individually operable flaps that facilitate ...
Propagation of Focused and Multibeam Laser Energy in Biological Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The results of a Monte Carlo simulation of laser beam propagation in turbid media are presented. The study was performed to determine whether using a focused beam or multiple beams instead ...
Impact of Cast-in-Place Concrete Column Construction Vibrations on Sensitive Occupancies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction activities required to renovate or enlarge buildings cause vibration levels that could impede facility functionality. Facility and construction managers should have an understanding of the magnitude and ...
Determination of Behaviors in Building Product Information Acquisition for Developing a Building Product Information System in Turkey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recently, with the rapid development of information technology, old methods have been superseded by web-based building product information systems that speak the same language as the international building product ...
