Abstract: The reliability of vehicle–bridge dynamic interaction is evaluated. A time domain transfer matrix method for dynamic analysis is proposed. Using the idea of the Newmark-

Abstract: A screw-based formulation of the kinematics, differential kinematics, and statics of soft manipulators is presented, which introduces the soft robotics counterpart to the fundamental geometric theory of robotics developed ...

Abstract: Calculating the collapse probability of large and complex bridges during ship collisions by using reliability theory is an inevitable trend in the development of risk assessment for ship-bridge collisions. On the basis of ...

Abstract: In this study, push-out tests were conducted to evaluate the interface behavior between steel and concrete connected by bonding. Twelve sets of specimens with different adhesive thicknesses, modulus of elasticity, and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results obtained from an island-wide investigation program for anchored slopes alongside freeways, highways, and railways in Taiwan. The investigation procedures include the visual inspection of ...

Abstract: In maritime studies, seafarer fatigue has been proven to be an important risk factor that affects human performance and leads to human errors. However, in the development of human reliability analysis (HRA) for the maritime ...
