Abstract: The results of some experiments on turbulence management using combinations of honeycombs of a different lengths and coarse and fine screens, carried out in highly nonuniform and turbulent flows ...

Abstract: Semiactive control systems combine the features of active and passive control to reduce the response of structures to various dynamic loadings. They include: (1) Active variable stiffness, where the stiffness of the structure ...

Abstract: Current procedures for estimating the peaks of the stochastic response of tall buildings to wind are based on the assumption that the response is Gaussian. Those procedures are therefore inapplicable to low-rise buildings, ...

Abstract: This work presents the development of a weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) model for simulating twodimensional transient viscoelastic free surface flow which has extensive applications in polymer ...

Abstract: This work deals with the efficiency of energy transfer in impact forming machines due to the interaction of the process with machine structure as represented by a two degree-of-freedom (dof) ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computational assessment of the behavior of single-plate shear (shear tab) connections in gravity frames under column-loss scenarios. Two-span beam assemblies without floor slabs are considered under ...

Abstract: Soil reinforcement using discrete randomly distributed fibers has been widely investigated over the last 30 years. Several models were suggested to estimate the improvement brought by fibers to the shear strength of soils. ...
