Abstract: A horizontally curved beam element of arbitrary shape having three nodes and three degrees of freedom (vertical deflection, bending rotation, and twisting rotation) at each node is presented. The proposed element looks ...

Abstract: This study uses a methodology based on the calculus of variation to determine the heat transfer in passages with two-dimensional velocity fields such as rectangular channels and in the presence ...

Abstract: This paper describes new laboratory observations concerning the interaction between a series of steep incident waves and a vertical, surface-piercing, column. The motivation for the study arose ...

Abstract: This study presents a new wind turbine blade design for overcoming the restrictions of large-scale wind turbines deployment. The road design, terrain nature, and logistic capabilities represent the main barriers to maneuver ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study investigated the development of geopolymer-based reactive powder concrete (RPGC) as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Portland cement–based reactive powder concrete. Two groups of RPGC mixes (M1 ...

Abstract: This paper addresses a generalized analytical procedure for transient heat conduction in composite materials of two- and three-dimensional finite region. The Galerkin method is employed to obtain ...

Abstract: The newly developed spline finite strip method has been applied to determine the natural frequencies of plates and stiffened plates with edged elastically restrained against translation and ...

Abstract: To address the issue of corrosion of steel in concrete structures, glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement is slowly gaining acceptability as a replacement of steel. This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility ...
