Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Sliding Resistance of Main Cables in Double-Cable Multispan Suspension Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sliding resistance of the main cable is of the biggest concern when designing multispan suspension bridges. This paper presents a study on the layout form and sliding-resistance stability of the main cable in a double-cable ...
Longitudinal Restraint of a Double-Cable Suspension Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A double-cable system has wide application prospects in multispan suspension bridges. Longitudinal restraint stiffness of a double-cable system to the tower was studied in this paper. Two formulas were derived to calculate ...
Characterization of Nonplanar Second Harmonic Lamb Waves With a Refined Nonlinear Parameter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Structural health monitoring (SHM) methods based on the cumulative second harmonic Lamb waves show attractive advantages. An ideal nonlinear parameter should allow precise characterization of the cumulative effects of the ...
Efficient Exhaustive Search of Power Split Hybrid Powertrains With Multiple Planetary Gears and Clutches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Planetary gear (PG) powersplit hybrid powertrains have been used in producing hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicles from the Toyota, General Motor, and Ford for years. Some of the most recent designs use clutches to enable ...
A Strength Damage and Fatigue Life Prediction Model of Pavement Cement Concrete under Loading Low-Temperature Drying Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: After defining the fatigue damage variable and constructing the residual flexural strength damage model, nonlinear mathematical equations of residual flexural strength and parameters, such as number of loads and function ...
Distributed Bayesian Filter Using Measurement Dissemination for Multiple Unmanned Ground Vehicles With Dynamically Changing Interaction Topologies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel distributed Bayesian filtering (DBF) method using measurement dissemination (MD) for multiple unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) with dynamically changing interaction topologies. Different from ...
Effect of Foaming Water on Rheological and Microscopic Properties of Foamed Warm-Mix Asphalt Binders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Foamed warm-mix asphalt (WMA) produced by water injection has been gradually accepted and used. However, several key concerns should be answered such as whether the water exists in asphalt after foaming and how it will ...
An Enhanced Global–Local Higher-Order Model for Thermal Expansion Analysis of Laminated Panels Reinforced by Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are added to the matrix according to proper distribution configurations by many researchers to improve the stiffness of laminated composites. However, the distribution configurations of CNTs may ...
