RISMulti-Feature Fusion and Visualization of Pavement Distress Images Based on Manifold Learning
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: For multi-feature fusion in automatic recognition of pavement distress images, we proposed a multi-feature fusion method based on manifold learning. In this method, the intrinsic features of pavement distress images are ...
Experimental Study on Tensile Behavior of Wet Joints in a Prefabricated Composite Deck System Composed of Orthotropic Steel Deck and Ultrathin Reactive-Powder Concrete Layer
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The widely used orthotropic steel deck system is subject to several durability problems: fatigue cracking of the steel, wearing of the surfacing, and corrosion. Thus, the composite deck system composed of an orthotropic ...
Design of Single-Level Guyed Towers Considering Interrelationship between Bracing Strength and Rigidity Requirements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic buckling and second-order analyses are conducted to establish a more rigorous design procedure for single-level guyed towers, in which the interrelationship between the strength and rigidity requirements of the ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Composite Frames with Innovative Composite Transfer Beams
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Experimental and numerical studies were conducted to investigate the vertical load-carrying behavior and seismic performance of a composite frame structure with an innovative composite transfer beam, which was proposed to ...
Stability and Adequate Bracing Design of Pretensioned Cable-Braced Inverted-Y-Shaped Ferris Wheel Support System Using Matrix Structural Second-Order Analysis Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Elastic buckling and second-order analyses are conducted using the matrix structural analysis approach for the in-plane and out-of-plane stability and adequate bracing design of a new type of Ferris wheel support system ...
Design of Pre-Tensioned Cable-Stayed Buckling-Restrained Braces Considering Interrelationship between Bracing Strength and Stiffness Requirements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The conventional restraining ratio approach is not suitable for a straightforward design of the pre-tensioned cable-stayed buckling-restrained brace (PCS-BRB) because of its complicated buckling-restrained system. This ...
Rebar Anchorage Slip Macromodel Considering Bond Stress Distribution: Monotonic Loading and Model Application
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents a modified macromodel for calculating the anchorage slip of rebar under monotonic loading and its application to the fiber beam–column element model. The proposed macromodel reflects bond stress ...
Design of a Novel Parallel Mechanism for Haptic Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a novel parallel architecture with seven active degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) for general-purpose haptic devices. The prime features of the proposed mechanism are partial decoupling, large dexterous working ...
Numerical Analysis of Interface Morphology Effects on Stress Behaviors in Thermal Barrier Coatings with Varied Thicknesses
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Designing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with varied thicknesses on surface of a turbine vane has practical significance. The present study focused on reducing the residual stress levels through optimally designing the ...
In Situ Investigation of the Tool–Particle Interaction During Orthogonal Cutting of SiCp/Al Composite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Machining of silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum matrix (SiCp/Al) composites is challenging due to the complex interactions between the cutting tool and silicon carbide (SiC) particles, which critically ...
