RISReveal Shared Viewpoints of Mixed-Aged Elderly on the Performance of Neighborhood Environmental Factors Using Hybrid Statistical and Topsis Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract Elderly individuals of different age groups participate in various daily activities
within their neighborhoods. While studies have claimed the influence of the neighborhood
environment on the health and well-being ...
Reliability Analysis of Mechanical Systems Based on the First Four Moments of Input Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The performance of a mechanical or structural system can be improved through a proper selection of its design parameters such as the geometric dimensions, external actions (loads), and material characteristics. The computation ...
On Investigation of Liquid Sloshing in Cylindrical Tanks With Single and Multiply Connected Domains Using Isogeometric Boundary Element Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper explores an isogeometric boundary element method (IGA-BEM) for sloshing problems in cylindrical tanks with single and multiply connected domains. Instead of the Lagrange basis functions used in the standard BEM, ...
Method for Considering the Effect of Nonuniform Consolidation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of nonuniform consolidation on the average degree of consolidation (DOC) under the one-dimensional (1D) condition is investigated through a laboratory model test and finite-element analyses (FEAs). Nonuniform ...
Mapping the Relationship between Northern Hemisphere Winter Surface Air Temperature and the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: regression-based modeling approach is described for mapping the dependence of atmospheric state variables such as surface air temperature (SAT) on the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). For the special case of a linear model ...
Nonlinear Model Analysis of Radial Bulging Deformation of Geosynthetic-Encased Stone Columns
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution to predict the radial bulging displacement and vertical settlement behaviors of geosynthetic-encased stone columns (GESCs) considering the nonlinear-elastic and elastoplastic ...
Nonlinear Buckling and Postbuckling of Shallow Arches With Vertical Elastic Supports
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to investigate the effects of symmetric and asymmetric elastic supports on the nonlinear equilibria and buckling responses of shallow arches. It is found that arches with symmetric ...
Nonlinear Buckling and Postbuckling of Shallow Arches With Vertical Elastic Supports
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical method to investigate the effects of symmetric and asymmetric elastic supports on the nonlinear equilibria and buckling responses of shallow arches. It is found that arches with symmetric ...
In-Plane Quasi-Static Crushing Behaviors of a Novel Reentrant Combined-Wall Honeycomb
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The innovative design of microstructure topology is of great significance to improve the energy absorption performance of honeycombs. In this paper, by embedding a hexagonal substructure in each inclined wall of the ...
High-Efficiency Simulation Method for Nonstationary and Non-Gaussian Stochastic Ground Motion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThe actual ground motion is not only time-frequency nonstationary, but also shows
the fat-tailed non-Gaussianity of marginal distribution. An efficient simulation method
of nonstationary and non-Gaussian stochastic ...
