Structural Response Using Stiffness Decoupler
The structural properties of a new stiffness decoupler developed by Hu, Kirmser and Swartz at Kansas State University, and its applications as an energy absorber and a device to isolate...
An Assessment of Coupled Thermal-Hydrologic-Mechanical-Chemical Processes
A literature review was conducted to determine the state of knowledge available in the modeling of coupled thermal (T), hydrologic (H), mechanical (M), and chemical (C) processes relevant...
Object Oriented Design of Finite Element Software for Transient, Non-Linear Coupling Problems
The application of the Finite Element Method to general transient, non-linearly coupled problems calls for high conceptual clarity in software design. In order to attain extendibility...
Digital Imaging as a Design Tool
On most engineering projects, schematic drawings offer a technical representation of a structure to clients. For staff or the public who are not technically knowledgeable, though, schematics...
Finite Element Modeling for Land Displacements Due to Pumping
Seismic Response of Composite Coupled Walls
In many structures, height restrictions may require coupling of reinforced concrete walls by structural steel beams rather than conventional reinforced concrete beams. Through an experimental...
Coupled Heat and Moisture Transport Model for Underground Climate Prediction
A Wax-Coupled Borehole Seismic Detector for High-Resolution Measurements
A triaxial borehole seismic detector was developed for high-resolution measurements at frequencies up to 2,000 Hz. Applications for this detector include three-component shallow reverse...
Advances in the Study of Far-Field Phenomena Affecting Repository Performance
Studies of far-field phenomena affecting repository performance have focussed on the role of fractures and other heterogeneities in the potential transport of radioactive solutes from...
A Phenomenological Approach to Physico Chemical Phenomena Coupled with Damage in Massive Concrete
This paper presents the first experiments which have been done to support the bases of a thermomechanical model coupled with damage and to identify the characteristics parameters needed...
Analytical Solution for a Coupled Hydraulic and Subsidence Model
Modeling of Coupled Heat-Mass-Stress Effects in Geologic Media
To investigate the importance of coupled hydraulic-thermal-mechanical processes for the potential nuclear waste storage repository at the Yucca Mountain, a computer code is being developed....
Three Tools for Design Test Bed Analysis
Three analytical tools are outlined for use in design test bed work focusing on the design/production interface. The tools are substitution analysis, coupling analysis, and value chain...
In-Plane Behavior of Concrete Masonry Coupled Walls
To study the in-plane seismic resistance of multi-story masonry coupled walls, 6 full-scale reinforced masonry specimens, each two stories high, are being constructed and tested in the...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Experiments on Two-Story Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls
Nonlinear, static finite element analyses are being used for correlation with experiments conducted on one-story reinforced masonry shear walls, and for the prediction of and correlation...
