A Note on Performance Assessment of Signal Energy-Based Acoustic Source Localization in a Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Plate
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2024 , Article)The effectiveness of the signal energy–based acoustic source localization approach in practical applications has yet to be established. This is addressed herein by conducting an experimental study on a 500 mm × 500 mm ... -
CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF MORTAR COMPOSITES USING LINEAR AND NONLINEAR ULTRASONIC TECHNIQUES
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2024 , Conference)Engineering structures such as brick walls may start to weaken well before their projected service life due to environmental changes or natural disasters. This can result in untimely collapse of the structure. Mortar is ... -
Dynamic Forces Induced by a Single Pedestrian: A Literature Review
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2017 , Article)With the use of lighter construction materials, more slender architectural designs, and open floor plans resulting in low damping, vibration serviceability has become a dominant design criterion for structural engineers ... -
Laboratory testing of full-scale pipes partially embedded in soil to study soil-pipe interaction of offshore seabed oil and gas pipelines - Initial observations
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2014 , Conference)The geotechnical aspect of the design of off-shore oil and gas pipelines is a challenge due to inherent uncertainties in predicting soil-pipe interaction behaviour. Physical modeling is often sought after to gain insight ... -
Sagittal plane waves in infinitely periodic multilayered composites composed of alternating viscoelastic and elastic solids
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2018 , Article)In order to design phononic crystals whose band-gaps are located in low-frequency ranges, researchers commonly adopt low stiffness polymeric materials as key constituents and exploit the high impedance mismatch between ... -
Some observations on soil-pipe interface shear strength in direct shear under low effective normal stresses and large displacements
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2016 , Conference)Experimental work is undertaken at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to study the soil-pipe interface shear strength at levels of shear displacements and effective normal stresses typically encountered in offshore ...
