In the seismic design of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs), the panel zone region can significantly affect overall ductility and energy-dissipation capacity. This study investigates the influence of panel zone flexibility on the seismic response o...

Masked Stereolithography (mSLA) is an additive manufacturing technique that has been recently explored. Currently, studies in the literature addressing the investigation of stress concentrators in photosensitive resin parts printed on mSLA devices us...

Burst pressure is one of the critical strength parameters used in the design and operation of pressure vessels because it represents the maximum pressure that a vessel can withstand before failing. Historically, the Barlow formula was used as a desig...

This study investigates the effect of a polyurethane (PUR) foam layer on impact force, impact duration, and deformation with regard to radiosondes during drop tests. Numerical (Finite Element Method) and experimental approaches were used to model col...

One of the challenging aspects of designing body-in-white stiffness test rigs is measuring test accuracy. This paper proposes a method of integrating the body-in-white stiffness test rig and the body-in-white into an overall model for the optimizatio...

This study investigates the influence of various printing parameters on the tensile, compressive, and bending stiffness of fused deposition modeling (FDM)-printed polylactic acid (PLA) parts through a comprehensive full factorial design of experiment...

The aim of this work is to perform a detailed dilatometric analysis of the decomposition of austenite during the cooling process using experimentally derived continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagrams for two specific tool steels, X153CrMoV12 B...

Chatter is a complex dynamic instability in machining processes and presents nonlinear and nonstationary behavior. Detection of this phenomenon before a catastrophic failure occurs has great importance in the industry today. This behavior demands onl...

In model calibration, the identification of the unknown parameter values themselves, but also the uncertainty of these model parameters, due to uncertain measurements or model outputs might be required. The analysis of parameter uncertainty helps us...

Transfer-path analysis (TPA) is a reliable and effective diagnostic tool for determining the dominant vibration transfer paths from the actively vibrating components to the connected passive substructures in complex assemblies. Conventional and compo...

In this work, an analytical solution for the natural frequencies of elastically supported stepped beams with rigid segments is presented. The elastic end boundary conditions are modeled with a translational stiffness element, a rotational stiffness e...

In this paper, the dynamic response of the Timoshenko cracked beam subjected to a mass is investigated. In turn, it is assumed that the beam has its ends restrained with both transverse and rotational elastic springs. Based on an alternative beam the...

Researchers are currently conducting several studies in the field of navigation systems and sensors. Even in the past, there was a lot of research regarding the field of velocity sensors for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). UUVs have various serv...

The increasing demand for sustainable construction practices has prompted the exploration of innovative materials, such as waste plastics, to enhance both the environmental and mechanical performance of concrete, particularly for rigid pavements. Thi...

Experimentable Digital Twins are capable of combining different simulation domains on a system level. This has been shown for a multitude of simulation domains, e.g., rigid body dynamics, control, sensors, kinematics, etc., and application scenarios,...

An extensive application of stiffened panels is considered standard for aerospace wing construction both for reducing the structural weight and fulfilling the regulatory requirements. The connection based on the adhesive layer between the skin and st...

One of the most widely used processes in ship hull plate manufacturing is the flame forming process (FFP). In this work, the fabrication of saddle-shaped specimens with FFP using a spiral irradiating pattern is studied experimentally. The deformation...

This paper analyzes the surface quality characteristics, such as arithmetic average roughness (Ra), maximum peak-to-valley height (Rt), and average peak-to-valley height (Rz), in hard turning of AISI 52100 steel using a (TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃) coated carbid...

Micropiles, small-diameter-drilled and grouted piles, are often used to provide foundation support in challenging ground conditions. This research seeks to understand the behavior of Type D micropiles (pressure-grouted) within layered soil profiles....

This paper investigates the short-term behavior of microconcretes with recycled rubber (RmCs) for extensive use as structural and non-structural materials. The physical and mechanical properties of a typical microconcrete composition have been experi...

Rigid particle models (PMs) that explicitly consider the influence of the aggregate structure and its physical interaction mechanisms have been used to predict cracking phenomena in concrete. PMs have also been applied to reinforced concrete fracture...

Friction dampers based on the effects of dry friction are attractive to engineers because of their simple design, low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and high efficiency under heavy loads. This study proposes a new damper design based on an open...
