Structural health monitoring of cracked structures is one of beloved subject of researchers recently. Consider of crack behavior in the water and energy pipeline is important because of environmental problems. In this paper consider of crack parameters in the underwater pipe subjected to mechanical transient load is investigated. For this purpose, three- dimensional parametric model of cracked ...

This paper is concerned with determining the minimum stand-off distance required to prevent column failures in reinforced concrete framed buildings. This is of interest because column failures can initiate progressive collapse, resulting in mass casualties. A technique is developed to determine the critical range at which failure will occur for a given weight of explosives and thus provide a sa...

Overview: University of Hawaii (UH) in collaboration with NASA Langley Research Center has developed a compact portable sensor platform capable of performing remote Raman, LIBS, Fluorescence and lidar measurements from stand-off distances. The system using a 2.5 inch diameter telescope is capable of measuring Raman, LIBS, and fluorescence spectra of a mineral target from a distance of several m...

Coupled discrete particle/continuum simulations of the normal (zero obliquity) impact of granular slugs against the centre of deformable, end-clamped beams are reported. The simulations analyse the experiments of Uth et al. (2015) enabling a detailed interpretation of their observations of temporal evolution of granular slug and a strong stand-off distance dependence of the structural response....

A single splat is the building block of a thermal spray coating; thus, investigating single splats is essential to understanding thermal spray coatings and their properties. In this study, the spreading behavior and the morphology of flame sprayed ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA) splats, deposited at various stand-off distances (SODs) onto glass and mild steel substrates were investigated using...

This paper is directed towards understanding how composition of the coal transport medium (primary CO2 and O2) affects the observed ignition stand-off distance in 40 kW co-axial turbulent diffusion, oxy-coal flames, supported in a specially designed combustion test rig, rated at 100 kW. First, a methodology to define and quantify the observed ignition stand-off distance in laboratory combustor ...
