A geometrically nonlinear forced vibration analysis of circular cylindrical sandwich shells with open/closed cellular core using higher-order thickness and shear deformation theory is presented. The proposed sandwich shell ...
The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in augmenting the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced laminated composites is a fact. In this paper, the semianalytical studies on the dynamic instability behavior and linear and ...
The static and dynamic instability behavior of a simply supported damped composite conical shell panels subjected to periodic axial compression is studied. Bolotin method is adopted to trace the boundaries of instability ...
This study presents a semi-analytical solution of nonlinear vibrations of circular cylindrical shells made of carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber-reinforced composite (CNT-FRC). Vibrations are produced by a radial harmonic force ...
The paper develops a linear mixed integer programming formulation for allocating platforms optimally to trains arriving at a busy multi-platform station. The formulation does not assume that all trains arrive as per schedule, ...
A stabilized finite element formulation is presented to solve the governing equations for traffic flow. The flow is assumed to be one-dimensional. Both, PW-type (Payne-Whitham) 2-equation models and the LWR-type ...
The Cross model has been successfully used for modeling the shear thinning behavior of asphalt binders. Usually minimization ofleast squares/absolute error is used for obtaining model parameters. The curve fitted using ...
This study focuses on evaluating the flow behavior of conventional and polymer modified asphalt binders in steady- and dynamic-shear domain, for a temperature range of 20–70 °C, using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). ...
USHighway Capacity Manual and Indian Highway Capacity Manualdefine road capacity as the maximum sustainable flow rate at which vehicles or persons can reasonably be expected to traverse a point under the given roadway, ...
Disorderly traffic streams are those that, simply stated, do not
have parallel lines (or lanes) of vehicles but have vehicles distributed
more haphazardly in the road space. Vehicles in such streams, while
moving ...
The definition of a critical gap in literature supports that it not only varies from driver to driver but also for (over) rejected gaps by a driver. In this light, multinomial probit (MNP) models were proposed in the past ...
A term Total Crossing Time (TCT) is coined in this study. TCT of a pedestrian includes the time spent by the pedestrian in waiting and his/her crossing of a road. This paper argues that considering a distribution of TCT ...
A two-dimensional continuum model of traffic flow is proposed. The model incorporates disorderly traffic, lane indiscipline, streamwise variation of the width of the road, as well as the impact of edges of the road, on the ...

Shear walls have been conferred as a major lateral load resisting element in a building in any seismic prone zone. It is essential to determine behavior of shear wall in the preelastic and postelastic stage. Shear walls ...
In recent years, the need for sustainable yet economically viable structural materials has drawn special attention of the construction industry apart from the traditional parameters concerning safety and serviceability. ...

Rapidly increasing urbanisation and subsequently ascending shortage of land in the urban areas has pushed the design engineers to switch to the utilisation of the vertical spaces in the form of high-rise buildings and ...
The case of isolated rectangular footings being subjected to eccentric loads along both directions is very conventional as columnsare ordinarily subjected to horizontal loads, vertical loads, and moments simultaneously. ...
