Simulation Of Debris Flow Impacting Bridge Pier Tests Based On Smooth Particle Hydromechanics Method, Heng Liang, Ji-Lin Li, Fa-Ming Liu, Lun Zhang, Gang Fu, Ming-Qing Li, Si-Ming He
Rock and Soil Mechanics
In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical simulation model is established based on smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. In this model, the dynamic behavior of debris flow is described by using the Bingham fluid model, and the bridge pier is regarded as the terrain condition. The repulsive force at the boundary is introduced to improve the boundary condition. Based on flume experiments, the accumulation processes of debris flow impacting the bridge pier with various viscosities and characteristics of the impact force-time curves are analyzed. The physical models are established, and the simulation of three-dimensional dynamic evolution processes of debris flow impacting …

The development of a hurricane evacuation simulation model is a crucial task in emergency management and planning. Two major issues affect the reliability of an evacuation model: one is estimations of evacuation traffic based on socioeconomic characteristics, and the other is capacity change and its influence on evacuation outcome due to traffic incidents in the context of hurricanes. Both issues can impact the effectiveness of emergency planning in terms of evacuation order issuance, and evacuation route planning. The proposed research aims to investigate the demand and supply modeling in the context of hurricane evacuations. This methodology created three scenarios for …
Inhomogeneous Composite Design For High Energy Impact Resistance Through Computational Design, Physical Testing And Analysis, And Mathematical Modeling, Trenin Bayless
Graduate Theses & Non-Theses
Research in the development of impact resistant materials has been an expanding field for the better part of a hundred years. The development of a light penetration resistant and man-portable system that can resist extreme quantities of kinetic energy has been a subject of substantial study. In particular, the use of composite materials, polymers, ceramics, and metals has been critical to the development of the field. With the advent of complex computational programs for defining material properties, it has become possible to use simulations as a starting point for the development of next generation armored systems. To that end, it …
Development Of Hybrid Ultra-High Performance Concrete Thermoplastic Composite Panels For Blast And Ballistic Protection, Alyssa M. Libby
Development Of Hybrid Ultra-High Performance Concrete Thermoplastic Composite Panels For Blast And Ballistic Protection, Alyssa M. Libby
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In recent years, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) has become a material of interest for structures needing resistance to impact and blast loadings. These types of loadings have induced brittle flexural failure in UHPC due to punching shear from the impactor. One way to improve the impact resistance, energy absorption, and ductility of UHPC is by adding fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins to the front and rear faces of the concrete, resulting in a sandwich configuration. In this study, E-glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminates were bonded to UHPC panels using a heated consolidation process known as stamp thermoforming. The bond between the UHPC …
Projectile Generator Design For Underground Coal Mine Seal Testing, Ethan Allan Steward
Projectile Generator Design For Underground Coal Mine Seal Testing, Ethan Allan Steward
Masters Theses
"Underground coal mines have several dangers, one of the most hazardous of which is the possibility of an explosion caused by the ignition of methane gas. To reduce ventilation costs, coal mines have the option to close off abandoned areas that are no longer active with structural seals to keep an explosion from propagating into working areas of the mine. Though seals have been designed to resist the overpressure, none have been evaluated for their resistance to the impact of heavy objects. Underground explosions produce high velocity gasses that, traveling through mine openings, may propel objects in the mine at …

Digital technology has had an important impact on entrepreneurship. It has changed the uncertain nature of the process of new venture idea generation, and it has also brought unprecedented opportunities for the generation of new digital venture ideas. In order to explore how startups can deal with major challenges brought by digital technology and create new digital venture ideas, this paper focuses on micro level entrepreneurial actions and constructs a theoretical model of the relationship among networking capabilities, IT capabilities, prior knowledge, and new digital venture ideas. Furthermore, through the hierarchical linear regression analysis of 278 sample data, the paper …
