Stiffness and Strength Predictions of Discontinuous Fiber Composites
… Fracture predictions are obtained through a damage accumulation model called the ply discount scheme. Final structural failure of the part is declared when all plies within a single element have failed. Other definitions of final structural failure are also explored in this study. A typical …

Nonlinear Cyclic Truss Model for Beam-Column Joints of Non-ductile RC Frames
… data in terms of initial stiffness, strength and damage pattern through the joint.

Quantifying the Role of Vulnerability in Hurricane Damage via a Machine Learning Case Study
Pre-disaster damage predictions and post-disaster damage assessments are challenging because they result from complicated interactions between multiple drivers, including exposure to various hazards as well as differing levels of community resiliency. Certain societal characteristics, in …

Blast Performance of Hybrid GFRP and Steel Reinforced Concrete Beams
… levels of protection at reduced component damage levels. Despite having a high strength-to-weight ratio and being chemically inert, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars are not currently used in blast-resistant reinforced concrete due to their brittle nature and lack of …

Topographic Effects in Strong Ground Motion
… sometimes reach high values causing significant damages to the structures located on the feature. Topographically correlated damage pattern have been observed in several earthquakes and topographic amplifications have also been observed in several recorded ground motions. This phenomenon has also …

Near-surface tornado wind field estimation using damage patterns
… of the wind speed estimation from structural damage. As a result, a method of estimating the near-surface wind field of a tornado using tree damage, known as tree-fall analysis, is often used as an independent wind speed estimation method. Tree-fall analysis is exceptionally useful in forested …

A method to estimate wind turbine blade damage and to design damage resilient blades
… Each type of particle was associated with a damage mode, which depends on the mass, size, and hardness of the particle. It was found that insects strike and adhere to the blade in a region close to the leading edge. On the other hand, it was seen that sand grains promote erosion just …
