DMT for Load-Settlement Curve Prediction in a Tropical Sandy Soil Compared to Plate Load Tests
(Amer Soc Testing Materials, 2020-01-01)
The flat dilatometer test (DMT) has been used as an accurate in situ site investigation tool for foundation settlement prediction. However, few investigations have assessed its performance in settlement prediction in unusual ...
Obtaining the Maximum Loading Point of Electric Power Systems using the Decoupled Methods of Newton
(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2016-01-01)
This paper presents a proposed Newton decoupled method modification (simultaneous resolution algorithm and alternate) with the addition of an equation line passing through of a point in the plane determined by the variables: ...
Prediction of Load-Settlement Curves by the DMT in an Unsaturated Tropical Soil Site
(Brazilian Soc Soil Mechanics & Geotechnical Engineering, 2019-09-01)
Several methods for prediction of the load-settlement curves of shallow foundations have been proposed based on in-situ testing data. However, the good accuracy of such prediction depends on the definition of appropriate ...
Geometric Parameterization Technique for Continuation Power Flow Based on Quadratic Curve
(2017-10-21)
The electricity sector, especially in emerging countries, has experienced several transformations, mainly resulting from the increase of electricity demand. This encourages more investment in the generation sector and ...
Characteristics of the double-torsion test to determine the R-curve of ceramic materials
(2006-10-01)
Double-torsion tests were carried out on a commercial ceramic floor tile to verify whether this test is suitable for determining the R-curve of ceramics. The instantaneous crack length was obtained by means of compliance ...
Non linear fracture mechanics of polymers: Load Separation and Normalization methods
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2012-01)
Fracture toughness of ductile polymers can be measured by the incremental crack growth resistance curve, where J-Integral value is plotted as a function of crack extension. The determination of the resistance curve, J-R, ...
A Top-Down Approach for Distribution Loss Evaluation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-10-01)
A methodology, which can be classified as Top-Down, aimed at computing technical losses in distribution systems is proposed. It can be applied to either evaluate part of the network or to analyze the whole distribution ...
Electrical customer profile using fuzzy logic theory
(2020-08-01)
Considering the increasing electrical energy demand in residences, it is necessary to know the detailed pattern of electricity use, to change the behavior of the final consumer and to reduce the global consumption. Knowing ...
Effects of specimen geometry and loading mode on crack growth resistance curves of a high-strength pipeline girth weld
(London, 2014-02-11)
This work presents an investigation of the ductile tearing properties for a girth weld made of an API 5L X80 pipeline steel using experimentally measured crack growth resistance curves. Use of these materials is motivated ...
Dishonest Newton Method Applied in Continuation Power Flow Through a Geometric Parameterization Technique
(2016-01-01)
The electricity sector has gone through several transformations due primarily to increased electricity demand, especially in emerging countries. This encourages more investment in the generation and leads to a growing ...
