Experimental study on the embedment strength of smooth dowels inserted in cross-laminated timber narrow side

open access: yesJournal of Wood Science, 2022
The embedment properties of the dowel-type fasteners is a fundamental parameter that can determine the shear resisting performance of the connections utilized in cross-laminated timber (CLT) structures. To investigate the embedment strength of the smooth

On the design of distributed organizational structures [PDF]

open access: yesAutomatica, 1987
Abstract The problem of designing human decisionmaking organizations is formulated as an organizational form problem with special structure. Petri Nets are used to represent the organizational form. An algorithmic procedure, suitable for computeraided design, is presented and the specific algorithms that it includes are developed.

Surrogate impulse ground motion for practical simulation of critical nonlinear structural responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment
Impulse-based representations of earthquake ground motions provide an efficient framework for evaluating critical nonlinear structural responses. However, the direct use of ideal impulse ground motions expressed by Dirac’s delta function may excite all ...

Testing and Structured Design

open access: yes, 1982
This paper describes part of an integrated circuit testing project carried out at Caltech between 1979 and 1982. The central theme and result of the project is a language or notation for describing tests for complex integrated circuits. The evolution of this test language has been guided by many considerations, including (1) its implementation in a ...
