A Study of Crack-Inclusion Interaction Using Moiré Interferometry and Finite Element Analysis
(2006-12-15)
Failure of composite materials is intrinsically linked to the fundamental problem of a matrix crack interacting with a second phase inclusion. In this work, the critical issue of matrix-inclusion debonding in the presence ...
Study of deep neural networks on graph data in a generative learning regime
(2022-08-04)
Graph-formatted data is ubiquitous among different domains from social networks and academic citation networks to drug-target interactions and others. Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved outstanding performance in ...
A Study of Differences in Severity among Crash Types in Work Zones and between Work Zone and Non-Work Zone Crashes in Alabama
(2018-07-23)
Highway work zones have become a hazardous place for both construction workers and roadway users due to the increasing risk caused by maintaining and reconstructing roadways. Both the number of crashes and fatalities in ...
A Study of Driver Behavior at Access Points with Restricted Left Turn Movements: Case Studies in Alabama
(2022-08-02)
Past studies showed that left turn movement at unsignalizd intersection caused over 40% crashes. To improve intersection safety, transportation agencies often use access management strategies to eliminate left turns for ...
A Study of Driver Behaviors at Unsignalized Intersections Using SHRP2 Naturalistic Driving Study Data and Field Observed Conflict Data
(2022-01-10)
Unsignalized intersections on divided highways with wide medians (>30 ft) have the potential for severe crashes due to numerous conflict points and high speed. Drivers making minor road left turns have to make multiple ...
A Study of Elastic Plastic Deformation of Heavily Deformed Spherical Surfaces
(2009-11-20)
This work uses a finite element analysis and analytical equations to model elastic-plastic and fully plastic large deformations of spheres in contact with rigid flat surfaces. The case considered here is of a deformable ...
