Engineered cementitious composites with low volume of cementitious materials

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is an ultra ductile cement-based material reinforced with fibers. It is characterized by high tensile ductility and tight crack width control. Thanks to the excellent performance, ECC is emerging in broad applications to enhance the loading capacity and the durability of structures. However, ECC also faces...

Relating tensile properties with flexural properties in SHCC

Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCCs) have seen increasing field applications in past decade, yet existing quality control test methods for tensile properties are sometime difficult to implement. This paper presents a new simple inverse method for quality control of tensile strain capacity by conducting beam flexural test. It is shown...

Network-aware SuperPeers-Peers Geometric Overlay Network

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networks can be utilized to deploy massive Internet overlay services such as multicast, content distribution, file sharing, etc. efficiently without any underlying network support. The crucial step to meet this objective is to design network-aware overlay network topologies connecting all nodes that offer promising...

A Hybrid Five-Point Finite Difference Scheme for Convection-Diffusion Equations

In this paper, some five-point finite difference schemes for steady convection-diffusion problems are presented. To begin with, we use the finite volume method (FVM) to discretize the convection-diffusion equation. After that, we present two five-point difference schemes for the approximation of the first order derivatives on faces, one of which...
