Plastic-Damage Model for Cyclic Loading of Concrete Structures

Jee-Ho Lee, Gregory L. Fenves · 1 Aug 1998

A new plastic-damage model for concrete subjected to cyclic loading is developed using the concepts of fracture-energy-based damage and stiffness degradation in continuum damage mechanics. Two damage variables, one for tensile damage and the other for compressive damage, and a yield function with multiple-hardening variables are introduced to account for different damage states. The uniaxial…

Structural Control: Past, Present, and Future

George W. Housner, Lawrence A. Bergman, T. K. Caughey et al. · 1 Sep 1997

This tutorial/survey paper: (1) provides a concise point of departure for researchers and practitioners alike wishing to assess the current state of the art in the control and monitoring of civil engineering structures; and (2) provides a link between structural control and other fields of control theory, pointing out both differences and similarities, and points…

Phenomenological Model for Magnetorheological Dampers

B. F. Spencer, Shirley J. Dyke, M.K. Sain et al. · 1 Mar 1997

Semiactive control devices have received significant attention in recent years because they offer the adaptability of active control devices without requiring the associated large power sources. Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are semiactive control devices that use MR fluids to produce controllable dampers. They potentially offer highly reliable operation and can be viewed as fail-safe in that…

Nonlocal Damage Theory

Gilles Pijaudier‐Cabot, Zdeněk P. Bažant · 1 Oct 1987

In the usual local finite element analysis, strain softening causes spurious mesh sensitivity and incorrect convergence when the element is refined to vanishing size. In a previous continuum formulation, these incorrect features were overcome by the imbricate nonlocal continuum, which, however, introduced some unnecessary computational complications due to the fact that all response was treated…

Journal of Engineering Mechanics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Engineering Mechanics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official ASCE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Engineering Mechanics use?
Journal of Engineering Mechanics uses Author–year (ASCE) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., B. Jones, and C. Lee. (2023). "A representative article title." Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Engineering Mechanics?
No. DocuGuru generates the ascelike-new LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a ASCE-ready Journal of Engineering Mechanics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Engineering Mechanics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Engineering Mechanics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Journal of Engineering Mechanics?
ASCE journal. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by ASCE.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Engineering Mechanics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Engineering Mechanics template (the ascelike-new class) that is ready to submit to ASCE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Engineering Mechanics template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Engineering Mechanics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Engineering Mechanics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
