A Kriging Interpolated Level Set Approach for Structural Topology Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Levelset approaches are a family of domain classification techniques that rely on defining a scalar levelset function (LSF), then carrying out the classification based on the value of the function relative to one or more ...
Multiobjective Optimization Under Uncertainty in Advanced Abrasive Machining Processes Via a Fuzzy-Evolutionary Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper considers multiobjective optimization under uncertainty (MOOUC) for the selection of optimal cutting conditions in advanced abrasive machining (AAM) processes. Processes considered are water jet machining (WJM), ...
Empirical Study to Determine Fragmentation of Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fragmentation is a well-known problem in the construction field; however, the literature shows a lack of a precise definition and appropriate measurement of this notion. The purpose of this paper is to determine indicators ...
Observer-Based Optimal Position Control for Electrohydraulic Steer-by-Wire System Using Gray-Box System Identified Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Steer-by-wire (SBW) systems in a passenger car can improve vehicle steering capability and design flexibility by replacing the mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and front wheels by a control circuit. The steering ...
Influence of Organizational Learning and Firm Size on Risk Management Maturity
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the influence of organizational learning on risk management maturity (RMM) considering firm size as a moderating variable. Information acquisition, knowledge dissemination, shared interpretation, and ...
Knowledge Utilization Process in Highway Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to determine knowledge utilization process and its influence on the performance of construction projects. Two cases of highway projects in Malaysia were used to develop a knowledge utilization ...
Scale Effect in Ice Flexural Strength
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ice flexural strength is an important parameter in the assessment of ice loads on the hulls of ice-class ships, sloped offshore structures, and sloped bridge piers. While scale effects in compressive ice strength are well ...
Modeling of N and P-Type of Coaxial Ge Detectors Using MCNPX and the Effect of Dead Layer Variation on Its Response Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study assessed the response function of a p-type and n-type coaxial high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector via Monte Carlo N-Particle eXtended (MCNPX). MCNPX was employed to model the Coaxial Ge detectors, and for a ...
Friction and Wear Reduction Mechanisms of the Reciprocating Contact Interfaces Using Nanolubricant Under Different Loads and Speeds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study aims to reveal the roles and mechanisms of Al2O3/TiO2 hybrid nanoparticles into the lube oils which could reinforce engine components durability via reducing the friction, wear, or fuel economy in automotive ...
