RISA Mixed Zero-Equation and One-Equation Turbulence Model in Fluid-Film Thrust Bearings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A thrust bearing is a rotary bearing that facilitates rotational movement between components and is specifically engineered to provide support for a load that is parallel to the axis of rotation. The generation of the ...
Hybrid Solar and Coal Fired Steam Power Plant Based on Air Preheating
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a hybrid solar and coalfired steam power plant with secondary air preheating is proposed, which has much higher thermal efficiency than existing hybrid solar and coalfired power generation systems. Five cases ...
Minimization of Power Usage in a Compressor Station with Multiple Compressors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
General Crack-Tip Fields for Stationary and Steadily Growing Interface Cracks in Anisotropic Bimaterials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study builds upon some recent results in the literature regarding the asymptotic behavior of bimaterial interface cracks, and gives the general form, both oscillatory and nonoscillatory, of ...
A Note on Interface Cracks With and Without Friction in Contact Zone
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A complete set of Comninou’s bimaterial interface crack-tip fields with and without friction in the contact zone (Comninou, 1977a,b) is given in terms of several arbitrary analytic functions. ...
Size-Dependent Flexoelectric Response of a Truncated Cone and the Consequent Ramifications for the Experimental Measurement of Flexoelectric Properties
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flexoelectric effect is an electromechanical phenomenon that is universally present in all dielectrics and exhibits a strong size-dependency. Through a judicious exploitation of scale effects and symmetry, flexoelectricity ...
A Three-Dimensional Mixed Finite Element for Flexoelectricity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flexoelectric effect is a universal and size-dependent electromechanical coupling between the strain gradient and electric field. The mathematical framework for flexoelectricity, which involves higher-order gradients of ...
Conceptual Design of a New Three-Tower Cable-Stayed Bridge System with Unequal-Size Fans
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multitower cable-stayed bridges with three or more towers often have economic advantages over ultralong-span double-tower cable-stayed bridges or suspension bridges, in situations when deep foundations are not required. ...
A Hierarchical Dissection of Multiscale Forcing on the Springtime Mesoscale Convective Systems in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) play a key role in regulating variability in the U.S. water and energy cycle. Here a hierarchical dissection of the multiscale forcing of springtime MCSs is carried out through a two-step ...
An Analytical Investigation of the Topographic Amplification Effects of Slopes under Seismic Loads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, an analytical approach is proposed to investigate the topographic amplification effects of slopes under seismic loads. The method of region decomposition and matching was adopted to decompose the whole ...
