Developing Climate Resilience Technologies for Infrastructure: Perspectives on Some Strategic Needs in Mechanical Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Infrastructure plays a crucial role in our society, supporting our communities with mechanical systems providing critical functions related to energy generation and distribution, heating and air conditioning, communication, ...
Extreme Precipitation Analysis and Prediction for a Changing Climate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Extreme precipitation is one of the most important climate hazards that pose a significant threat to human property and life. Understanding extreme precipitation events helps to manage their risk to society and hence reduce ...
Urban Heat Projections in a Changing Climate: Washington, DC, Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climate change has been shown to elevate urban temperatures, intensify extreme heat events, and raise heat exposure risks in cities. Characterizing the future trends and levels of heat-related problems is important in order ...
Risk Models for Evaluation and Type Classification of Personal Flotation Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents proposed models for assessing the aggregate performance of personal flotation devices (PFDs) by using risk methods. The aggregate performance is used to quantify the probability of a PFD saving lives ...
From Reliability-Based Design to Resilience-Based Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reliability-based design has been a widely used methodology in the design of engineering structures. For example, the structural design standards in many countries have adopted the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) ...
