Distributed Photostrictive Actuation and Opto-Piezothermoelasticity Applied to Vibration Control of Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Conventional hard-wired sensor/actuator systems are likely sensitive to strong electromagnetic fields, cross-talks, electric noises, etc. Noncontact distributed opto-electromechanical actuators driven ...
The Maximal Lyapunov Exponent for a Three-Dimensional Stochastic System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper examines the almost-sure asymptotic stability condition of a linear multiplicative stochastic system, which is a linear part of a co-dimension two-bifurcation system that is on a ...
Volumetric Filtration of Rainfall Runoff. II: Event-Based and Interevent Nutrient Fate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examines in situ phosphorus treatment using a combined unit operation and process, a volumetric clarifying filter (VCF). Urban rainfall-runoff transports phosphorus in dissolved and particulate phases with the ...
Volumetric Filtration of Rainfall Runoff. I: Event-Based Separation of Particulate Matter
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As a unit operation, filtration generally requires flow equalization and primary clarification. This study examines the separation of runoff particulate matter (PM) in a volumetric clarifying filter (VCF). The VCF is a ...
Mechanistic Model for One-Dimensional Consolidation Behavior of Nonsegregating Oil Sands Tailings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Thermal-chemical-hydraulic separation process is used to extract bitumen from surface mined oil sands ores. Huge amounts of oil sands fine tailings are produced from the extraction process. The most fundamentally challenging ...
Thermal Expansion of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We have developed an analytical method to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for single wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We have found that all CTEs are negative at low and ...
Electron Transport in Deformed Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are a material system of increasing technological importance with superb mechanical and electrical properties. It is well known that depending on details of atomic structure, ...
Observed Performance of a Deep Multistrutted Excavation in Shanghai Soft Clays
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A 15.5 m deep multistrutted soft clay excavation of a metro station in Shanghai has been monitored. The deep excavation was supported by a concrete diaphragm wall. The monitoring included wall deflections, surface and ...
Aggregated Metro Trip Patterns in Urban Areas of Hong Kong: Evidence from Automatic Fare Collection Records
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The automatic fare collection (AFC) system incorporating smart card technology is widely used in transportation systems for revenue management, but the data from this could be mined for wide-ranging applications. This paper ...
Volumetric Clarifying Filtration of Urban Source Area Rainfall Runoff
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Volumetric clarification is a common storm-water unit operation for hydrologic attenuation that couples particulate matter (PM) separation. Recent volumetric clarification can also include integrated filtration. This study ...
