RISImpacts of Balancing Valves on Pump Energy and Control Performance in Variable Water Flow Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is no common agreement on the use of balance valves in the most popular variable water flow systems. A comprehensive theoretical analysis has been conducted to investigate the impacts ...
Fatigue Strengthening of Metallic Structures with a Thermally Activated Shape Memory Alloy Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Patch
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a new type of shape memory alloy (SMA)/fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) patch for repair of fatigue-sensitive steel elements. Twenty-seven single edge-notched steel coupons with ...
Debonding of Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Patches from Cracked Steel Elements under Fatigue Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper summarizes the details of a numerical and experimental research program that was conducted to study the debonding of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) patches from cracked steel members under fatigue loading. ...
Imaging the Keyhole in PAW of Aluminum Alloys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a technique for front image sensing of the weld pool in variable polarity plasma arc welding of aluminum alloys, and describes the determination of the geometrical size of ...
