Band Gap of a Soft Magnetorheological Phononic Crystal
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the wave propagation in a tunable phononic crystal consisting of a porous hyperelastic magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) subjected to an external magnetic field. Finite deformations and magnetic induction ...
Wave Directionality in Three-Dimensional Periodic Lattices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work focuses on elastic wave propagation in three-dimensional (3D) low-density lattices and explores their wave directionality and energy flow characteristics. In particular, we examine the dynamic response of Kelvin ...
Characteristic Volume Element for Randomly Particulate Magnetoactive Composites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A scale-dependent numerical approach is developed through combining the finite element (FE)-based averaging process with the Monte Carlo method to determine the desired size of a characteristic volume element (CVE) for a ...
Elastic Wave Propagation in Open-Cell Foams
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work examines elastic wave propagation phenomena in open-cell foams with the use of the Bloch wave method and finite element analysis. Random foam topologies are generated with the Surface Evolver and subsequently ...

Modeling of a Three-Dimensional Single-Phase Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A three-dimensional, full-scale, single-phase finite element model has been developed for a liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) with serpentine flow patterns. Equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and species ...
Investigation of Pothole Severity and Maintenance Methods in Canada through Questionnaire Survey
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper investigates the severity of pothole problems, conducts a critical assessment of current maintenance practices, and identifies resources available for pothole repair based on the results from a questionnaire ...
Field Measurement and Modeling of Vertical and Longitudinal Strains from Falling Weight Deflectometer Testing
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates longitudinal tensile and vertical compressive strains at the bottom of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer subjected to a falling weight deflectometer during different seasons at the fully instrumented ...
