Vertical Cylinder Density and Toppling Effects on Dune Erosion and Overwash
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interactions among waves, sand dunes, and vertical cylinders are investigated in a laboratory experiment. A cross-shore numerical model is expanded to include the drag force acting on cylinders. The hydrodynamic variables ...
Integrated Switching and Feedback Control for Mold Filling in Resin Transfer Molding
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two recent advances in controlling flow progression in RTM are the sequential logic control and the optimal feedback control. Both methods have powerful features as well as limitations. However, ...
Water Management Issues for Direct Borohydride/Peroxide Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study evaluated water management strategies to lengthen the run time of a batch fueled direct sodium borohydride/peroxide (NaBH4/H2O2) proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The term “batch ...
3D Numerical Modeling of Stratified Flows: Case Study of the Bosphorus Strait
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Bosphorus Strait is a typical example of a narrow sea strait and, in general, has a two-layer flow structure. Driven by the water level difference between the Black Sea (north) and the Sea of Marmara (south), a lighter ...
Soil Uncertainty and Its Influence on Simulated G/Gmax and Damping Behavior
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, recently developed probabilistic elastoplasticity was applied in simulating cyclic behavior of clay. A simple von Mises elastic–perfectly plastic material model was used for simulation. Probabilistic soil ...
