RISOcean Currents-Induced Pipeline Lateral Stability on Sandy Seabed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Unlike previous mechanical actuator loading methods, in this study, a hydrodynamic loading method was employed in a flow flume for simulating ocean currents induced submarine pipeline stability on a sandy seabed. It has ...
Non-Fourier Heat Conduction in Carbon Nanotubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fourier’s law is a phenomenological law to describe the heat transfer process. Although it has been widely used in a variety of engineering application areas, it is still questionable to reveal ...
A Novel Thermal Driving Force for Nanodevices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design and construction of nanomotors are one of the most attractive fields in nanotechnology. Following the introduction of a novel concept of the thermomass, the relative mass of a phonon ...
Ballistic-Diffusive Heat Conduction in Thin Films by Phonon Monte Carlo Method: Gray Medium Approximation Versus Phonon Dispersion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The gray medium approximation treating all phonons with an averaged and representative mean-free-path (MFP) is an often used method in analyzing ballistic-diffusive heat conduction at nanoscale. However, whether there ...
Strength of Strong Ties: Empirical Evidence from the Construction Waste Hauling Business in Hong Kong
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The so-called strength of weak ties (SWT) theory asserts that weak relationships are more instrumental than strong ones in job searching and sharing. Yet, some posit the opposite: job opportunities tend to be shared through ...
Investigation of the Factors Influencing the Flowback Ratio in Shale Gas Reservoirs: A Study Based on Experimental Observations and Numerical Simulations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flowback behavior of hydraulic fractured horizontal well in shale gas reservoir is relatively different from that of conventional reservoirs. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between the ...
Optimum Filler–Bitumen Ratio of Asphalt Mortar Considering Self-Healing Property
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt mortar plays an important role in the performance of asphalt mixtures. Up to now, there have been many studies on the properties of asphalt mortar. However, asphalt mortar requires a balanced design that considers ...
Development of a Sea-Sediment Coupled Model Incorporating Ocean Bottom Heat Flux
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous in situ observations have suggested that bottom water temperature variations in shelf seas can drive significant ocean bottom heat flux (BHF) by heat conduction. The BHF-driven bottom water temperature variations, ...
A Methodology for Estimating the Response of the Coastal Ocean to Meteorological Forcing: A Case Study in Bohai Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Trajectory Planning Method for Capture Operation of Space Robotic Arm Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to deal with the complex dynamics and control problems involved in space debris removal, a trajectory planning technique for a spatial robotic arm based on twin delayed DDPG (TD3) in deep reinforcement learning ...
